Replaced Arlo Pro 2 and WOW!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.So far so good! Replacing (3) Arlo Pro 2 cams outside in the southern California desert. These Arlo Pro 2 cams have taken a beating and have been incredibly tough and resilient. I have only connected 1 so far as i ran out of daylight, but upgrade from 1080p to 2k with a 160° field of view is amazing!! The clarity is phenomenal. I have had no issues and set up was a breeze. I have more trouble connecting IoT lights and hubs than these. And the package i got was $200 off!!

Count your neighbors bricks!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I was surprised by how this security camera. I have tested the Wyze Outdoor Camera and the ring stick up camera and i am a Ring fan but this Camera changes the game. i haven't seen many 2k cameras out there. This has a 160 degree viewing angle. Before i had to have two Ring stick up cameras but now i can just have one mounted. This not only has a ultra wide viewing it is also very smart. It has auto zoom and it detects animals , vehicles, packages, and humans. Mine is mounted on a 3rd floor story outside window ledge and it still detects the difference. the clarity is one of the best also as playback videos are 100% clear and there is no lag. The pictures i uploaded you can make out the detail like what a person is wearing or what make and model of a car is. ect. If my camera was mounted on a first or second floor i could easily tell license plates and faces.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I spent several weeks researching smart security cameras before finally purchasing alto security cameras, I wanted to go with something cheaper like ring but after reading dozens of reviews and talking to friends and family I decided to go with the more expensive choice, alto cameras are great, they are the only wireless cameras I could find, the video quality is great and they are simple to install. I believe in most cases you get what u pay for and this is one of those things you are better off spending more and not taking the chance on a cheaper product.

Money well spent
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I’m a first time home buyer. I thought someone tried breaking into my house in the middle of the night and I was all alone. That same morning I went to Best Buy and purchased this camera. The three cameras didn’t take long to install and I did it on my own. The quality is great. The picture attached is about 9:30pm. You can do many things including zoom in, make the video brighter, 2-way talk from wherever. If you park in your garage like I do, nobody will ever be able to tell if you’re home or across the country!

Security Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This product has very good quality during the day and night.The cameras work find just the audio is hard to hear when speaking to someone. The battery runs low very quickly on the front camera since so much activity is seen. Hopefully getting the solar panel for the front.

Additional Arlo Camera Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Purchased an additional Arlo wireless camera, only regret was that this specific model was a magnetic mount and not the security mount style. Wasn't very clear in the description.

Arlo Pro 4
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.Quality isnt terrible, but when it comes to attemtping to connect them or staying connected to the wifi. It tends to me a hassle. Cameras shouldnt be giving me probelms or making it difficult. At times i cant even load up a camera without waiting more then a couple minutes. After having them for a couple of years. I wouldnt recommend them for outdoor nor indoor use.

Q: QuestionDoes arlo still offer free 7 day cloud storage or is all storage a paid subscription?
Asked by JeffL.
- A:Answer This is why I won’t buy a newer Arlo. Pay this much for a camera and can no longer record without paying a subscription. I’m glad I bought the older version. Also the not being able to remove the battery to charge is a bad design. I used to recommend Arlo but no longer will sue to these two issues they brought upon themselves

Q: QuestionIs the spotlight an actual bright light beam that could shine into someone's window and disturb them? Would a person you are filming know they are being filmed because the spotlight is on them?
Asked by Marty.
This question was asked about the related product: Arlo - Pro 4 Spotlight Camera, 2 Pack - VMC4250B - Black
- A:Answer Integrated Spotlight is enough to light up the area where the camera detects the motion to give colored video quality at night. You can choose to turn it off and let the camera use its night vision for more subtle video recording. ^RM

Q: Questioncan I use a wire charger on the camera Arlo pro 4, so I don't have to charge it every month? like wire camera?
Asked by Chelo.
- A:Answer Yes. Bestbuy sells one that is 25ft long for 48-50 bucks or There are solar panels chargers you can purchase separately (3pack for 60ish bucks on Amazon). I’ve had mine up in a busy spot for a month or so I get about 250 motions alerts a day on it and I’m at 88ish percent on battery so you should get more than a month or two out of a charge.

Q: QuestionIs the battery removable like the Arlo Pro2 or does the whole unit need to be charged?
Asked by jeymac.
- A:Answer Bizarre design. Very easy to pop the battery out, but the charging cable connects to the camera HOUSING, NOT to the battery! So you can't charge the battery outside of the camera. To do that you must buy their very expensive external 2-battery charger for $50. And you'll want to buy at least one spare battery so you only need to get up on the ladder once, to remove the depleted battery and swap in the charged one. OR, you can buy their solar panel and mount and connect that permanently. No trips up the ladder. But it's expensive - around $80. On the plus side, that has worked very well for me, keeping the battery charged to 100% nearly all the time, and with the panel mounted in a place that only gets sun for about 3 hours per day (in Phoenix). The accessories seem to never be on sale. They've got you over a barrel. There are 3rd-party substitutes -- just be careful about the quality. I've seen very mixed reviews.

Q: QuestionDoes the Arlo 4 have any local/device video storage capability at all, or is an historical video (i.e. the last 72 hours) available only with a subscription?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Local onboard or local HD storage is not an option. A subscription for 1 camera provides 30 days of clip storage at 2K resolution at a modest less than $3 per month cost. Subscriptions for multiple cameras are discounted.

Q: QuestionWhat is the surveillance distance? Thank you.
Asked by PleaseHelp.
This question was asked about the related product: Arlo - Pro 4 Spotlight Camera, 1 Pack - VMC4050B - Black
- A:Answer You probably have a very clear picture within the first 20 feet. At night, that may only be around 15 Feet while using some other light source. Yes, you can see 40-60 feet away, but will only know it's a person, a dog, etc. Unless you know the individual real well, you would not be able to identify who that person is. I don't believe any of the competitors and their cameras are really that good. Just look at the price and the quality of the camera lens. For good night vision, you need a floodlight. The Arlo wired Video Doorbell works excellent by leaving your outdoor lights on all night. You'll get a very good view of someone coming up to your door. But the 160 - 180 degree view is very misleading. It doesn't show any of the sides of your house next to the door. The further out you go, however, the wider the view. The spotlight on the Arlo Pro 4 is very weak. I don't believe it to be sufficient when mounted outdoors.

Q: QuestionIs there a web interface to watch live and recorded video on the web instead of using your phone? (Especially live)
Asked by PaulQ.
- A:Answer Looks like you can. It's through the arlo.com website. The first time logging in, it sends a push notification to your phone to authenticate you. Once you're logged in, the interface looks very similar to that on your phone. This includes the ability to watch recordings, as well to watch live. As a reminder, there is a lag with all live recordings. I think it's something like 10 seconds.
