The Pro 4 combines an alarm system and a surveillance camera. It also offers the best video quality in the test. It delivers good quality recordings during the day and at night with only minor weaknesses. The Arlo scares off thieves with a siren and floodlight. However, if you want the full range of functions and access to stored videos, you have to pay extra for the subscription.
