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.

This camera was something I needed ASAP and the Best Buy team understood that and worked some magic to get it to me in 72 hours. I wasn’t sure how good the camera would be as it was on the cheaper side but I Absolutely love this camera! This camera catches just about everything, there’s a lot of traffic near my camera so I do have to charge the camera every couple of weeks but I could say I prefer this over a ring camera! Clear picture, easy to install, reliable, etc.

I have had the Arlo camera system since the first version - upgraded to the next. One of my cameras quit working so I asked Best Buy to identify a camera that would work with my existing system. This was recommended. I was skeptical when I got it since it doesn't allow removal of a battery for charging and seemed to be different enough to not be compatible. I gave it a try and am very pleased with the camera and upgrade to the software. I am considering upgrading the old - working - cameras.
I also appreciated the work of the BB online representative who spent a long time making sure that this camera would work with my existing base station.

I am still on trial mode and its a good sight. Comes with a siren microphone and speaker. All and all works good. Has a battery and a spotlight that works at night. Rechargable and i've had it on for over a week and its still at 80 percent

This camera is a perfect edition to my Arlo arsenal. I placed it in my backyard for any possible activity and couldn't be happier. It has 130-degree cam which can see almost my entire backyard (which is very impressive considering the size) plus the night vision looks very high quality, you can still see everything very clearly, no matter the hour. I would HIGLY recommend this camera! I plan on buying a few more myself for other areas of my house.

This camera was an addition to three that we already had. This new camera was compatible, and
It works perfectly. The device has an added feature that our older cameras do not. The feature is a light that is motion activated. Its awesome and it was purchased at a great price. Best Buy always tends to have what we need.

Theres a ton of options. I had to find one for my parents where the app was easy to use and easy to charge, understand the process to charge and put back up. It fit all the criteria and has been working great so far the last 7 months!
