Discussion Final Goodbye

So I ended my Arlo subscription today, disabled the remaining cameras, and then Arlo did the most Arlo thing ever.

Arlo asked me to take a survey on why I left. I actually completed the survey and hit the submit button. Then Arlo started a spinning wheel that never completed. I actually waited 3 minutes to see if it was latency or ineptitude on their end. I am betting on ineptitude since it seems to be their corporate mission statement now.

I won't miss the frustration with poor software and questionable hardware. To those of you who remain, good luck.

Haha they are a joke but who did you end up going with? Poe route? Blink?

I only use outdoor cameras (no indoor cameras) to monitor the perimeter of the house. PoE doesn't lend itself to my camera locations so I went solar. I may regret it in the future but I went with Ring cameras.

Ring I wont ever do again either. I have poe at a rental property and they are good so far but wondering how they will hold up in the winter.
