    Great product!

    Arlo Cramer’s are the way to go. I’ve been using them for years and hardly ever have any issues with them. I feel like they’re the best cameras out on the market. We use them at three different properties.

    Completely disappointed

    I have the Arlo 2’s and had high hopes for this camera and it has fallen way short. It doesn’t start recording a car until it’s right in front of it if at all. It missed the huge fed ex van completely!! I have angled and moved it closer and still nothing. The door camera which is further away will spot it, and I waited for the Arlo essential to go off but it doesn’t. It will catch the dog running more than people or cars. Photo is when it finally caught movement!

    Great cams - inconsistent pricing

    These cameras are absolutely fantastic. My only complaint is that after I bought them, Best Buy raised the price 57%. So when I went to buy more, the price was ridiculous comparatively. I asked if they would price match my original purchase and was told no.

    Great Product - Don't need a Premium service

    Positives - Battery charge lasts for weeks to months. They can be taken down for charging on a normal USB-C. You can program zones into each camera, so they know when to trigger an alarm to prevent a false alarm from a neighbor mowing their lawn. It does come with 2 way voice, so you can talk to the questionable person. You can also trip a strobbing and alarm sounding alert at the camera to chase the possible criminal away. There is also a free trial that you can sign up for but not needed. There are options to Disarm, Arm at home or arm away just like a normal burglary alarm system. Camera feeds get sent to the phone via the Arlo app. They do come with Outdoor wall-mounts that do require anchors and screws which do come in the packaging. There is not a 3-M adhesives. Negative - Sometimes these little guys can false alarm. Either by an animal or wasp flying by the camera. Also, if you have a weed control problem, they can trip as well. Due to the ever extensive long battery life, they will take a very long time to charge. If I remember correctly, I witnessed a charge time of 4 hours for less than 10% battery life.
