At the risk of bending a term, one wants transactions over the web to be "as atomic as possible".  You know what I mean. Say for something like a payment:  Client and server line everything up, then "wam commit with tiny data", "bam commit worked with tiny data b", and with proper feedback to user at each stage. What actually happens is that devtards create a sprawling, heavy mess with all sorts of back-and-forth.  It pulls in garbage from all directions.  When it's on a perfect internet connection, such as the devtard's dev box, it just about works, most of the time.  That's the level they get it to.  If there is the slightest connection glitch, packet loss, slowness, it just sort of fizzles out in undefined ways.  Maybe the thinger spins round for ever, or something just remains greyed out or doesn't load.  Occasionally some sort of error message will be produced.

You can't configure Arlo cams to communicate with your own server(s), so the cloud service is mandatory if you want them to work. Supposedly cameras come with a trial subscription to the cloud service.  This is in your "receipt or email".  I bought f...
