- BEST DEAL ON ARLO ULTRA: amzn.to/3cyoAUp
GOOGLE CAM: amzn.to/3nBK6Ov
Battery powered wireless security cameras have come a long way. In this video I test the cream of the crop - The brand new Google Nest Cam (outdoor or indoor, battery) 1080p HD vs the Arlo Ultra 2 -
4K camera. If these or any wifi security cameras are on your shopping list this holiday season, make sure you watch!
#KiteArmy 2021 2022
I have the Arlo 4k Ultra cams and love them. I did the solar panels on all the cameras so no need to charge. Great video as always
Arlo Ultras are definitely the unsung hero - I might have to consider the solar panels. Actually I just got a camera sent to me that has the panels built right into the camera. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Until it snows or it's cloudy outside lol
@@shanew7361 As long as your camera isn't super active, you'll be totally fine. Unless its like 2 weeks of no sun, but still, cloudy or snow, there's still some sunlight.
Great job teaching us about "resolution" and seeing the difference from one to another. The bow and arrow part was awesome.
thanks mate - good to hear from you
It’s not just about resolution, you have to take the focal length of the camera lens into consideration too.
My problem with arlo is, when it is connected with power, it starts recording from 4 seconds before the event. When on solar or no power, it only starts recording when the motion is detected. Many a times, it is very helpful to see the event right before when it triggered the motion for better context. Something I was looking for in comparison but never found anyone talking about it in any videos.
Yea the lag between the event occurring and actually seeing it is a joke. Did you find an ecosystem, camera that works?
@@shanew7361 Finally settled with Lorex NVR wired cameras over POE. I am liking them so far. It's a peace of mind of not paying those monthly subscription $$.
@@miralpatel2877 Debating on getting 2-4 cameras. I need one for the front and back yard. Front of house faces north, south side gets back sun exposure. However, I live in MI and it gets -30F in the winter and no sun. I have outlets outside. Suggestions on a brand or brands that would work for my concerns. No lag between movements, leaves blowing creating false alerts, sunlight making the camera unable to see. I'd prefer not drilling holes through my home or walls but ideally no batteries to change outside etc.
@@shanew7361 For any wireless cameras, you are looking to pay monthly fees to reduce false alerts. I lived through that with Arlo Pro 3 last whole year. Reolink and Lorex are leading in the industry for PoE wired home surveillance. Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestion for you for your needs without drilling your exterior walls.
@@miralpatel2877 Yea what I figured. I just ordered the Ring Spotlight Cam Solar, rechargeable battery pack and gutter mounts. $646 lol hopefully this stuff works. I'll likely need to have a subscription too.
Is true that after April 8 2024 the nest cam cameras won’t work.
This video really simplified which camera is better for me. Missing your high energy. It seems super focused instead. Nice shots with the bow!
Thanks mate - bullseye
Arlo is sunsetting my current cameras (Arlo Q and Arlo Pro battery w base station) and won’t get security updates, push notifications, or ability to record. They also don’t guarantee the camera will continue to work. This convinced me to go Google. Thanks!
Can you please post on how they compare with respect to motion capture, do they have any false alerts and do they have any monthly fees?
I feel that the Arlo was slightly better than the Nest
The only thing about nest cameras is the battery is internal? The arlo and ring cameras have pop in pop out batteries. Easy if you ask me. Not sure what the procedure is for battery removal of the nest cameras. It looked like the batteries that cordless landline phones use to have. Oh and also you gotta remove the whole entire camera to charge the battery for nest cameras.
I just purchased the google camera because of the expandable options.I have the google nest thermostat,Google hub and nest speakers.Also the google camera does face recognition.If it’s someone who comes over often it will tell you your mom or neighbor is at the front door. I also like the fact that google doesn’t use a traditional light to record so no one sees it when it comes on at night time.
most of them now let you turn off the light
@@Kitearmy Both are great products.
That 1080p wireless camera won't be able to record all day long. It have to be Arlo Ultra with optional CVR feature and continuous power supply.
Unfortunately Arlo performance sucks. It’s motion detection is pretty terrible and the lag when you try to load a video or live stream is god awful. I’ve ran Arlo for the past few years and ordered the newest set and sent it right back. Went with the Nest because it actually works. Picture isn’t quite as good but its fine for detecting trespassers and whatever else.
Oa ma new here great review what was the motion distance alert for the arlo and did you loke the only 2k effect s40 camera better for the length of your back yard?
I loved my arlo cameras they worked great until I switched internet provider then i couldn't get them to connect to the wifi. So after trying 2 sets and the same problem i gave up on arlo
It looks as if the nest is crisper but I know the arlo footage was compressed to 1080. I’m having the hardest time deciding. Wish I could get both and compare but I’m trying to order today bc if cyber Monday
I'm going with Nest but I'm going for the annual subscription for 24/7 recording
@@Kitearmy was the only deciding factor was the 24/7 recording?
