Let’s look at some indoor stillshots first. Luckily we also have indoor footage to compare. For night video, it provides more light and reflective material for the IR-LEDs than footage from other cameras would have had. I had to take video with snow on the ground and not on a new moon.įor daytime video these conditions upset white balance. While the Arlo Q has good night vision, even compared to its competitors, my outdoor night (and day) footage isn’t an apples to apples comparison with other cameras. I would expect your results could be a bit more or less than that depending on what is in the complete picture and how much motion the camera is seeing.Ī big note here. Uplink bandwidth use seemed to max out at around 1 Mbps for HD video. Arlo Q is set to 1280×720 resolution by default I changed video to 1920×1080 for all of my motion detection footage. Now for my favorite part, video and image quality. The image below shows the motion detection zones screen. Different zones can now be set so you can exclude areas that have “noise”. Motion detection settings are improved over the last time I looked at the Arlo app. with motion and audio detection the clip would often start on audio detection and end just after real motion started. On the flip side, if duration is set for 2 min, it will start recording on any motion and record for 2 min regardless of motion continuing to occur. Arlo Q starts a clip on motion or audio, runs the set duration and shuts off. Some cameras will start recording on motion and continue as long as motion exists, or at the very least, start a new clip if maximum time is consumed. Within the motion rules, event durations can be set anywhere from 15 sec. I found that the two together would often start the clip before motion started, effectively taking the place of a pre-event buffer. So essentially you could miss the first part of a motion event while the camera senses motion and starts recording.Īrlo Q adds audio detection though. Motion detection does not let you set any pre-event buffer, which you’ll see on the Indoor Day Motion video below. I see at least an expected 1-3 second delay with all of the cloud camera apps, but with the Arlo app sometimes I would see “Please wait…” with a spinning circle for a significant amount of time.Īrlo Q does event/motion detection, as well as audio detection which can be viewed in the Arlo app. Even after a visit to the Support FAQ which instructed me to remove them under Devices, the cameras persisted. For example, I could not remove the old returned Arlo cameras for the life of me. Using the app felt ok, although at times certain features weren’t very intuitive. Features include immediate recording, taking a snapshot, changing brightness, two-way audio and shutting sound off.
The Cameras tab (below) shows a Live View of any camera you have in your Arlo account.

The image below shows Arlo’s Library view on an Android phone, the view varies slightly when viewed in a browser. Those same clips can be selected and viewed, shared, favorited, downloaded and deleted.

Clips are categorized as motion, audio or manual depending on how they came about populating the view. It has dates on the calendar and previews of the clips in the window. The Library view is the event timeline you see with all surveillance solutions. The Arlo app has several different features, first of which is the Library view.
