View my backyard.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This camera is a great addition to our home. We wanted something to monitor activity in our backyard and it's doing a great job for that. One thing I didn't realize was when it's too cold outside, the camera won't function. It operates with battery power not direct wiring so that is why. Something I can live with as the number of times that happens is limited.

Great camera set!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.These cameras are really useful for outdoor use age. They have great visuals and only have like a 2 sec delay. Only downside to them, is the WiFi setup. If activity is happening consistently, the battery’s can die pretty fast. But the positive side to that is, you only need to turn them on when your not home or when you go to bed, instead of having them run all day everyday.

Didn’t work for me
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.The cameras were a pain to set up. Everything I looked up online, seemed like a lot of people had the same issue that needed to be resolved by contacting Arlo support. I have to say there support team have great customer service, but I have not been happy with the product at all. After days and many attempts to get working, I finally got it to work. I leave town and a day later the cameras are offline. The solution was I needed to do something with the cameras which I couldn’t because I was away. Well, those cameras became pointless during trip. Maybe they work better some others and what they are using them for, but for me they weren’t a good product. I will try something else.

Randomly stops recording and wifi is spotty
||Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Requires a VERY robust 2.4 ghz connection. Once we got that, the connection was stable. The newest issue is that it stopped recording even though the light comes on when motion is detected. I can see the live view but nothing records. We've talked with service and did all they asked and it still has issues unless we check every single day and restart them when we notice its happening again. We will never buy Arlo again and have steered people away. Of course all this happens outside of warranty. Once the rest of the cameras stop working, we're switching to a better brand.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes this require an Arlo hub or any subscription? If I wanted to just view it in real-time from my smartphone, can I do that with an app?
Asked by DaveFromCLE.
- A:Answer If you don’t continue the subscription after the free trial your cameras will not record when triggered. You will only receive a notification that there was motion on a particular camera. Had I known this I would not have purchased these cameras.

Q: QuestionIs it compatible with Arlo Pro 2?
Asked by Hulk.

Answered by ABQShopper
Q: QuestionMy shop is 120 feet from my house where the Arlo base will be. How far will the signal reach to a camera? Thanks
Asked by Lilweezy.
- A:Answer The Arlo Essential Spotlight camera can connect directly to your router's wifi network. Its range limitation depends on the wireless range of the router and the obstructions between their connection. If connected to an Arlo base station/SmartHub, you can place the camera maximum of 300 feet (90 meters) from the SmartHub or base station. The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction between the camera and base station. ^RM

Q: QuestionI have a essential wire free spotlight camera if after the 3 month trial and I choose NO PLAN will I still go back 7 days of recording instead of 30
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer No, my 3 month trial just ended. I’ve learned that my options are either sign up for cloud service (for I believe $3/mo for one camera or $10/mo for up to four) or use a usb memory stick for local storage in my Arlo hub. Local storage only records, but to view I have to eject & plug into my computer. No remote viewing of a recording. However I will still get alerts and can view live.

Q: QuestionAm I able to split the 4 cameras ( 2 cameras at different locations)?
Asked by Liv.
- A:Answer Yes, but I would suggest checking your internet, and bandwidth connection at home to make sure you can have this many cameras connected to your home network. I have two cameras in two different locations so far, and I am not experiencing any issues.
