About Arlo Home Security System - Wired Keypad Sensor Hub, (5) 8-in-1 Sensors
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
63% were impressed with alert accuracy, however 37% weren't
I faced a false alarm while vacuuming and the alarm system mistook it for a carbon monoxide alarm, indicating negative feedback on the alert accuracy feature of DIY home security systems.
I faced a false fire alarm and the caller was panicking, indicating negative feedback on the alert accuracy feature of DIY home security systems.
I find that the system frequently arms itself and the alarm sound is ear piercing.
70% appreciated the customization options, yet 30% didn't
I noticed that the app has changed from a camera monitoring app to an alarm system app with 3 hard coded modes (Standby, Arm Home, Arm Away). The system is always in one of those modes, and you have to set up all your camera actions, notifications, and recordings for each device in EACH MODE! This expresses my negative feedback regarding the customization options of diy-home-security-systems.
83% found the installation easy
The installation process of the security system was quick and simple. The keypad hub uses an outlet and I followed the connection instructions on the app. The sensors were also easy to install. The kit comes with screws and a mount for certain areas that was not ideal for the adhesive (although the adhesive is pretty strong).
