    This camera was very good & a pretty good price. My problem was it didn't pivot well enough to fit where I needed it, but it's a great setup.

    For the money, a great little critter cam. The device comes with a number of other capabilities that I can’t comment on, but we are only using it to figure out who is making all the tracks on our back patio. Lots of fun.

    Great resolution overall, with clear and effective results. The only downside is a slight delay in receiving notifications, which could be improved for faster updates. Still, the overall experience is positive and satisfactory, making it a reliable option despite the minor timing issue.

    Great cameras, cumbersome setup

    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.

    The safest I’ve felt since purchasing a camera. Installation is simple, recharging takes a few hours (4-5) & it last past a week before needing a recharge.

    Great Arlo upgrade

    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.
