Arlo Ultra vs Arlo Pro 2 | Part 2 of Ultra Review - Features and Video Quality
Рет қаралды 126,277
5 жыл бұрынToday, we will be testing again the newly released Arlo Ultra a 4K wireless security camera. I did my first review a couple of weeks back which I really couldn't test all of its features because of connection issues with the camera. I gave Arlo a couple of weeks to sort it out and see if this Arlo Ultra will be at least reliable enough that we will be able to test out all of its features. I will link my original review in the down below.

Also, a lot of you guys have asked me to compare the video quality of the Arlo Pro 2 with the Ultra and see if there is a major difference. Well, I'll be doing that but also I will be comparing the 4K quality of the Ultra to a 5MP security camera which is around in between a 1080p and 4k.

Hey, Lifehackster: Good for you for calling-out Arlo. Arlo already makes a substantial profit margin on their very pricy equipment. There's no need for Arlo to SHAKEDOWN their customer base. I can't wait until WYZE introduces a weatherproof camera. I bet it will be less than $100.

I have to tell it how it is... these cameras doesn't work as advertised. I think they will be major products coming out from Wyze in the next few years. They recently released a video that they were able to secure some capital investment to broaden their brand.
@brianptomey7366 5 жыл бұрын
How do you know what their profit margin is? Maybe it's too low and they couldn't afford to hire smart enough engineers. Let's see you start your own security cam co. and charge 1/2 of there price. Let's see how that works out.

LifeHackster I really would like a reply to my question here. I have seen you flip back-and-forth on Arlo being good and one of the best ones on the market, and then I have seen your comments like this that say Arlo is a piece of crap and you’re waiting for other companies to flush Arlo out for what they are? So that to me sounds like you are not as third-party as you want people to believe you are, that is in significantly doing reviews for the people not the kickback of the company? Please don’t read into this or take it the wrong way. But I have watched several of your videos and trying to make a well rounded decision based on what you want to call your expertise on this area. And at the end of everything I am still finding myself looking for other peoples reviews and not so much bloat talk. So again please if I am wrong definitely tell me but I really would like some more in-depth thought from you on a company that I have watched you for a few years promote in videos and slam in comments.

I'm relieved that I'm not missing out on much (except headaches), but I do like how the Ultra recording isn't quite as blown out with bright lighting since my house is surrounded by LED motion lights. For my next house I'm definitely stepping up to a PoE 4K system. Thanks for the great comparison and review!

What a great video!!. Thank you. Now my sad story... I originally have the 720s around the house. I was excited to jumped to the Pro 2 (bought the 6 cams set over X'mas). Stupid me didnt do research and realized free subscription only support up to 5 cams. Then I returned the system and anxiously wait for the Ultras. I went overboard with the research this time (on KZfaq mostly). Now I am stuck with my original 720s. Don't be greedy Arlo, you build it right, do not listen to your shareholders and I will spend my hard earned $. Then ARLO stock will rise back to $22+ and maybe if you up the 5 cam limitations, I will buy more cams??? Who is your cloud provider anyway? Maybe you should shop around for the masses of future happy buyers like me? All those Best Buys return is bad on the annual report. I am just saying. Remember ARLO, you are not Netflix! For the same $ per month, can you offer unlimited Kung Fu movies like Jet Lis and Donnie Yen? I gotta stop.

The C2 is by far the winner and costs less than $100. There is a pinned post in the community with a couple of users stating how good the Ultra is. My guess is they are getting something in return from Arlo...as no one is able to post a video showing the 4K quality. My Arlos are going back as well.

My Ring cameras work reliably and I use them outdoors and for indoors, I use Wyze cams and Yi cameras.

The problem with the clarity test is the YT video compression. Is there a way for you to share these videos outside of YT, so that we can look at the actual quality?
@LifeHackster 5 жыл бұрын
I will look into that. There is really not a big difference and that is why I compared it to the Reolink..what you see is almost what it is.

I noticed when you did your video of the personal cameras you use and I took note. I just replaced my malfunctioning Arlo Pro 2 camera with a Reolink Argus 2. I just got it and I'll install it in the next few days and hope to have more satisfaction. I love that the Reolink Argus 2 came with so many accessories. Arlo is officially taking an L with this new camera.

I know. The Argus has all the mounts and accessories that you need for a lesser price than the Arlo. You have to play around with the angle on where you are going to install it. I did a test lately and it seems like its motion detection is a bit short ...around 15 feet which the other PIR battery powered camera can be triggered around 20-30 feet.

@@LifeHackster My Reolink Argus 2 had to be returned due to connectivity issues. Man I feel like I can't win out here. I'll either wait for Arlo to get their act together with this Ultra cam or I'll wait for the WyzeCam outdoor camera.

Question, I live in West Texas and I'm curious out of all your cameras which one would you recommend I buy? I ordered the Nest, but debating on returning it. Thanks for all your help.

You have done an excellent job of analyzing these cameras. I don't think the Ultra is worth the money. Also, their audio output on the Arlo Pro is deceptive at around 25 decibels.

Awesome review. Can the Arlo Pro 2 cameras be used just recording to the base station, without any cloud storage? If so, do movement alerts and remote viewing work the same as they do when using the free cloud storage?
@LifeHackster 5 жыл бұрын
As to the backup recording to the Arlo Pro 2's base station, No. Uploading to the cloud is the default recording and cannot be changed or turned off. Also, to view the footage recorded, you will need to unplug your backup drive/thumb drive and connect it to ta computer to view the footage.

Thanks again! For your honesty Netgear as you said are just trying to nickel and dime their customers like Apple. What I can’t understand is. Why would they put these over price cams for sell and it still have problems. I have seen and read Bestbuy customers reviews and everyone like yourself. Agree these cams are not ready for prime time.

Actually Apple is better at least their lightning cable is cheaper than Arlo's charging cable :)

@collinbrown2044 5 жыл бұрын
I got the pro 2 right before the ultra came out and took it back to pay the difference for the ultra. The improvements are definitely worth the upgrade and overall the cameras have been easy to use even upon moving to a different location after a long time of no use. Image and sound quality especially on 2 way talk is worth it
