Arlo
Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Wireless 2K Outdoor Security Camera
₹18,990

Full details →Who the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Wireless 2K Outdoor Security Camera is for
Buy it if: Anyone needing genuine outdoor mounting with colour night footage, who accepts a subscription.
Avoid it if: Anyone unwilling to pay monthly -- unsubscribed, this records nothing.
Who the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 mmWave Multi-Zone Occupancy Sensor is for
Buy it if: Anyone whose lights keep switching off on a person sitting still, and anyone wanting room-level presence rather than motion.
Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a battery sensor -- this needs permanent USB power -- and anyone on a tight budget, where a PIR does most of the job.
