I have a total of 4 of these camera's on my property. They are very good camera's. They have a wide view of the area you want it to observe catching about anything I. sight. My camera's even alert me for Deer, cats and even a rabbit. Good picture quality. Customer service is also good. I had one camera that went bad and they replaced it for me. I love these camera's and would buy more again.

Love this little buddy. I can grab a very expansive shot of my backyard up to my deck with just this one camera. Super easy to pair with your wireless, and the mounting is simple too. A nice complement to my Arlo doorbell cam.

I have a couple of these along with some of the much more expensive Arlo Pro 4 and 5 cameras. This camera will give you a reliable 1080p video with good battery life. Battery life depends greatly on how active the camera has to be. If it is in a high traffic area spend the money to get he solar panel to power it.

This is one of many different models of Arlo cameras I have purchased and used in the last two years. They are always easy to set up and function well, most of the time. Occasionally they seem to miss the recording of an event. Overall I am happy with them and will continue to use them.

It’s a clear picture, you can zoom in as well. I would like it to be more wide on the degree of the view, but it’s good as it is. I love the app, it’s easy to navigate and it gives you options on all your systems.

Bought this to replace an older Ring camera, picture is great as is the app. Only had 1 instance where it did not charge correctly. Had to delete the camera and reinstall to show it was charged. Apparently this is a known bug, Arlo still has not updated the software to fix this.

This camera works great, the picture and sound is high quality. Easy installation. We added the solar charging panel which is convenient. The only issue I have is on the app. I have set up my activity zones but still get alerts for movement outside those zones.

Great, clear vision, and excellent cameras. you can zoom in on your photographs from the camera or your videos.
You can record the videos and forward them on to police departments. Should you have a break-in or sharing with the family and friends.
I intend to purchase a few more to securely monitor my building.

This is my very first time having a security system and I am very pleased with the results. After a recent break in, I needed a way to make more home more secure and I am glad I chose your product. It was a seamless setup process and as a result, I purchased another camera from you all. Thank you so much!!!

Paying for arlo subscription for it to work

The camera works great. No issues there. Furst problem is, you have to download a updated app. for the camera to work. Will not work on the old app. if you have arlo pro 2 cameras and Essential camera 1st gen. they will work. So that being said, the new app. is no good. All the other cameras work and record but app works well the the 2nd gen. arlo essential. The last thing is(this is why 3 stars) after 30 days of free subscription. You have to pay for arlo subscription in order for the camera to work. The original arlo pro 2 you did not have to pay for and you got free 7 day recording.
