The Netgear Arlo Pro doesn’t start recording until you request a live feed, or if a motion is detected, which causes a three second lag between real time and the video displayed. There is also two way audio functionality, which means you can hear what’s happening in the room through the built in mic, and you can also speak into the room and be heard through the built in speaker. This push to talk capability is beneficial for many types of monitoring scenarios. What’s more, there is a sound triggered recording function. There is USB connectivity for storing video locally on a USB drive, and it also offers seven days’ worth of cloud recordings for free, meaning that you can watch live stream or view recorded video and audio for up to seven days recurring, at no cost to you.
