The woman with the iPad said it all works fine on her Mac but again I have no first hand knowledge so I'm just assuming she was telling me the truth.

Actually I can revise that I would NOT have purchased Arlo if I had known I couldn't play the videos on my PC unless I downloaded them and lost the time stamp, etc. I'm not sure I would have gone with the Arlo if I had known all the hoops I'd have to jump through to play the videos on my PC. That was the deciding factor for me in buying the Arlo Pro 3 system was watching her on her iPad. This information has been linked to from several other users.Īlso, I don't know about Mac but I have seen a woman using an iPad to look at the videos from her monitors at home so maybe a Mac can't play the videos but I know for a fact that an iPad can. You say Safari doesn't support HEVC video but, although I don't have first hand knowledge, everything I read says Safari DOES support HEVC. I can't take a photo of the videos that I'm watching but I can take a screen shot and paste it into Word or similar software. In my opinion there are MANY advantages to doing it this way over downloading the videos to watch on VLC media player and one of the big items is the time stamp remains on the video using the Android Emulator.Īrlo was apparently made for a smart phone so the Android Emulator works better than the Arlo website on the PC for everything other than when it comes to deleting a large number of videos can only delete them one at a time.Īnother advantage is that I can leave the Arlo app open on my computer all day and all night and it never times out and the motion notifications from the cameras pop up in a little window at the lower right of my computer monitor whether the Arlo app is on top or not.

Video playback is not 100% because it's a bit jumpy at times but the point is that I can buzz through the videos quickly on a big monitor, I don't have to download them and all the information is still on them date, time, camera name, etc.

BlueStacks loads fine although it takes almost a minute to do it (so I just leave it loaded) and the Arlo mobile app works on my PC just like on my phone.

I went ahead and tried this and it works.
