    Great camera/Good value

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The camera performs as advertised. Installation instructions are clear and easy to follow. The only complaint is the battery charge life is shorter than desired. Make sure to install it in a location where is easily accessible to you for charging.

    Good Value for the Money

    For the price it's hard to beat the feature set, and they're pretty easy to set up. Being unable to connect them to a smarthub is a drawback, though.

    I bought 4 of these to replace my aging cameras. They were super easy to setup and deploy. The one thing I wish I could do is mute notifications on specific cameras during high known traffic times vs muting all camera notifications.

    Arlo Camera Review

    High quality camera with a 10 second delay. I have yet to install and properly use it. I wish it could more securely mount.

      Hi Angelina,

      Thank you for your review. The delay you are experiencing is normal behavior. A slight delay is expected as the camera must communicate with the Arlo cloud when live streaming. For further assistance, please navigate to Settings > Support in the Arlo App for service options available to you.

      Best regards,
      Arlo Team arlo_us

    This 2nd generation cam is great. A light and color night coverage helps me to identify the color of clothes in case of disturbance. You just have to get one.

    As a long time Arlo user and needing a few simple cameras just to cover some dead spots in my yard I ordered the essential to HD cameras and was pleasantly surprised with the clarity and battery life for a $49 camera on the market today.

    This camera is straightforward to install and get setup. The free trial that it came with is the icing on top. Now that I got to tryout the services of this product; I’m definitely going to get a plan to continue using it.

    I like the camera but had to upgrade to the new version of the software to use with my older set and the new software is more complicated to use

    This little camera is amazing. I can believe I was about to pay $180 for a Google doorbell when this thing does everything right. No subscription needed.

    Home Safety

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have a growing family and their safety is always a concern for me. I ordered two Arlo Essential cameras, so when my children get home I can both hear and speak to them if I can’t reach their phones. This is so important for me. The sensors help ease my anxiety because when we’re away from home I know when somebody or something is moving around my home. I’m able to communicate with our mail person and talk with our neighbors when away. This is such a blessing.
