Great view quality, ease of use and setup, long battery life.

very good set of cameras, they met all my expectations, with the solar panels you don't have to worry about charging them again, the best purchase

This is my third wireless security camera system setup in recent years. The Arlo - Essential 4-Camera Outdoor Wireless 2K Security Camera (2nd Generation) is a truly wireless battery powered system that does not require a hub or home base, just a WiFi connection. The setup process is simple and straightforward once you install the Arlo secure App and after fully charging the built-in battery. The cameras came with some charge, so technically you could set them up right away and charge later but it is recommended you fully charge before setting them up and especially before you mount them. Unlike other brands, Arlo uses the latest USB-C charging connector, so it’s easy to find additional chargers or cables to get all four cameras charged simultaneously. It took almost 2 hours to fully charge. Anyway, once connected to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network the camera quickly checked and installed a firmware update and then I moved on to adding the other 3 cameras to the app. In terms of image quality, 2K QHD is noticeably sharper than 1080p and these Arlo 2nd generation cameras provide excellent video quality and a pretty wide 130 degree viewing angle. The cameras have built-in spot light and also a speaker and a pretty good microphone for two way communication and alarms. Additionally there are motion detection sensors as well as decent infrared night vision and a color night-mode that works pretty well but it will consume more battery. The Arlo App comes with many customizations and alerts for motion detection options and zones to fine tune to your specific installation. The algorithm for detection of moving objects such as human, car, pet works quite well, but unfortunately the recording of clips is only available with a $5/mo cloud subscription. There is no local storage recording option, no micro-SD memory slot like other similarly priced systems. I totally understand the cloud recording option is more secure vs. a local recording that a perpetrator could potentially walk away with, but if you’re on a tight budget, having to pay yet another subscription may not be an option. Overall, these cameras work pretty well but if you’re not already invested into the Arlo brand there are other competing systems available that offer both cloud and local recording options and better battery life, though you can get a solar panel charger to alleviate one of the shortcomings of this system.

I bought this so my dad could stream footage of his beehives to his phone. He loves it.

Love it and it keeps me safe and I can watch my outside really well

nice outside security camera. no subscription need.

Another good arlo product at reasonable price. Uses c plug for charging so needed adapter from micro usb cord for long term power. Hopefully they will update software to work with their hub ,besides dird t wifi hookup.

Worked great to monitor house, however someone threw out charging cables had to get new ones

You can never underate security. We use these for family and business monitoring. We definitely feel protected.

Camera is very nice. Has a fixed view but captures a wide view. Notifications are great too.

Excellent quality very clear video and been very useful too keep our property protected, great purchase

They last longer than the previous ones and are easier to connect.

Camera is well for the price. The resistance to weather is great.

These are easy to mount and function well. However, they do not have the adjustable 'motion detection zones' to block out high traffic or movement areas.

The best camera and makes me rest easy knowing that my house is protected
