Arlo - Pro 5S 2K Indoor/Outdoor Wire Free Spotlight Security Camera - Black

These cameras is Amazing. The picture is crisp the color is on point. I have it set to alert me when someone goes into the Garage or in the middle of the night. Out of there room In the living room. Now that christmas is around the corner i already know the presents will be safer because of it. Def an Upgrade from the Arlo essentials Spot Light.

GARBAGE!!! My previous system was a Sannce (wired) system. Had it for 8 years before NVR finally died. I'm alot older now and have health issues. Since I needed a new Home Security System, I needed something wireless, I just can't get up in my attic to run CAT cables all over the place and down the walls to my home office room so I checked into wireless systems. After alot of research and also trying a couple of different brands, I ended up trying Arlo Pro 5s 2k. I bought this system 3 days ago, since then nothing but a ton of problems. 1. Easy to setup= NO (sure, easy to put the battery into the camera, but the app instructions should tell you more detailed information, there's just too much gray area in regards to the instructions. Meaning I've never used a wireless system so I no Zero when it comes to what is what, etc...really need to make a setup app for dummies is what I need. 2. In the past hour alone I have experienced numerous issues, i.e., one camera spot light flickers like a beacon for a couple minutes and then stops (did this twice), random cameras randomly saying (offline, signed in by another device, unexpected error. When I google arlo information in regards to these problems, I've checked and doubled checked everything. Interesting thing though, I had these cameras for a couple of days until I received my VMB Smarthub 4540. Installed it today, paired the cameras, that's when it seems that these problems have really been frequent. 3. Battery life sucks! I'm sure they are ok if your video settings are on the lowest setting but even the default setting was way too grainy for me to see so I selected Best quality, by doing so, a battery last 24 to 30 hours (basically one day) depending on traffic. I have 6 cameras, each having different levels of traffice which affects battery life, I can't tell you how many times I've been in and out of my house to change this battery, few hours later, change a different camera battery, another few hours, change another battery. Also, one of my cameras battery was almost dead so I went and got a fresh battery (with a green light) off the charging station, put it in the camera, came back and it said error, I looked up the how to fix this problem and it said, put in a new battery...um...I just put in a new battery, swapped it out with another green light charged battery and it worked. Needless to say, with winter coming I'm not about to be in and out of 10 degree weather every few hours to change a freaking battery. As I mentioned, I don't have good health thanks to 2 combat tours in the Army and my age (did I mention I have a Rare lung disease, hence the reason I can't go in and out in cold weather. So I'm pretty sure these cameras are going back. I'll go back to Sannce and hire someone to install the cables. I could go on and on about all the problems in just 3 days time. During the 3 days I've contacted online support and chatted with someone who was ZERO help. I received a phone call the next day and that person was at least helpful (this was just to fix very minor technical/connecting issues after that, the last 2 days have been a nightmare. Just to add, the online support told me I didn't have fast enough upload speed needed for each cameras bandwidth...according to AI and Arlo, the Pro 5s 2k needs 2mbps for each camera of upload speed. As these problems are actually happening I did a speed test... 6 cameras means I need 12 mbps total...I have 32mpbs.

Love our Arlo 5S , definitely will be buying more in the near future.
