Arlo - Pro 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wireless 720p Security Camera System - White

Easy setup: Take everything out of the box, connect the base station to power and LAN, download the app or login online, then SYNC the cameras and you're ready to go! Amazing features: Mobile app is easy to use, has pinch to zoom for cameras. Cameras can be mounted basically ANYWHERE, no need to run wires was the biggest benefit, plus you can get creative where you mount them! Love the features of the new Arlo Pro system - benefits are rechargeable batteries, 2-way audio, siren, local storage option. The only negative thing I have encountered is that the 2-way audio might as well be 1-way audio. The cameras capture amazing sound detail, full conversations from a distance - but when you try to talk thru them the sound volume is so low that it is inaudible. You can't turn the output volume up to where you can be heard either. So don't buy these strictly for the 2-way audio feature. All in all, great product -all I need now are more cameras!! I would definitely recommend this product!

Over the years I have put in a number of IP cameras with and without PoE. My goal was to setup some for our home with a NVR or record to a Synology device. When I saw this cameras I was skeptical. The idea of not having run cables was something my wife liked ;-). I read through the reviews and the battery life ones and thought I would give the Arlo's a shot. I am so glad I did. Battery life - I have had the cameras running since the last week of November and the battery life is 61%, 89%, 95% and 96%. Today, I moved the Arlo base station to a different location and am hoping that will help the battery on the one camera that is at 61%. The two camera's with the lowest battery % are outside AND it has been COLD. We had -5 Fahrenheit weather the last couple of days and I have had no issues with the cameras. Motion Sensor - I've been really impressed with the lack of false positives the camera will report. When the unit is armed it record when it should. Picture/Sound Quality - The camera records at 720p which is fine for my use. I have now issue being able to see or hear people. I placed one to monitor the front door and I have been able to have conversations with my UPS driver. This feature and the the rechargeable battery where the main reasons for choosing the Pro vs the standard Arlo wireless units. The Arlo app is great to review live and historical video from the camera and Arlo makes it easy to share and download the video. Ease of Use - This is one of the easiest systems to use. The free cloud based DVR service makes it a snap to review your video on your laptop and for security it will log you off of your app when using it on the computer. Local Storage - Arlo requires the use of the Cloud DVR but you can keep local video archives which is great If the internet goes out. To review them you need to eject the USB drive and connect it to your MacBook or PC. Arlo App - The app is intuitive and easy to use. Adding the cameras is a snap and you can rename them to better identify them. From the app you can arm the Arlo system, change video and sound settings, configure motion detection, review the battery life, signal strength back to the base station and more. Overall, I am incredibly happy with the Arlo system and one of my co-workers just picked a two pack up and is really pleased too. The Arlo Pro's rechargeable battery and two way audio are a great feature and for the money they are a good value. A good PoE camera can start at $150 and then you need to configure the NVR or software. Arlo has made this system incredibly easy to use. I included a screenshot from my MacBook and the iPhone app.

Sytem does everything it claims with minimal lag. One note I've noticed none have mentioned is the use for burglary prevention and prosecution. Having worked in Law Enforcement for over 20 years I routinely heard the amount of pending alarm calls at any given moment which in a large city is typically 30 or more. These alarms are assigned for response chronologically so often police officers simply are responding after the fact to write a report. Using the Arlo System an owner can notify police themselves, giving a description of perpetrators for apprehension and most importantly, having their call assigned as a priority in progress call rather than just another pending annoyance as deemed by most Police Departments.

The Arlo Pro Cameras far exceed my expectations! I was at first turned off by the 720P, having 4) DropCam Pro 1080P cameras in my home already. But the Arlo Pro resolution is comparable to the 1080P cams & offers these benefits: 1- it is completely wireless, 2- cloud monitoring is free up to 5) cameras, 3- they are completely portable, 4- their own hub produces a much more robust connection than WiFi Cameras, 5- the auto IR works perfectly, 6- there are silicon skins to protect the exterior & convert to black 7- there are white & black aluminum weather resistant brackets! 8- the cameras are water resistant for outdoor & indoor use 9- 3-month life using the Li-ion built-in battery! 10- Bright, clear images

I've had the Arlo pro setup with 5 cameras for about a month. So far I'm pretty impressed. The battery life is still in the mid 70% range after a month and I've no issues with the cameras or base. The only gripe I have is that sometimes the app is slow to arm and disarm the system as well as activating the live view. The motion sensing works well after setting the right level and seem to capture events accurately. Night vision is also pretty good, but the pic quality is definitely better with good lighting. I am looking to get another Arlo pro for outside and maybe one for inside. I have my Arlo system integrated with my Samsung Smartthings hub and they seem to work well together.

I purchased the Arlo Pro with 4 cameras on Friday and had everything set up and installed by Sunday. I purchased another camera to use (Arlo Q powered camera) and another outdoor adjustable mount. I downloaded the manual from Netgear's website and read through it quickly. There were no problems at all. The only thing I noticed with the app is when you set the recording time for each camera (in case you want it longer than the default) you have to click save in the top right corner of the page then click save again when it backs up to the previous page. Someone didn't design this feature correctly and it took me a few minutes to figure out. Right now I have 5 cameras working and plan on getting two more Arlo Q cameras tomorrow (for indoor use). The Arlo Q cameras don't use the base station that the Arlo Pro cameras use but they all can be viewed in the app. The siren alarm in the base station is VERY loud. I cleared out all the pets before turning it on. Motion sensors all work well and when you set everything up you start getting alert notices to your e-mail since they are turned on. There is a way to disarm everything in the Mode part of the app. Very easy to turn on and off. They have another feature that I haven 't set up yet, but it uses your cell phone(s) to tell if anyone is in the house. If they are in the house the system is disarmed (if you want it that way) and armed automatically when you leave the house. I thought this would be perfect to try. The picture quality of all cameras (Arlo Pro and Arlo Q) is excellent. The sound is very easy to understand. You can use a push to talk button in the app to talk to your pets or someone standing near the camera. It's good quality. I think Netgear has a winner with the Arlo Pro and Arlo Q cameras (along with their app).

I have been looking at Arlo for the past couple of years. I wanted a "wireless" system. Arlo has made some changes that are good and not so good! It took me a couple of weeks to get the cameras adjusted properly and get the modes set up. The software for setting up a schedule is hard to use. If you want to set up a mode for night time, you can't put in 7PM - 7AM. You have to put in 7PM - 11:59P then another for 12AM - 7AM. Since the cameras are rechargeable, you have to pull the cameras down every 4-6 months and recharge the battery which takes about 2 hours for each then re-install the camera and adjust. So, choosing locations that are not too high is the best but also not too low so someone can grab it and run. I am hoping for "white" skin covers to come out and improvements in the software.

These cameras work really well at what they are suppose to do. They send alarms on motion. I wish they would allow a quick button to disarm the push notifications but still record motions for during the day. They do have a quick disarm button but it disarms motion detection totally. You have to go into each camera under armed tab to uncheck send push notifications. Make a simpler way of doing this. I cant think of why anyone would want to turn off recording totally. Anyway, the quality of picture is good, a little slow on verizon network when trying to use the 2 way talk but quick on the wifi. I have 1 gig connection and a wireless ac router. Nest still has them beat on continuous record and video quality albeit on a wired connection however. After 2 weeks of use Im sitting at 54%, 58%, 65% and 71% battery life on 4 cameras at the highest quality setting.
