I like these cameras very much. Video quality is very very good and crisp. Easy set up and install. When opening the videos for replay, they tend to buffer quite a bit before loading but could be my slow internet connection…thanks Spectrum. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is I don’t like the night vision video doesn’t record in color unless the spotlight is turned on. Which means if you want cameras to records video in color, the spotlight will continuously stay on…pretty sure beginning after dusk. But don’t quote me. Aside from that issue, love them. You also can set many many optional features and customizations for cameras individually perform multiple actions different ways. Even automatic settings ie cam1 to record, notify, siren or whatever when leaving house and cam2 can just do nothing. Also set preferences from when arriving back home. Genius.

Better then last set
The quality of the picture is better than the pro three that was replaced. Oh it doesn’t last six months unless you have it on the simplest settings but the battery definitely lasts a lot longer than my pro three was. Easily hooked up to the smart hub that I have. The color night vision is awesome you can see what color the vehicle is going by or what color the clothing is someone is walking by even the dog or in my neighbors case the cat they walk. Very happy with the upgrade. Two of my cameras did not fair weather this winter. In the picture below is a view of the camera top one is pro three bottom one is ultra two. One other thing that I like is the fact that I can add someone else to keep an eye on the house.

Doesn't live up to the marketing
Even though this camera is marketed as 4K, and it has the right number of pixels to qualify as 4K, the quality of it's imagery is far below what I expect from a 4K camera. Three images illustrate my point. The first is a 4K video screen-shot from my Samsung S9+, the second is a 4K video screen-shot from the Arlo Ultra 2, and the third is a 2K video screen-shot from the Arlo Pro 4. I expected the Samsung quality, but instead I get something that is just barely a little better than the quality of the Pro 4. Bottom line, I don't think the Ultra 2 is worth $100 more than the Pro 4.
