    I have the older version of this Arlo camera and it works great. It’s perfect for keeping an eye on the pets when I’m away from home. This camera has great video and audio quality, and i prefer Arlo’s products over Ring just for that reason.

  • Great camera!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have been trying to find a camera that sits on the inside of the window, but pointing outside to my car. I am not able to put up a camera outside due to rules in my lease. I have tried many dofferent cameras within in the last couple weeks. After having it for a couple days , this camera is great and does the job. Even though I was told the sensor wouldnt activiate through the glass, it has been working great for me with no issues in the sensor. It is also the perfect size and can be on my window without any issues. This is a great camera and for the price, it cant get any better! Very happy with my purchase!
