    The camera works fine but you can't adjust the angle.

    We love these cameras! You can run them without a subscription or pay only $20 if you want to have a subscription to keep recordings.

    I have had this camera for sometime now. Great view. Even night shots are great. It picks up birds in my yard. I have two of them and they never let me down. When I am away I can watch my home even out of the country.

    This is the BEST tech device that I have purchased in the last 5 years. I started out with 3 cameras and now I own 10 cameras. In my sincerest opinion, it is the best home surveillance equipment out in the market.

    Would have given it 5 stars but the setting up new cameras on the app is very cumbersome -- you have to go through each step every time whenever setting up an additional camera. And it took awhile before it found my network even though the router was in the room next door. Other than that, this is a good product.

    I appreciate how clear the quality is. I have had my Arlo for years and needed another one for my back yard and you can tell the difference of video quality right away from my older version which is not even something I thought was an issue from my last one.

    I really like that the newer models aren't dependent on the base station anymore. Arlo does require a subscription to really get the most out of these cameras and before the price hikes it was reasonable. The video and audio quality of these cameras is great for indoor and outdoor use alike. This particular model has a very good battery life and i typically have it in a high traffic area. If you're okay paying monthly fee to really optimize the camera then this may be a good fit for you.

    We had Arlo cameras for a number of years until base station quit working so I was excited to find a true wireless version that required only internet connection. Bought this camera, was impressed with the picture and response time. HOWEVER, not sure who the genius is at Arlo that decided the camera did not need to pivot on its mount, With the previous version I could view my backdoor, side gate and garage door. The mount on this one limits the viewing field to one direction and to cover all three of those I would require 3 cameras installed very near each other. I returned it, will go to another manufacturer whose base does allow camera to pivot.

    Camera has great video quality & it has a good range to it. Floodlight is really good only downside is the battery life but it’s still good unless you keep up with it

    I got this camera to fill a noted blind spot. I started with the wired doorbell, then installed a spotlight camera after someone got into my car. Then at my wifes suggestion, we got the camera package. This was great until a neighbor told her that someone tried to open her front window, so my wife said we should get one more. All work great, but hooking up a sixth camera was a little more cumbersome and it changed the way you can view the feeds. Other than that, I would have given it 5 stars.
