I read about Arlo in a site that reviewed multiple security cameras. Do you use Conico? I want a camera tied to a DVR, that I can replay over the Internet without a monthly fee.
I think there is a way to do that but it isn't that kind of settup out of the box. The house I lived in a few years ago had a system like that that my landlord just left with me because she hated the neighbors. I think you can find a 4 camera system with the DVR for under 400 now and I will go that route when I buy my own next year (hopefully) I don't have personal knowledge on the shopping those yet though.
But on the Conico, it records it all to the SD. And you can either take it out to play it or connect to the camera through your router if its the internet itself that is the problem. Its not stored to a cloud unless you pay for a service like that.
