May 24, 2017No and no, at least not publicly.
They do have some integrations. Smartthings will show streaming video in their app, for example, and allows basic control and integration of motion detection functions. IFTTT also supports Arlo, but not for video.
We will actually ad a section on this for clarity, thanks.

May 24, 2017I have a few customers with private driveways secured by a gate with a keypad gate control device, who've asked for some type of camera system at the gate. These gate controls have no wiring back to the home and merely have electrical power at the gate to operate the gate and the keypad access controller. I see this as a possible solution without running additional wiring, or trying to get a Wifi signal through a forest of trees.

May 24, 2017I love the ghillie suit camo, almost makes me want to order one just for that.

May 24, 2017Does Arlo support edge recording, i.e. recording on a SD or micro-SD card on board ?
Thanks
John Scanlan
May 24, 2017It does support Micro SD. We show the card slot in the physical overview video at the 1 minute mark.

May 25, 2017A friend of mine ordered one for streaming his kids sports games while away on business. This has proven to be a valid use for this product. Worth the recurring cost for this use case.

May 25, 2017related: We were at a baseball tournament for one of my sons recently and the facility had HiCast Sports Network setup. A camera behind home plate:
a mobile app to select your venue and which field at that venue you would like to view:

May 30, 2017I'd watch the battery life on these. I know that the report showed good remaining power after several days of testing but watch out. I've tested the other units in their line-up and anywhere with regular motion throughout the day (say a more typical security camera placement) will kill the batteries on these guys within a couple of days to a week.
I think the big takeaway for me is that these could be used for 'hot spots' or temp usage but don't really fit into commercial use cases.
John Scanlan
May 31, 2017Chris - I am not sure we can compare the battery life of other Arlo cameras with this one.
Their other products use 4 consumable / disposable 3V DC123 lithium batteries. We have the original batteries installed from from the initial test in February of 2016. The camera has not been constant use, but was used in several other tests since then.
The Arlo Go uses 3660 mAh rechargeable battery block. It's been running for about 2 weeks and have 76% battery life remaining.

May 31, 2017I should have clarified I was comparing to the pro line which does have a similar internal rechargeable Li-ion battery. I am sure they have up sized it due to the cell radio but even the best cell radio is going to draw at least a watt or two transmitting. I'd guess it has a similar life expectancy but we shall just have to wait and see. Some of this can also be seen in the comments for the pro series on Amazon.
