    I have an 1st generation outdoor camera in another area and the quality of this new one is even better. This one is a big help keeping track of what animals are damaging my garden and with making decisions on how to protect it.

    Camera is good and has wide angle lens. Only issue is that screw in mounting arm is not long enough and not stable when screwing into camera. More difficult to mount than doorbell.

    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.

    I like the fact that its easy to install and set you. But you have to charge the battery like every week. Each charging last a week for me and my camera is always busy. Good so far

    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.

    It worked for a couple moths and then it didn't. The battery quit charging and will no longer communicate wit the wifi. Called the support line, no help. I'll be throwing this away. Beware when you cancel your account with them they don't refund any money, they tell you that you can still use it until your renewal day? I won't be purchasing anything from Arlo again!

    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.

    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.
