Home security made easy? There's more to Netgear than routers and switches. The California-based outfit may be best known for producing business-grade networking hardware, but it has used that experience to create Arlo, a relatively new name that is well positioned to become a mainstay in the smart home of today and tomorrow.

Since December 2014, nearly nine million Arlo devices are said to have been shipped worldwide, and the success has culminated in Arlo being spun-off as a public company trading on NYSE.

To see how the product performs, we have the latest-generation Arlo Pro 2 in for review today.
