    Perfect resolution. I’ve had the original Arlo then upgraded to the regular version of this. Now I purchased these 2K versions and the resolution is much more crisp. No problems whatsoever I highly recommend Arlo.

    The range for WiFi is great, the options to set boundaries is easy, the app is easy, the picture quality is great. The battery is good for some medium foot traffic, so far they last me about 3 weeks. Connecting was easy as well. I have nothing bad to say about them.

    Great cameras, I have 7 in total, at first I bought 4 to secure my house, I used it for a month and I was so satisfied that I bought 3 more to put on my babies crib. You don’t have to charge it all time so it’s a great advantage for me because I can move them around my house to keep my babies safe.

    Quality product that is easy to setup, literally took me 30 minutes to setup all 4 cameras and seamlessly add to existing. It took me that long to figure out the best locations. 5 stars all the way.

    Outdoor vision - Frustrations of this camera

    |

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Regrettably, the cost-effectiveness takes a nosedive post-trial, courtesy of a subscription that leans towards the steep side. Navigating the app proves to be a less-than-pleasant experience, and the frustration escalates with the inability to seamlessly integrate an additional camera into an unlimited plan. Despite a robust internet connection, the camera's live feed seems to take its sweet time loading. Adding to the exasperation is the camera's puzzling inability to detect motion through windows – a baffling limitation, especially when strategically placing it to keep an eye on potential mischief-makers outside. The lone redeeming feature, the commendable quality of the feed, is overshadowed by another headache: a lack of discernment in motion detection. Picture this: notifications flood in for every trivial movement, be it a change in lighting or the gentle sway of curtains. A high-resolution marvel it may be, but the frustration mounts as the camera insists on capturing and alerting for every minute disturbance, rather than just the critical stuff – you know, people and animals. In essence, while the camera flaunts its prowess in resolution, it's akin to having a powerful engine in a car with a host of other critical components missing or malfunctioning. Frustratingly close to being great, but held back by glaring oversights that matter in the grand scheme of things.
