    Excellent camera very customizable in the app. Does not require a subscription to view the camera on demand, but if you want to save clips or reference past recordings, be prepared to fork out $8+ month.

    Great except that if it's pointed at a window, the reflection makes the shutter go on and off repeatedly.

    I love these little cameras. It's a great way to check on the house. The app is user friendly. The speaker on this one has some echoing which I need to troubleshoot. Our other one works perfect.

      Hi Stephen,

      Thank you for your review. The delay you are experiencing is normal behavior. A slight delay is expected as the camera must communicate with the Arlo cloud when live streaming. For further assistance, please navigate to Settings > Support in the Arlo App for service options available to you.

      Best regards,
