I have been wanting a security system, but thinking of affording a good one was not in my budget since we’re remodeling the house and the children are always needing something, especially my nine year old fourth grader. There’s always something that he needs for school. That’s why I was ecstatic when I was selected to review the NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home Indoor/Outdoor Wireless High-Definition Security Cameras (4-Pack) ($499.99) and the NETGEAR Nighthawk DST AC1900 Wireless-AC Gigabit Router with DST Adapter ($299.99). Both products are exclusively sold at Best Buy.
Everything was an effortless breeze to install since my moms fiancé is a carpenter. He’s meticulous with carpentry, electrical and plumbing. Therefore, the task came easy for him.
I’ve always wanted to feel safe when I enter into my house, but I also want to feel that our valuables are safe from thieves. This time of the year, during the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations, it is so important to think about security. I like securing our home during and after the holidays. Now, all entry points after guests depart will be secured by the cameras to keep our family and valuables safe. The NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home Indoor/Outdoor Wireless High-Definition Security Cameras give us the peace of mind that we need.
I know that we can always let our neighbor know if we are just away, whether we’re out of town or on vacation so they can keep an eye on our home. We can also stop mail delivery and add timers to our indoor lights, but the security camera system makes me feel more secure. We can now keep an eye on our place from anywhere, anytime with the smart home security system. I feel even more safer since we can keep tabs on our home front from any internet-connected computer or smartphone!

It’s so nice to know that there are affordable options. It’s definitely a must.
I need this in my life. I love the Dead Spot Terminator feature. The router I am using right now doesn’t have this and we have a few dead spots inside the house.
I think this is an awesome security system. I would love to have one of these in my house.
This sounds like a great system. I love that it’s indoor/outdoor. Most systems like this can’t be used outside.

I think this seems like a great system. It’s nice to know there are affordable home security options that you can install yourself. It has often seemed out of reach but this is great!
We need a new system in our new home. We are on the market to see what is out there. I will check into this one further, it looks like a great option.

That is a great looking security camera. I love how sleek and tiny it is! It would be great to have one of these around to protect my house!

I really like the idea of a security system. Those cameras look great, and easy to setup. The only thing that makes me nervous is that if the security on the Wireless system isn’t setup properly, other people can tap into it. I read where a man remotely got into a family baby monitoring system and started watching the baby and talking to it from his remote computer. Freaky.

This looks like a wonderful option for home security. Netgear has always put out some amazing products and this looks like just another product worth getting. Thank you for sharing your honest review of it with us.
We also use a home security system to keep our house safe. It’s a great way to protect our family 🙂

This is really cool! I’ll have to check into it for my house!
I think we are pretty safe, we live in a gated neighborhood, but I would love to have this to capture my neighbor blowing her leaves in our driveway!

Just like you, I can’t afford a good security system either. I would love to have one of these!

That looks like a really nice system. I would love to have this one. I’ve always wanted a security system like this. I think they’d be nice to have around in case something ever happened.
having a security system means everything to me. i really dont think i could ever go back to not having one. we only pay $40 a month which long-term is a lot but so worth it.
What a sleek looking camera and I love all the features. We really need to have a security camera here. Soon!

I would feel so secure with a system like this. I am always paranoid when i am upstairs and i hear noises. I will have to look at getting this for my house.
This looks like a system we could really use. The picture looks super clear and nice too I’ve seen these, and I would love to get them.
This is amazing! It’s so nice to know that I can get additional security without breaking the bank!

This looks great for my little home! Love that its afforadable as well.
I do love the idea of checking on my home while away with my smartphone. We use a home security system and are looking into cameras, thank for posting!

These cameras looks so sleek! We recently installed a home security system but we don’t have cameras. I would love to add cameras!

I’ll be looking into home security soon. I’m searching around and soaking up all the information I can.
This camera set sounds pretty fabulous!!! You can never be too safe!
Wow! That looks like an amazing security system, sort of like for really rich and famous people with cameras and everything. Ours isn’t so fancy, although at this price, it almost makes me want to switch!

That was my problem too, I thought it was so expensive! My husband thinks we need one for our home but we still haven’t decided. I’ll tell him about the features of Arlo. We might consider getting this.
