Thanks for the recap as it saves me the research. While happy with my Arlo Pro 2 system overall (completely wireless!!!), less than expected battery life and slower than desirable response times lead me to believe that buying the older versions is not worth it no matter the cost. Someone prove to me otherwise as there is some local stock.
Just due to the costs for the batteries and the lag issues for the Arlo gen-1 I would skip it.
The only thing that the Arlo gen-1 was better imho than the Arlo Pro was a narrow FOV which give it a slightly better ID distance.
Still not by very much due to the 720P resolution.
The Arlo Pro 2 is better, thanks to the 1080P resolution.
( in theory, given 100% effective pixels - compression of course reduces this )

Cheap != value
Having used the Arlo system for over 6 months, I can say they failed as security cameras ( see my notes in the wiki of the link above on ID distance if you want to see why I state this ).
Yes, cheapest outdoor rated battery operated camera... however, without rechargeable batteries in the kit the value is not really imho that good considering the faults of this model.
Unless you're already sold on the Arlo gen-1 cameras and the Arlo system, I would recommend avoiding them.
