Does the camera deliver real-time images? How many seconds does it take to see the image on a PC or smartphone?

When motion is detected, the message comes within a few seconds, but the video is only recorded when it is finished, which is about 30 seconds later, depending on the settings. Of course, you can also access the camera live, but the connection also takes 5-10 seconds and of course the image also has a few seconds delay, as it goes from the camera to the Netgear server and then back to the PC or smartphone.


Great device, but the sensitivity settings are a bit stupid and misleadingly labelled and the camera also records what is probably 24 hours, because the motion detection is based on image comparison and that probably runs on the Netgear server, i.e. privacy is strongly affected.

I installed this camera abroad with a very slow 5MB internet connection. With PC or smartphone app in 3G or 4G delay of live between 3-5 seconds. Extremely surprised how well this product works. Messages on the app, app settings, video recordings, all extremely easy. Support also extremely fast and competent. The 5th camera I've tested. Arlo is so far the best product for me who can live with the fact

that the videos are stored abroad.
