At least one reviewer highlights that key controls and clip access can also be handled via Arlo's web portal, which is handy for monitoring from a computer in addition to the mobile app.
A web portal is available and mirrors most NVR functions, including playback. Some reviewers found it less efficient than local viewing and mentioned periodic re-logins and limited layout customization.
TV/monitor viewing via the hub exists but is described as clunky by some, including login friction and limited layouts; for most users, the phone app remains the primary viewing method.
Several reviews note the experience is app-centric with limited or no desktop web portal for the newer cameras, and some miss computer viewing and timelapse-style navigation.
