    Arlo cameras are the best. They easily integrate with the other Arlo camera products in the home and with the doorbell Arlo camera. The app is very easy to use and the price is better than the competitors. The picture is clear and you can zoom in. We love this system!

    We needed to add a camera to our Arlo system. Works great and easy to set up. One thing that I was bummed about is the battery can not be removed from the camera to charge it like my other cameras. Poor research on my end. Other than that the camera does what it is supposed to do.

    Great item, definitely recommend, only downside is you have to get them down every time to charge them, not to much of a hassle

    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.

    Not continuous video monitoring. Costs extra for cloud storage. Good video quality. Needs to be more transparent on pricing.

    Cámaras are working great and the batteries are lasting a long. But I gave them a 4 star because they are not syncing with my Arlo based; like they supposed to do according to what I read before I bought them.
