DEFICIENT

Winnowl Index

Winnowl Verdict

We just finished the audit on the Arlo Go 2 Wireless Cellular Security Camera and it landed a DEFICIENT (49) Winnowl Index, which is a score that unfortunately reflects more "brand" than "benefit" when you compare the high price to the average specs. This one hits the Mediocre Performance and Weak Value marks, but because it's from a brand with Strong Brand Strength, you have to decide if the reputation is worth the extra cost. With the Arlo Go 2 Wireless Cellular Security Camera 1080p, Outdoor, Rechargable Battery, 2-Way Audio, you'll likely notice you should be able to see clearly across a standard suburban driveway or front lawn in total darkness since the Night Vision Range is only 25 ft—that's actually 63% below what we usually see from the competition. You might want to do a hard pivot from this Brand Tax product because the 38% higher price tag results in 38% less hardware for your dollar than the class average—there are definitely better ways to spend your money.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag: the Storage Capacity indicates you should be able to store months of motion events locally, providing a deep digital paper trail without any ongoing costs, but you may find that the 25 ft Night Vision Range means that you should be able to see clearly across a standard suburban driveway or front lawn in total darkness—so just make sure that's a trade-off you're okay with.
