Indoor camera2KOur opinion
Excellent hardware value on paper, but its explicit lack of SmartHub support makes the recording path cloud-only.
Watch-outs
- Saved recordings require a paid plan
- No local storage or SmartHub support
- PoE requires a $49 indoor-only VMA3900 adapter per camera. Budget separately for Ethernet cable and a PoE switch or injector. Confirm SmartHub functions and continuous recording with Arlo before choosing PoE.
