If you want wire-free home security cameras and you don’t want to cough up the cash for Arlo cameras, the Blink XT Home Security Camera System is really the only option you should even bother considering. In fact, even if you are willing to pay premium prices for Alro cameras, Blink cams are still better in many ways. They do pretty much everything Arlo cameras do, but they have battery life that lasts for up to two years instead of just two or three months!
