Great cameras!
I bought this camera before I upgraded to make sure I enjoyed the Arlo system. I now love these cameras, I do recommend the upgraded cameras. Mainly due to the removable battery. However solar panel does great at keeping them charged

Great starter cameras!
Easy to use it takes you step by step to set it up. The picture quality on the cameras is excellent and well and the battery last a fair amount of time.

Great photos
We got this camera because of random people coming in and out of our neighborhood. And our ring camera wasn't very good picture. This camera is definitely an upgrade and is a great price. Great picture quality. Would definitely recommend. Plan on getting one more.
