i think the base station communicates directly to netgear and that's it... similar to the way the aria scales work with fitbit.
quote:Haven't heard of that issue, but let me check with the engineers. i know they pushed a new firmware update over the weekend, so make sure that you grabbed that one.
Travis, I finally got my Arlo system installed today and have to say that Netgear did a pretty bang up job on this product. With that said, I'm having a little problem. One of my cameras is outside and is hanging upside down. In the settings I have the "Invert Image" setting turned on so that the image is right side up. Everything looks fine until the camera starts recording. Once this happens, the image inverts back to upside down. After this happens, I look back in the settings and the "Invert Image" setting is still turned on while the image remains upside down. Any suggestions other than "turn the camera over" :-)
BTW, thanks again for allowing us to be part of this program.

Some quick questions (for William or any other user) before I post my review. Where do you change the distance for the motion sensor? I haven't seen anything that states that in the app. How secure is the network this is on? Can someone hack into it and watch if they want to? Unless I missed it, i haven't seen where I could change a password for the base station.

quote:My parents have one at their business. The cameras are hooked up to a DVR and only records when there's motion. The DVR is hooked up to the router and the guy that set it up set up a redirect form dvrlists.com to where they type xxxx.dvrlists.com and a login page comes up for their DVR and they can view stuff from a web browser. There is also a free app called superlivepro that they use.
I'm in the beginning stages of building a new house and was thinking of installing a security system. I don't know much about them as I haven't started researching them yet. Do the closed circuit systems that are hard drive based have the option to stream live video or view recorded video through an app? Are any of them motion based or do they only record continuously? If you can use an app, is there any yearly fee?
I'm just wondering how they compare to the Arlo system.
quote:I'm replacing a CM400 (Docsis 3.0 router I got from this program). I haven't noticed a speed boost, but the router I'm replacing is a really cheap belkin that I flashed Tomato firmware on. So far I've been able to get a a stronger signal out of the C6300 than the belkin. The administration page is also easier to navigate and do stuff in.quote:What are you replacing with the C6300?
Will try to get my C6300 review posted up in the next couple days, unless there's a rush. So far this thing is great!
I was hopping to eek out a bit more speed, but my current DOCSIS 3.0 modem and R6050 router are able to handle what I pay for. I like the idea of condensing the two products into one, but I could fit my current combo into the volume of the C6300 twice.
quote:I've only used the Arlo's mentioned here, but they record when they detect motion, and the default length of time to record is 15 seconds. I set mine to 30. I can use an Iphone App or log on to a web browser. There's a service that comes with Arlo, and it's 5GB of storage and 5 cameras for free. Once you go above the camera count or storage size it get's into monthly plans. only had the cameras for a week or so, wish I could help more.

quote:You can set up systems to either record on motion only or to record continously and loop the data. That length of time that you can record will depend on harddrive space.

quote:Definitely agree. Managed Switches, routers, rack mountable raids... Oh Marynel.... Please email me. I am in IT. I would qualify as an IT Pro...
A F&F program aimed at IT Pros would be awesome. I love the consumer stuff, but getting to put some network gear through the paces would be awesome.
