    These newer arlo cameras just don’t seem to work as well as the older ones. Batteries don’t keep a charge as long and sometimes they glitch out, when I say glitch out, the camera will be pointed at a certain location and some how it will be recording to the far wide left, no where near where it’s pointed. Resetting and setting the device back up is the only thing that seems to fix this. They also don’t seem to be as responsive as the older versions. The newest app update is also not as user friendly as the previous version.

    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.
