I haven't used this much yet. I only used it to make scrambled eggs once. So, far so good. :-)

Awesome product, but warning!

I love this product! BUT! Do not hire the Geek Squad to install it for you. Don't do it!!!
This is an AWESOME product. It works just as they say it will work, actually even better. The night vision indoors is amazing. It is totally wireless and the quality of the video is fantastic. What makes it even better is the wonderful customer service. I called customer support at Arlo to help me set up the camera system. The guy I talked to was Neil and he was FANTASTIC! He really took time to explain every step to me. He made it easy and fun to set it up.
I think I am so over joyed because at first I paid Geek Squad $249.00 to come to my house to set them up for me. I waited on the waiting list for 2 weeks (after purchasing the cameras) for the Geek Squad "professional installers" to come to my home because I wanted to make sure it was done correctly by the best people. My past experiences with Geek Squad and Best Buy have been AWESOME. Usually, I can trust that I will only be given the very best service when working with either a Geek Squad or Best Buy employee. But, this time was different.
From the moment the Geek Squad guys walked through my doors it was down hill from there.
As soon as the guys came in, the main Geek Squad guy said...
* "We can't install the cameras because you have a two story house we don't run wires up there".
-- I explained there were no wires to run. The camera system is completely wireless.
He kept mentioning upstairs so I had to firmly reassure him he would not be going upstairs.
--"You will not be going upstairs... for any reason... at all," I promised.
* "There are no systems that are completely wireless" (he replied).
-- I showed him the box where it says "100% wireless".
* The other guy took one out of the box and mentioned that the cameras run on batteries. The main guy then said, "Those batteries won't last long."
-- I explained my plan was to get some rechargeable batteries and a charger so I can just rotate them as needed.
* "You can't use rechargeable batteries on this camera", he replied.
-- "Um yes you can. I found this information on the Arlo website in the community forum," I responded.
* "Well, we don't set up the base station or DVR box and we can't show you how to use the software. The only thing we can do is put the nail in the wall and hang the camera on it, " He stated.
"Well, I am not willing to pay you $249.00 to put 4 nails in the wall which I can do myself (the 5th camera will sit on a shelf and needs no nail). So, I will let you guys get back to your office and I will be contacting Best Buy for a $249.00 refund," I said.

That was the end of that. I got my refund (with no problems from Best Buy), but for days I worried about how difficult it would be for me to set up the system on my own. Finally, I called Arlo customer support. It took Neil less than 10 minutes to talk me through setting up all the cameras and less than half that time to learn to use the software. I am so very happy with this product and the customer service I received from Arlo. I would highly recommend this product to my friends and family.

This little gizmo changed my life. Now, I surf the web right on my TV without having to go downstairs to my desktop. I can check emails and even write reviews like this one using my TV as a monitor. And when combined with my wireless mouse and keyboard I am in heaven. No more running up and down the stairs to get to my desktop. Thank goodness for the Best Buy Staff who recommended this product. It has changed my life. I love it.
What's great about it: Changed my life.

I love this wireless keyboard and mouse. I purchased it about a month ago to use with the VGA cord to connect my laptop to the 32" TV. It works perfectly. At first I couldn't understand how it would work. It was so easy. Just plug in the included adapter to the laptop. Then plug in the VGA cord to the TV (I could have used a wireless connection if my laptop was not so old... but, it is a very old one and it required a cord connection). Then just I just used the Cox Cable remote to choose the VGA setting and there was my laptop in all it's glory right on the TV. Basically, it converts the TV and turns it into a really large monitor, which is all I needed in the first place. I love it. Great for playing casual games!
What's great about it: Easy to set up.

The mounts
with the mounts are there any sticky tab things instead of nailing it in to walls?
I hear you can buy double sided tape that supports 30 pounds weight. The cameras even with the batteries are way lighter than that... maybe 1 or 2 pounds. But, I would not be comfortable with tape. Tape can peal and just come off because it gets wet or something. Just a thought. I have thought of putting one inside my window to point outside. I am not sure how well that would work so I MAY try it with the sticky tape. If I do I will let you know how well it sticks.
