    This camera does a great job with the video. However, be aware. I have the previous generation of the same camera, and the set up on this generation is terrible. I've called Support three times to attempt to set different schedules for each camera. Following the procedures that they sent did no good. Nothing would work. It was very simple with the older one. I was paying about $48/yr for recording for one camera on a plan. When I wanted to add the second camera, I was told that the old price was now $90 for one, and if I wanted to add another one, it would be $150/yr. Features like turning on the spotlight when motion was seen on the older one was grayed out on the new one, as were a number of other features. All in all, I'll be replacing the Arlo cameras with something else, even though I've got a couple of hundred bucks in them. Reading through the comments in the community forum confirm that Arlo is not interested in correcting the problems people are experiencing. I'm sorry I didn't return this camera before it was too late.

    Major connectivity issues, image quality bad

    First - Connectivity. One of the two cameras in the set never did connect with our Wifi. The other did, but after having a decent live view for a minute or two the image became very fragmented, glitchy and delayed. The camera was ten feet from our router with only a window between. Second - the app. Many people said the app is intuitive. I have many tech "toys" that I have apps for and this one sucked and was NOT intuitive. I never did find how to set up monitor zones. One feature I looked for that should have been in settings somewhere, I found by accident under my account/profile icon which made no sense. I returned the set of two Outdoor Wireless cameras and am going to try Ring next. Fingers crossed - at least I already have a Ring doorbell, and that works. I am really disappointed in Arlo and would recommend finding a different option.
