This is my fouth Arlo cam as I was impressed with the first 3 arlo cam's and base station...I added the Arlo security cam kit as an addtion to my existing security POWERED OUTLET cam's...the setup was EASY and took about 10mins including unpacking everything...MOUNTING (the 3 set Arlo I got had 2 screw in mounts and 3 magnetic mounts which work GREAT ) the cam's took the longest because I wanted them facing/viewing a certain way (thats me)...per the instructions you do need the cam's to be facing a certain way to have cam's work as they should with MOTION DETECTION and avoid recording DELAY...setting up app with the RULES and MODES for cam's was easy since I have setup other cam's before and the APP works GREAT ( I can have all 4 Arlo cams viewing live stream at the same time with the app and view full screen on one cam and go back to view another cam full screen without having any issues..I do have 200mbps internet connection which helps but I can also do this with app when I'm using my celluar connection)...the base station is in a central location and ALL 4 Cams get FULL STRENGTH on wireless icon ( furthess cam is about 100ft away) and I have had cams recording for 35secs PER motion detection & video set to Optimize and BATTERIES still show FULLY CHARGED for over the last month...I am only using the free cloud storage that comes with the set since I already have main powered outlet cam's handling all the other RECORDINGS (again the Arlo set is secondary to my MAIN HD security cams)..as far as Arlo cams not having AUDIO that again is ok since my MAIN HD cams record AUDIO and have two way speakers..I'm not worry about BATTERIES as they look to last 4 to 6mnths as advertized and you will pay for power with plugged in Cams any where from $20 to $30 per cam each year so either way your paying for electricity or BATTERIES but the trade off FOR WIRELESS and being able to MOUNT ALMOST ANY WHERE is WORTH it !!!!!! For the PRICE any the QUALITY THIS ARLO set is worth it as a secondary OPTION to an EXISTING SECURITY SYSTEM..DEFINITELY RECOMMEND...

This replaced my Netgear VueZone system/cameras. The Arlo cameras are significantly better than the VueZone cameras. Clearer image, larger image area, and real night time imaging are all very good. The software allows you to select sensitivity to capturing movement, the length of recording time, or select capture image only. Movement/video alerts sent to your email and watching live video on your smart phone/tablet or computer are also features. These cameras do not record sound or provide for live communication between you and camera and for that I could only give it 4 stars...if I could I would actually give it 4 1/2 stars. Another huge plus is the cameras operate with your wi-fi and does not need to be hard wired to a network and does not require to be connected to a power source - uses lithium batteries.

Camera takes nice video easy to install only drawback is when Arlo updates the system for the router or the app on the phone You may lose the feeds, cameras are off-line or the system is off-line and if you are using these at your vacation home thousands of miles away your screwed, you'll have to find somebody to reset the system, if arlo does not Update the system you can count on the cameras, otherwise you cannot count on Arlo.
