Good camera
I chose this baby camera to monitor my new grandkids. I liked that it had camera, night light, music and voice all in one. It was easy to set up and the picture is great. All the features work well. My only complaint is I thought this was wireless like the other Arlo cameras and it is but the charge only last a few hours so it really must be plugged in

Awesome product! Great picture!
My wife had spent months comparing baby monitor products including purchasing some and then having to return them due to poor performance or performance that does not match the stated specifications. We wanted true HD picture quality with temperature and humidity sensors. The air quality sensor is just an added bonus on this product. We finally settled on the Arlo baby and couldn’t be happier. This product is great once you set it up correctly. Those complaining about video delay are experiencing issues due to the out-of-the-box default configuration, which takes videos whenever an alert is triggered. The alerts begin to overlap thus causing persistent video upload to the Arlo cloud and then consuming much of your upload bandwidth and processing overhead in the monitor. If you configure the product for geofencing or alert schedules and then reduce the length of videos per alert (or change it to photo capture), there are no issues whatsoever. We are so pleased with the product that we are planning on buying another when our 2nd child is born and a set of the indoor/outdoor cameras as well.

Excellent features
I previously had used arlo cameras and likes the alert features for sound and motion. The Arlo baby has additional features including a "cry alert" - I think this differs from the regular audio alert based on level of audio detected since crying is typically louder than a little fussing or general sounds. The camera is completely stationary, so if you are looking for something to pan and tilt remotely, this would not be a good option. Also, unlike the other arlo cameras, the arlo baby cannot run on only battery for an extended amount of time, it is meant to be plugged in at all times which is mildly annoying when considering a location to mount it. Overall the product works well and I would definitely recommend its use.

Multiple Disconnects
This started out as a amazing product with great images and video quality including nighttime. The good things about this device are 2 way audio communication, light on the back as a night light, plays music, and the internal battery to take the device with you. Here is where is goes down hill. As a baby monitor you would expect this device to be great at monitoring your baby. Well, we have experienced continuous disconnects from our devices, had to factory reset it including each app on all of our devices more then 3 times since we have started using it in August. Have had 3 support calls with Netgear to resolve the issues. The last call 2 weeks ago, my wife's account was not connecting at all so we did a reset, removed her account, re-added her account, and as of now we haven't had any issues. I'm just not exactly thrilled with the connectivity and reliability of this device and would much like to check out the Nest Camera.

Not baby monitor, but works
It relies on internet so the delay is a really big issue, but it has great quality picture and features. Sometimes the take a picture option doesn't work and it didn't really advertise that it had it so it was a nice surprise. I just wish it was more reliable. I don't know if I will have a 10 sec delay or 5. I don't know if it is going to always turn on right away or not...but in comparison I am happy with this brand then the others I tried.
