However, I do not like that there is a delay of video capturing triggered by motion. There is at least a 2 second delay to these to start capturing. If the object in video is moving at a fast speed or turns a corner outside of the viewing angle, chances are that the Arlo will not capture the "moment" of things happening. The Arlo does pick up motion pretty well, so if you have a long hallway or driveway, it'll detect motion and start recording once the target is in your hallway, not entering. For that reason, I'm returning and looking for an installer to install a NVR/PoE system.
FYI - the ability to capture license plates during the day so that you're able read them depends on how many effective pixels you can get on the license plate. While higher resolution is better for this - remember it is effective pixels on target.
The 4K cameras from Arlo have very wide FOVs, which reduces the "range" - and with compression to reduce cloud storage and bandwidth you get less effective pixels.
For a better idea of how FOV camera resolution affects the theoretical ID distance ( and also license plate reading ability ) see the ID distance chart in

Also - night time license plate capture is challenging due to the reflective nature of plates - so you will need to custom tune the camera to just capture plates to read. ( see ipcamtalk lpr section for more info on this )

Plenty of known issues that made it a deal breaker for me. 3 sets and several hours with tech support about them denying clearly known and reported issues and I returnee it for a Nest and never looked back.
"Smart" notifications are anything but. You'll run into a glitch where you'll get notifications for everything, no matter what you set for filters.
Despite having sensitivity adjustments on motion detection and customization to block our detection in certain areas... none of it works; followed every instruction to the letter from them too. You either get motion detection for every car that passes and your battery drains in a week or you get no detection. I found the break point and one tick up or down on sensitivity yields one or the other.
I'm sure there are some situations where this works out... eg: works well in my backyard where there's nornally no motion, but don't say I didn't warn you.
This is, no exaggeration, THE BUGGIEST software I've dealt with in my life, for anything I've ever used. I never had a more frustrating experience over 3 returns/replacements. Complete waste of time. There's a reason Nest is more expensive.
