    Arlo is a Joke!!!

    I purchased these camera's a little under a year ago and when I first received them I was happy and they worked great. I was concerned with the battery life of the camera but after connecting them I didn't need to connect them for 1 maybe 2 months depending on the activity. About 8 months after my purchase the camera's started disconnecting a lot and the battery would drain very quickly it would only last a few days. Today the batteries don't last more than a day or two and Arlo is telling me that only one of these cameras are under warranty. I clearly purchased these together and told them I have a receipt but they are just playing games. If you are looking for a company who takes your safety and security seriously please keep looking. I can't imagine finding a company who will honor their word and keep your safety top priority would be this difficult. Arlo is a joke!

    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.

    These outdoor cameras do not need or made to attach solar panels for recharging They are easy to remove from their holding brackets to recharge. The pair cover the back and sides of my property. The pictures are clear.

    Good video quality, only downside is the battery life. High traffic areas drain the battery needing me to charge every other day so it’s really inconvenient

    I have 12 cameras and 3 doorbells. I replaced Ring because ring at the time of purchase only had HD quality. With HD quality it was difficult to make out details or recognize someone especially at night. Arlo with 2K seemed like the way to go. Quality was excellent even with power set to optimized. Where Arlo goes south is the performance, My camera’s hardly record or worse yet record nothing. Most recordings are 2 seconds and don’t get much action and some don’t even record the same activity, I have two doorbells capturing the front door at different angles and I have package detection enabled. Two packages were delivered. A package was stolen and I only have 2 seconds of delivery and no footage on the other camera. 4 minutes later I see myself picking up one of the packages again only 2 seconds and also again nothing on the iother camera. It’s only after I see the delivery photo that there were supposed to be 2 packages. Somewhere in the 4 minutes between delivery and pickup one of them went missing. This is a private gated community. My suspicion, driver delivered, took a photo and doubled back to steal it or someone is following the driver and stealing packages in the 4 minute window. Either way I’m upset these cameras are useless but what they do capture is nice at 2k. I’ve had ring for close to a decade, through different generations and they work, they capture the action. But these cameras after 9 months are perhaps the worst performing system I’ve owned. Time to look elsewhere. What’s worse is that the cameras go down because battery drains in 2-3 days even after being solar charged. (was never an issue with ring). I charge to 100% then switch to solar and after a few days they’re dead again, Solar can’t keep up. And these cameras aren’t even recording anything. Poor performance. Don’t buy!