@@leeyoungsb75 yeah - best level of security
What did you end up going with? Any issues?
Amazing job brotha, thank you so much for sharing this with us!
My pleasure!!
some people are saying the Nest camera battery does not do well in cold weather or rain. That's one thing to consider
Right
I want a CSI camera. Where I can zoom in half a mile, without losing any quality.
Yeah - you have to go to Hollywood for those
Thank you for the video! It is very helpful
4k is no good if your cameras don't trigger I am selling my arlo ultra 4k as to record in 4k you need to pay a hefty subscription £8.99 then if you want 24/7 cvr plan another 12.99 and it Drops resolution to 2k . The 4k claim is rubbish on my arlo ultra can't even read number plates . I can get 24/7 recording on my Google doorbell and as many cameras as I like all in for £9.99 and it saves 60 days of footage unlike arlo 12.99 for 14 days and 19.99 for 30 days on 1 camera !!!!
Missed so many events like people stood in front of the camera not even picked them up in broad daylight rubbish and very slow app
Really like the video quality comparison. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Arlo ultra 2 can’t record in 4K, so it’s very wrong to claim that it is 4K camera👎🏻 it’s only live 4K is posible and that’s not every time. Im not impressed at all👎🏻
There is a lot more to the story than just how the cameras look. The difference in field of view is not really dependent on resolution . There are 4K cameras that have very narrow field of view, there are 1080 camera's with wider fields of view. Unfortunately this video is a bit misleading and misses a lot of information, such as sensitivity, how many events are missed or how many false positives and the all important battery life. If you have a battery camera up in that slightly awkward spot, you don't want to be up there every 2 weeks charging it. The big thing is, however, resolution and FOV (field of view) are completely different things.
Right
Great video…. Thanks!!!
Glad to help!
What about "ring" brand, how does that compare to these 2 brands? Because on best buy Canada, the "ring" has thousands of reviews, compared to the other 2 competitors you're showing with a few hundred reviews.
MAGNETS ????? WTF. SO wind or someone can just easily pull them off wtf.
Do they record audio ?
These are premium grade and Ring is entry level
Why not test the google nest cam iQ outdoor? It has 12x zoom (instead of 8x) and enhanced zoom with 4K. It’s in the same price range as the arlo ultra 2. The view range is still only 130 degrees instead of 180 (arlo). And the video is 180, not 4K (arlo). But the zoom and features are much much better.
A base station (arlo) does complicate things.
you can't get the nest iq cameras anymore unless you get a second mortgage on your house. The first gen nest camera and nest iq camera are 100 times better than the new nest camera *also the new nest camera doesn't work with the nest app and using Google home is total garbage
I believe the image quality was very close to the same on each one, during the day, although the Arlo had color at night, for better quality. Not by much though.
I agree - I think the width was important to consider though
i wish you would have uploaded at 2k and 4k because im watching on a 2k screen and with both looking at a 1080 resolution it almost looks the same can you redo this please?
It looks close to what you get
The new Nest Cam Outdoor absolutely suck if you use battery, now if you plug them in then they're excellent cameras.
battery life is not so good
@@Kitearmy If it's in high traffic areas.
No, its not about resolution. Its about consistency and latency in receiving alerts. If I am not alerted of a human detection within a few seconds of an intrusion, or not alerted at all, that camera is useless.
as well
ty
Sure
Here is a comment down below.
Here is a comment below your comment
Arlo definitely a better picture
yes sir
bruh why no one ever test the wifi range on any of these wifi cameras? damn like its the first thing people want to know which has longer range
good suggestion
@@Kitearmy can you please test this now if ur at home and let me know? as i’m currently trying to order one. just hold the camera and walk until you see the livestream get laggy or disconnect
I like your point
I use eufy solo cams on deer feeders that are 200 to 300 yards from the Hughes net wifi in my kitchen
They work great at that distance
I have 3 of the 4g eufy battery cameras set up 40 miles away and they are great . I get 2 gig of data for $10 a month on the eiot club SIM cards
I got an arlo go 2 cellular and wifi camera just to compare to the eufy
So far it seems good and has strong battery life that can be recharged by solar same as the eufy cameras
A big difference is on the arlo you have to sign up for the 4.99 a month program to get full benefits of cameras
I have several cellular trail cameras there data plans are 12 to 15 a month and do not transfer video clips and don’t allow live view . The Trail cameras will triggerat up to 100 feet.
The eufy and arlo seem to max trigger at about 60 feet.
It's weird he glazed over the fact that the Arlo has a micro SD slot that allows local storage and the nest c requires a subscription.
Also no mention of battery life.
It's not ALL about resolution
Arlo has the worst support. Don’t buy
I still prefer Google
