Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2023
The image classification / identification that comes with Arlo is perhaps the most juvenile and naive I've ever seen commercially available. You're not only spammed with incorrect notifications, such as claiming a flower pot is a person, but it drains its battery on its naivety also.
Try any other brand, this is absolute garbage.
