    The range for WiFi is great, the options to set boundaries is easy, the app is easy, the picture quality is great. The battery is good for some medium foot traffic, so far they last me about 3 weeks. Connecting was easy as well. I have nothing bad to say about them.

    I may need to still set mine up because the battery seems to be going down kinda fast. Its been about 3 weeks since ive installed in and its around 25 percent. But my camera also goes off all the time due to dogs running in and out of the house. You can set it up to only record during certain times of the day.

    I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE GOOD CAMERAS BECAUSE THEY JUST WASN'T THE RIGHT ONES FOR MY HOUSE. THESE ARE WIRELESS, I NEED HARDWIRE. ONE CAMERA WAS INSTALLED IN THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE BUT THE VIEW DIDN'T COVER MY WHOLE FRONT AND THE NOZZLE WAS NOT ADJUSTABLE. ALSO THE BATTERY ONLY LASTED FOR 2 DAYS BEFORE IT DIED. BUT THEY WAS SMALL AND CUTE.

      Hi Darci,

      Thanks for sharing your review. If you need the Essential 2 Outdoor Camera hardwired, you can choose to purchase the 25 ft. Outdoor Charging cable to have your camera connected to power.

    I only purchase 1 camera to replace an older arlo. So happy with this camera it has more options and clarity is awesome. The camera is C so its better connection stability. I am using my old arlo solar panel until I receive the C arlo solar panel. I highly recommend this camera. Easy to install and upgraded on cell.

    This set seemed like a good deal. Well sometimes things are too good to be true! My old arlo camera set worked much better that i bought in 2017. I assumed with new technology that i would get better battery life! And the best buy associate didn’t know her product and told me i could buy extra batteries for these cameras. Well guess what??!! These cameras do not allow for interchangable batteries. The battery is attached to the camera only and you cant trade/change them out. The battery life is terrible. It lasts about 3 weeks. Ugh! Charging each camera takes about 6 hours+. And Arlo provides you one cable to charge 4 cameras. I expect much more from Arlo. This is why this set is on sale! Too much maintenance and difficult to maintain. Buy soemthing else.

    I have the first generation Arlo at home, it's not perfect but it does the job, then I bought the Arlo Pro 2, it's also not perfect but it does the job. Then to replace 2 Arlo Pro 2 cameras I bought these Arlo essential 2k cameras, when you buy them Arlo gives you a 30-day trial where the camera saves the videos in the cloud which you can see from the application, it tells you if it detects a person or a car, you can call a contact that you program from the camera live. After 30 days the crappy camera does absolutely nothing, you can only see it live when you enter the application, it doesn't take photos, it doesn't record videos, much less detect people. The problem is that when the 30-day trial ends, the opportunity to return it also ends, which is when you realize that you bought a crappy camera, the worst thing is that the current Arlo cameras work with the same system. I have 6 cameras, they expect me to pay $15 per camera per month to be able to activate the functions of a regular security camera. This is not a cheap device, but if you are not willing to pay a ridiculous monthly fee, it is not good for anything more than a paperweight. I bought a $20 camera on Amazon, it has its own server where you can see if it detected a person and it also tracks them since the camera moves, it is 2k, it has night vision, it sends notifications to the cell phone and to Amazon Alexa, it has digital zoom, it saves videos and organizes them by date or type of detection, in short, a $20 camera is much better and really a surveillance camera.
