This past year, there were two separate incidents where I walked outside and noticed that someone had thrown eggs at my car. To this day, we don’t know who did it but we do know that many cars in our neighborhood seemed to be targeted and many suspect it was teenagers up to no good. You might think this was just a harmless prank but egg yolk can erode car paint and we had to spend money to have my car simonized to remove the streaks left behind.
This experience made us think hard about possibly installing security cameras around the perimeter of our home. Cost was definitely a factor because we knew that these systems can be very expensive and we just didn’t have the means to invest in such a costly security camera.
Fortunately, Best Buy offers a great deal on the Arlo Smart Home Security Camera System. Although you can purchase Arlo cameras at other retailers, their four camera set for $499.99 is only available exclusively at Best Buy. This product allows you to safeguard your home or business with the 4 motion-activated Netgear Arlo Smart Home security cameras.
Here are some of the features that my husband and I love about NETGEAR Arlo Security Camera System:
- With access to downloadable apps, we can view live video from our compatible Android, Apple® iOS, Amazon Kindle, Windows or Mac device.
- We can capture 720p video footage at night and during the day, with a 130° field of view.
- The cameras are motion-activated and begin to record once they sense movement thereby immediately notifying us via email or through the app.
- Its 6 magnetic camera mounts and 9 mounting screws allow for easy installation on walls or flat surfaces.
Our NETGEAR Nighthawk router is compatible with the Arlo Smart Home Security Cameras. You can find this new router also exclusively available at Best Buy and it helps to eliminate dead-spots in your Wi-Fi that are caused by your family’s growing technology demands such as streaming movies and gaming online. My husband loved that this router comes with a Wi-Fi extender and Geek Squad Set Up and Support via phone & web, for one full year. He’s not as techie as I am but he is definitely learning!

I live in an apartment but I can see that coming in handy. I have two areas that I can’t see unless I am in one part versus the other.
When I am in my bedroom of my apartment I can not see anywhere else–I would love to be able to see the doorway to the apartment and one on the outside so I know if someone is lurking there!
I reminder back in 1999 ( yep it’s been that long) when myself and a whole bunch of my neighbors had our tires slashed on our vehicles. We were so angry that someone would do that. I honestly wish we had this system back then so we would be able to see who did it.
I hope you feel much safer now!
We would love to have this since we live in the country and it gets REALLY dark outside! This would make me feel a lot safer since my husband works the night shift two weeks of every month.
It does get dark in the country. We used to live in the country too (loved it in so many ways!) and going in the yard w/o a light on was downright spooky (especially when there were reports of wolves in the area). Better safe than sorry! This product rocks.
I live in an apartment complex (the 7th floor) and supposedly our parking lot has security cameras. My car and several others have been vandalized more then once and those cameras they have in there now don’t really take clear pictures. It would be great if we could have these installed so at least some of us could be notified and call the proper authorities!
This is awesome. I think this would be perfect for our household.
I think it is important to have cameras. It gives peace of mind for sure.
We’ve had our Arlo system for several months now. It was super easy to install. I absolutely love it.
These cameras would be very handy. A little security like this would be great.
I like the considerate features. I will be in the market shortly, and I’ve bookmarked your page. Thank you for the product introduction!
This is a great system and really priced reasonably. I think it really can give you peace of mind to have a security camera system like this that helps you be aware of your surroundings and gives you a heads up if there are any issues.
With lots of news about break ins, one needs to have a good security system.
I’m sorry to hear about your car. Some kids can really be mean. We’re thinking of getting this soon. We need to upgrade our home security system.
This would be a product that would be great for my sisters. My one sister’s hubby is a Firefighter so he is away a lot and my other is in a very remote rural area.
I’ve seen these advertised a few times and love them. What a great way to keep an eye on things. Would be perfect for when you go out of town, etc.
I would love to install security cameras around the house. The piece of mind is worth the cost!
This is a really great deal! I love that there is a reasonably priced option to add some security around your home.
We’ve been researching – looking for the best system for us. As usual – you give great info!! Thanks!!
