    Great cameras, clear vision, very easy to install and very easy to control. Four stars the only thing I didn’t like is the battery lifetime each camera has .

    They are nice for the price when on sale, but battery dies every 2 weeks when sensitivity is around 80% so less sensitivity will help battery life. And needs monthly subscription ONLY if you want extra features. Works fine without subscription.

    Excellent quality, easy setup. This is my first set of cameras for my place. You don't realize who is around until you check the camera. I appreciate the customization of how and when to capture action. The membership price is low and manageable, but I wouldn't want to commit to it long-term. I purchased a solar panel (3rd party) and plugged it in because my cameras are outside, and I don't feel like plugging in an external battery, which I did at one point. I can go 9 months before reaching mid-battery life. It's a high-traffic area, especially near tourist season.

    Overall pretty good, if your like me and have a one a story home and put them in easy to reach places with a small step stool then you will be fine. I have put 3 outside of my home. In a coldasack, but I will say battery life isn’t 3 months like it says. More like maybe 4 weeks. In a decently busy coldasack.other than that and having to charge them so often. Great picture quality.

    Excellent Security Camera

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After doing a lot of research, I bought three cameras during the Labor Day sale. The quality of the picture is excellent. Easy to mount. The product's PDF manual on the Arlo site is greatly useful. Initially, I didn't go through the manual properly, so I called customer service many times and they are outstanding. A few times, I was mad at them because of my ignorance that the camera neither tilted nor swiveled because it needed high-pressure first time. I was afraid it would break, but the customer service personnel, Amps guaranteed a replacement which worked. I apologize for being rude to them. I recommend this product.

    Awesome system for budget minded people. Color and very clear videos . Easy to install doesn’t require a base unit to use . Each camera is loaded individually. We owned an older Arlo that required a base unit that wasn’t working after an update so we decided it was time for a new system and we chose Arlo again. Arlo merges awesomely with Alexa as well!!

    The coverage and quality is good. The only complaint I have is that they are a bit too sensitive, which has my phone beeping all day long. And it drains the battery way to quickly.

    Not close to expected

    Overview: Devices are easy to setup. Download arlo app, scan the bar code inside the box and keep adding camera one by one. Picture quality (2k video) seems to be good most of the time but sometimes it gets dark depending on the position of the sun and I am not talking about direct sunlight exposure. Cameras are in the shade (see pictures), day is bright but images sometimes seems to be lot darker than usually, why is that I have no idea. I must add that when added to app each camera did run firmware upgrade. Storage seems to be one month free storage included but after that you will need to purchase cloud storage, which is unusual since all previously owned Arlo products did came with one year free storage. Picture quality: 2k videos seems to be great most of the time, but as mentioned in my overview it gets darker periodically which is why am I taking one star away. Motions: Motion sensors are great on Arlo products. It allows you to set motions zones and separate motions per categories such as human, vehicles and others. No complaints there. Battery: Battery life will depend on your settings such as picture quality, motions detection and area of coverage. Overall I am satisfied with battery life. Sound: Sound recorder is awesome, gets good and clear recording. Connection: Periodically (and often) I do get "connecting" message which once it shows up would never go away unless I tap stop and try to reconnect again. Once I hit connect again, it would start working instantly. Storage: Not sure why but Arlo decided to lower included storage option from one year to one month trial Mount: Mounting bracket seems to be firm but limited on how much it could move to desidered posion. Compared to other Arlo products which comes with magnetic mount I must say this is disappointing. Also this "screw in" mount not very practical to remove the cameras for charging. Conclusion: Overall I must say that I am disappointed with this product. Pros: 2K video Wireless Motion alerts Battery life Sound Cons: Periodically (often) darker images Lots of "connecting" messages Only one month of storage included Mounting bracket angle limitations Mounting brackets impractical for quick removing Only one charging cord

    The images from these cameras are excellent! I have a total of seven cameras on my house, they pick up movement extremely well, they identify whether it is a person, vehicle, or animal. The zoom feature is great, you can read licenses plates, the night vision is crystal clear as well. Highly recommend! We do have fiber internet which might play into are wireless connectivity, which seems to run these cameras flawlessly.

    This is a really good set of cameras. Got a great deal for it and it was definitely worth spending the money. Good quality, different detections, spotlight, two way audio, night vision, alarm. Would definitely recommend.

    The camera delivers, multiple ways to set it up, including managing its sensibility level. Image is very clear and crisp. The camera works with limited functionality without a subscription, but a subscription plan is required to take full advantage of it otherwise is not able to record or recover videos without it.

    Seamless integration with my Arlo Base Station, and easy to sync. The rechargeable battery via USB is a useful upgrade from previous camera versions that required installed batteries. The camera images are clear on smart phone. I recently took an out-of-town trip and the motion detector function worked well, giving me peace of mind while I was gone.

    Decent for the price. Rather annoying to need a subscription to save videos and clips but I knew that from the beginning. Video quality is good enough, night vision is lacking and so is the motion detection. Also the batteries don't last long but as expected for ease of setup. But as long as you need convenient security for your home this is as good as it gets.

    Bought this to see if it would work in our application for about a hundred bucks.The next day BestBuy had a sale on a 4pack of the same cameras for $150.You can probably guess the rest.(returned and bought the 4pack).They work well,but have issues with recording the videos and limited internet.Not a fault of the Arlo cameras.

    I’ve had a ARLO system since 2017, I’ve always recommended it, this camera is a great add on. Only issue I had and frankly it was my fault, I aimed in the direction of the sun and damaged the lens so my camera quality wasn’t the best. Prior to that GREAT QUALITY!

    We've had a wireless Arlo system for years and couldnt be happier. We moved recently and needed to upgrade a couple of Arlo Pro 2 cameras, so we bought these. They were easy to set up, work perfectly, and the price was very good. Pictures are clear and night vision is very good. Happy we stayed with Arlo!

    Battery Life & Camera Service

    Overall good camera system. Love Arlo. Had other Arlo systems as they launched and reached their EOL. However, the claim of 6 month battery life doesn't seem so. One of my cameras is a low traffic area and hasn't needed a charge after 3 weeks, but the rest of my cameras needed a charge after just 6 days. When I took my camera in to get "1" resolved, a troubleshoot, something, they said I'd need to return all 4 cameras. Why? Why woud I bring back all cameras. How'bout lets do some trouble shooting. Maybe I'm doing someting wrong. Probably the case, but help me get it figured out. I paid for that 4 year access to the Geek Squad. But Arlo and the Geek Squad are difficult to work with. I'm not sure they always know what their doing. And they make it so hard to even connect with them in the first place. It's like you have to go through secret service to gain access to either of them, then they don't give you their undivided attention and get lost with what's going on with other customers in the queue, chat, or call while trying to juggle my issues too. I'm still in the unresolved line after 2 weeks... :D
