    Quality and functionality is good but battery only lasts two days. would be a better fit if camera will be placed on an easy accessible spot.

    Couple of things, i have these about 50yrds away with a direct line of sight to my dedicated router that is mounted in the window. Sometimes they connect sometime not. I also have the earlier model and they connect fine, these are junk. Please know that all of the spotlight models turn on the spotlight when live viewing at night, or they sense motion regardless of settings. Arlo says that you cannot change this feature. That feature is stupid , it lets anyone out there know that the camera is there and exactly where the camera is. Guess I will paint over the spotlight since reselling these on ebayis a joke at 25 bucks a peice - which says how much they are really worth. The battery also sucks, on avg after about 4wks they need recharged. They are lithium so I dont let them go below 50%. I did finally put them on solar, still junk though

    Purchased this set on a deal of the day for a good price. I installed one outside the house for security and three inside the barn to keep an eye on the animals. Good performance for the price. Would buy again.
