Connectivity options

Connectivity is a major strength of the G5 Pro, with models offering either Wi Fi and USB C power or PoE Ethernet plus dual band 2.4/5GHz support and broader compatibility with Thread, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and RTSP, making it far more flexible than most single protocol security cameras.

Reviewers emphasize that the Arlo Go 2’s combination of LTE and Wi-Fi makes it unusually flexible for remote monitoring, letting it fall back on cellular service when Wi-Fi is unavailable and prefer Wi-Fi when in range to conserve data.

Owners report that the camera’s Wi Fi connection, now supporting Wi Fi 6, is easy to join to home networks and stays stable over typical 10–20 metre distances, providing reliable wireless connectivity without needing Ethernet.

The system currently supports only Eufy PoE wired cameras in a closed ecosystem, delivering fast, stable links for serious installations but preventing owners from adding existing Wi Fi Eufy models or third party cameras until a planned wireless module is released.

Reviewers appreciate the S3 Pro’s simple Wi-Fi setup but note that the system lacks cellular or wired backup, so recording stops if home internet or Eufy’s servers go down, limiting connectivity options for more demanding security use cases.
