In addition to less than optimal nighttime video, Arlo Q's warranty is only one year long compared to two year coverage offered by Nest and Belkin. Unlike other security cameras we tested, Netgear doesn't offer free 24/7 technical support after the first 90 days. After that, you must pay for a cloud storage plan to access 24/7 technical support.

This security camera uses microSD cards up to 64GB to record video, so there aren't any ongoing fees. You can use the mobile app to customize the video quality to optimize camera performance or save storage space. This is an especially helpful feature that isn't in every security camera. The audio quality on this camera doesn't compare well with the competition, but is clear enough when using the two way audio function. We had some issues with the camera dropping its Wi Fi connection during testing, but not enough to make the camera unusable. The SmartCam's one year warranty is average for security cameras, but half as long as the warranties from Nest and Belkin.

In general, homeowners receive a 10 20% discount on their insurance by having a functioning home alarm system installed. This type of system allows the home alarm to be remotely armed or disarmed, cameras to be monitored, household lights to be turned off and on, air conditioning or heating to be turned on or changed, and motion detectors to be monitored. All of these functions not only allow homeowners to watch for intruders, but they also help to protect the home remotely. Turning on lights at a specified time through remote access can help to give the illusion that someone is at home even when they are not. Accessing the heating or air conditioning can help to prepare the home for sudden temperature changes to prevent pipe damage and can also help to save on electric or gas bills. In most cases remote access comes with a small fee, but it offers homeowners the opportunity to take charge of their home even when they are out of town.
