Completely wireless installation anywhere with magnets! "I can't see", "I can't shoot", and "I can't connect" are completely solved. What is the power of the network camera "Netgear Arlo"?

Trouble with network cameras

I don't know until I try it, but when I actually use it, I'm disappointed.

Network cameras are one of the most popular products that can be heard.

I tried to install it, but I could not see the important part due to the problem of image quality and angle of view, it was good to be able to detect moving objects in the shooting range, but I could only shoot for a moment, network settings and recording to NAS are complicated I hear various complaints, such as not being able to connect.

Netgear's "Arlo" series has emerged as a very "practical" product that is a bit different from existing network cameras by carefully picking up the voices of such actual users.

The camera body runs on battery and does not require any cable connection

Riki Maeda (Marketing Manager) of Netgear Japan GK explains its characteristics as follows.

"The first Arlo was the world's first" completely wireless "network camera that realized" completely wireless "by Wi-Fi connection and lithium battery operation at the time of its launch in 2015. No need to connect a network cable or power cable, wherever However, it can be installed. Although awareness of crime prevention is increasing even for home use such as general households and women living alone, when actually introducing it, the connection with a cable was a hurdle. It was "Arlo" that solved this problem (Mr. Maeda). "

If you search for a network camera on a shopping site, you can find a Wi-Fi compatible product at a relatively reasonable price. However, even though these products are wireless, they still cannot escape the curse of the power cable, and the installation location is limited.

Also, installing it outdoors is a big barrier. Most low-priced network cameras are limited to indoor installations and cannot be installed at points that you really want to watch, such as the front door or balcony.

Maeda analyzes this point as follows. "Current network cameras are high-performance professional products for corporations that can be used outdoors, and even though they seem to be functionally fulfilling, they cannot be used outdoors, and they are designed with a focus on cost. It's a priced product, and it's a polarized situation. What we at Netgear are aiming for in the Arlo series is something in between, that is, a product that users can really understand in terms of both functionality and price. "

Currently, the main product is the "Arlo Pro," which is equipped with a battery instead of a lithium battery. The price is 32,801 yen (tax included, according to Amazon.co.jp research on October 14, 2017) for "Arlo Pro VMS4130-100JPS" which is a set of one camera and a base station for Wi-Fi connection. ..

Considering that the price of a low-priced network camera is over 10,000 yen, while it is not uncommon for professional products to exceed 100,000 yen, it can be said that it is certainly in the middle position in terms of price.

The back is a magnet and can be easily fixed to metal parts.It can be installed outdoors and can be installed anywhere.
