Go package for interacting with Netgear's Arlo camera system.
I love Go. That is why I decided to write this library! I am the creator of the first arlo library written in Python.
My goal is to bring parity to the Python version asap. If you know what you're doing in Go, I would appreciate any feedback on the general structure of the library, bugs found, contributions, etc.
It is by no means complete, although it does expose quite a bit of the Arlo interface in an easy to use Go pacakge. As such, this package does not come with unit tests (feel free to add them, or I will eventually) or guarantees. All contributions are welcome and appreciated!
Please, feel free to contribute to this repo or buy Jeff a beer!
