仅对奥尔罗(3 g / 4 g lte移动HD Camera)

如今，许多消费者比以往任何时候都更加认真地对待他们的家庭保安。当您考虑我们生活在技术时代的事实时，这是有道理的。我们当中有多少人在家有笔记本电脑？平板电脑？在几乎每个美国房屋中，犯罪分子几乎都有如此宝贵且易于翻转的物品，因此有一些主要动力来进行快速粉碎和抢劫。

But just as technology can attract crime, it can also prevent it. With several affordable home security cameras on the market, there is very little excuse to not have your home protected. We’ve been fans of Arlo ever since the Arlo Pro came out. Now that their latest version of this best-selling camera system, the Arlo Go, has hit the market, we had to take the opportunity to test it out for ourselves.

First Look

所以，到底是什么Arlo Go？如果您只是看照片，您可能会认为这只是Arlo Pro的重新版本。在许多方面，您是对的。相机位于同一条线上，并且具有许多相同的组件。阿洛（Arlo）的始终如一的样式意味着，即使您已经在房子里拥有他们的摄像头之一，他们的最新版本也不会看起来不合适。

But there is one truly unique thing about the Arlo Go. Instead of using WiFi like most cameras on the market, the Go connects to the 3G cellular network allowing you to get coverage in areas where you don’t have access to WiFi. This is the first time we’ve seen such a feature in a security camera, so we were excited to try it out.

Design

Arlo Go是一款令人难以置信的紧凑型相机，完美体现了品牌的阶梯。圆形的白色盒子是由光滑的白色塑料制成的，其重量有些重，并且前端涂有光滑的黑色塑料，使混合物增加了一些对比。

尽管该设备的形状有些圆形，但整个设备不比您的手掌大。使用随附的坐骑将其塞在某个地方的角落非常容易，并且不会脱颖而出。

Overall, “clean” is the word that we’d use to describe the Arlo Go. Other than a small button on the top that is used to sync the Arlo with the base station, there is very little to mark up the exterior of this camera. But this doesn’t mean that the camera is stripped of its controls. It just means that all of the controls have been moved to the palm of your hand.

Application

Once we’d placed our Arlo Go in an area we wanted to secure, we fired up the free app to see what it could do. The first thing that we noticed is that the app has a very nice layout. Each of the built in menus are simple and serve a purpose. Navigation between screens was obvious. We didn’t have to spend a lot of time familiarizing ourselves with it.

On the main Screen we saw two live video feeds. One from our new Arlo, and one from the one we already had. You can tap the video feeds to blow them up to fullscreen size. Below each display, you see several indicators including sound, motion detected, whether night vision is active, and a gear icon. Tapping the gear brings up the settings panel where you can change notification settings and set sensitivity options.

我们喜欢的一件事是，设置与视频供稿混合在一起。在我们的一个供稿中，我们注意到运动传感器是活跃的，因为我们的狗在框架中。仅需两个快速点击即可降低灵敏度，然后我们可以立即看到我们的狗不再触发运动传感器。只需两个快速的水龙头，我们就可以将自己摆脱可能导致许多不必要的通知的故障。

连接性

The Arlo Go is backwards compatible with all of the same connectivity options as the previous models. If you already have the Arlo base, your camera will talk to it over their unique long range 2.4 Ghz network. You can also connect it to your existing WiFi if you like.

But what makes the Arlo Go unique is the inclusion of AT&T’s LTE interface. Basically, the camera has its own cellular connection so you can get a signal anywhere in the world.

尽管这项技术,我们还没t come across a cellular camera before, and for good reason. The main concern is data use. If you’re streaming live video all day long, the camera can easily use 10GB of data per month. This doesn’t come cheap. Arlo’s workaround to this problem is their unique triggering system. The camera will only transmit video data if there is something going on in the frame. Nobody wants to sift through 10 hours of the front of their home. But with the motion sensing option, it will only record and upload parts of the video where there is activity.

Once we’d left the Arlo out all night, we reviewed our footage from the previous evening. We saw a few people walk by our house, and one car pulled into our driveway to turn around. The total data use was around 15 megabytes. This means that your mobile data can be quite affordable, making the camera a worthy buy.

Another way Arlo helps you save data is by including an SD card slot. You can inexpensively throw in 32 gigabytes of storage, so that if the camera is every out of range you can still have a copy of your video saved.

视频Quality

ARLO GO中使用的图像传感器与Arlo Pro中的图像传感器相同。这意味着我们在Arlo Pro评论中深入讨论的具有相同的出色图像质量。简短而甜美的是，Arlo Go是我们使用过的最漂亮的家庭安全摄像头之一。该视频令人难以置信，甚至可以轻松地捕捉到最小的细节。颜色有点柔和，但是它的高动态范围意味着您不必担心您的视频被明亮的阳光或光明的房间破坏。

耐用性

The Arlo Go is designed to be used both inside and out. It’s IP65 rated, which means that it’s completely sealed from the elements. Even when exposed to rain, snow, dirt, or the blistering summer sun, the camera putters away completely uninhibited.

他们从Arlo Pro升级的一件事是电池。我们对原件印象深刻，因为它一次充电了几个月的电池寿命。但是一些用户报告说，在非常寒冷的气候下，电池寿命降低到大约30天。如果您居住在温度定期降至20摄氏度以下的地方，您会很高兴知道这种新电池是为了处理寒冷的。

Disadvantages

While the inclusion of cellular data will be a benefit to many, it does come with a few downsides. The first, and most obvious, is the fact that you’ll have to pay for a monthly subscription. But if you already have a plan with AT&T, you might be able to get a better deal by sharing the data with your mobile phone.

The only other thing we noticed was streaming quality. Arlo tried hard to prevent this camera from being a data hog. This means that when you are live streaming, the video is more heavily compressed than the Pro. This can introduce artifacts or graininess. The full quality video is still available on Arlo’s servers (if you use their could service) or on your SD card, but it’s something to keep in mind.

Final Verdict

Whether this is your first Arlo camera or something you’d like to add to an existing system, theArlo Gois a unique product that doesn’t tether you down to a local WiFi connection. This makes it the ideal choice for use in businesses, construction sites, remote areas, or even that tricky corner of your house where you just can’t get a signal.

As we’ve covered in ourArlo Pro评论，相机上的视频和声音质量非常出色，制作得很好，很明显，阿洛花了一些时间思考消费者可能想要使用相机的所有方式。但是，如果您对蜂窝连接不感兴趣，那么您仍然可以使用Arlo Pro获得相同的出色系统。但是，如果蜂窝数据对您很重要，那么ARLO GO是您唯一合理的选择之一。
