What's better, Arlo or Eufy?
My main concern is local storage versus cloud subscriptions. I want to avoid monthly fees as much as possible, but I also need reliable recording, especially if the power goes out. Any thoughts on which system handles this better? Also, I have a pretty large yard, so range is a factor.

Eufy wins on local storage; most models record directly to a base station. Arlo mostly relies on cloud subscriptions, though some models offer local backup with a microSD card (sold separately) connected to the base station. For large yards, check the specs for the stated range, but both brands often need range extenders depending on the obstructions.

Eufy wins for local storage since it's built into the base station. Arlo mostly pushes cloud subscriptions, though some models have SD card slots. Regarding cold weather performance, lithium batteries in both systems suffer, but Eufy seems to have slightly better temperature management based on user reports. Look into getting battery packs for either one, and bringing them inside during the worst weather might be necessary.
