    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!

    The cameras do a great job at capturing video, however with the new set up you need a subscription to view playback. It wont sync to my existing Arlo Base Hub so that I can access my local storage.

    We have had nothing but problems with these cameras. Battery life drained too fast, even with solar panels. We're taking the cameras down every other week to charge because they won't stay charged with the solar panels. Arlo sent us new solar panels for two of our cameras and still no change. Now the cameras won't charge with the charging cord and Arlo is saying its the power adapter even though a different camera charged no problem using the same adapter. So now we have to buy a new adapter and see if the cameras charge. Do not buy these cameras!

    These are excellent cameras to use outdoors or indoor. These are Gen2 Essentials, you don’t need a hub, just wifi. The work in conjunction with previous versions of Arlo cameras, you just have to upgrade your app.
