First, unless you have an output off of your computer for a TV OR  a computer input on your TV, it's not going to work ( tho regular monitors are cheap enough )

 

Second, the "constantly" view idea is really not compatible with the Arlo system.... they are not designed to be viewable 24/7 , but more of a motion record system.

The Arlo cameras will not stream continually even if wanted but time out every 30 mins ( not counting battery depletion will be excessive )
