"P" irises feature additional capabilities for improving footage clarity.)

This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

Excellent quality, not sure about battery life yet
I bought these to replace a 1st generation outdoor nest cam. I only needed one, but there was a sale on the 3 pack and it was the same price as a single camera. The video quality is crystal clear and I like that it shines a light when recording movement in the dark. Installation is a breeze through the app and I like that they don' have to be plugged in. Ive only had them a month and the batteries are at 37%, 58%, 88%. High traffic areas like a driveway will trigger a lot of recordings and drain the battery. I have yet to recharge them, so i will wait to see how much of a pain it is since they require ladders to take them down in my installation.

Great camera for the price
I originally got an Arlo system about 6 years ago, but wasn’t impressed with the non-rechargeable battery and slow motion detection. 6 years later I decided to try again with the Essential XL 3 camera pack. I’m glad I did. I’ve had them about two weeks and the battery levels have only dropped 5%-7% with moderate usage. The advertised 12-16 months battery life is probably optimistic, but either way I can take them all down at once and recharge when necessary. The app works well and I like the routines I can set up for each camera. Even though I don’t need an Arlo hub, I’m still trying to decide it that would bring any additional functionality (other than local storage which sounds difficult to retrieve). I had the Blink cameras which worked well for the price, but having to replace the batteries and low resolution (1080 at best) made me start looking for a replacement. Probably the only, and biggest, advantage to the Blink camera system was the ability to have local storage and not required to pay for a cloud subscription. This is probably the biggest downfall with Arlo cameras is the requirement to purchase a cloud subscription to get the most out of the system. I already knew that when I bought it, but that is the reason for the 4 stars, rather than 5. I’d still recommend the Arlo cameras as they give me a sense of security that I can view motion alerts and a view of my house. Just be prepared to pay for a cloud subscription, which appears to keep going up in price.

Home security
When it comes to home surveillance, nothing compares. Just caught/deterred a potential grand theft auto in my front yard and could see these people as clear as day...at 4am. Can't complain on a great deal and a peace of mind. Thanks.
