Arlo Pro cameras run on included rechargeable batteries. According to user reviews, the batteries last about two months but can vary based on settings, use, and weather.

There are two ways to recharge the batteries. With no additional purchases, remove the camera from its mount and bring it inside to plug in for charging with an included AC adapter. You can also buy a

spare rechargeable Arlo Pro -compatible battery

and an

Arlo battery charger

 and swap out depleted batteries with a freshly charged set without removing the camera from its mount.

Arlo has more expensive security cameras with higher resolution video, but the Arlo Pro’s HD video 130-degree wide range of view is a reasonable compromise for many homeowners. The camera uses infrared sensors for night vision for 24/7 operation. The cameras also have 2-way audio so you can talk to visitors and delivery people.

The base station, which is required for the cameras to operate, installs inside connected to your network router. The has an integrated 100+ decibel siren. In addition to Arlo cloud storage, you can plug in external USB storage for local backup.

In addition to free seven-day video clip storage and viewing, the Arlo Smart app has optional service levels for more extended storage and emergency responder contact.

The Arlo Pro 3-camera system includes three wire-free HD cameras with two-way audio, rechargeable lithium metal batteries for each camera, one camera power adapter and cable, an Arlo base station with built-in siren, three camera wall mounts, an Ethernet cable to connect the base station to your router, a quick start guide, and a window decal.

Ring's catalog is growing a bit larger this month with the arrival of the Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam on May 30. This marks the first time the company has released an integrated pan-tilt camera, and for shoppers seeking a device that can capture all corners of their room, it should be an enticing option.

Using the Ring app, you can control the viewing angle of the Pan-Tilt Cam remotely. Its motorized base can swivel up or down and pan left or right, allowing you to move the camera as you see fit. That allows for 360-degree horizontal coverage and 169-degree vertical tilt coverage. Ring says it designed the camera to deal with a variety of common situations experienced by its customers -- such as scanning a living room to check on a pet or attempting to monitor multiple doorways and windows throughout the home.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
