Excellent for low-traffic zones
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For most people, 2K resolution cameras are adequate for home security. In fact, most Ring doorbells (the gateway gadget into home security) are 1080p and below. These new Arlo cams are wireless and rechargeable, which means they’re great for mounting somewhere you don’t have existing power or to pay an electrician $1000+ to get a new circuit to the mounting location. If you already have a junction box or power in your desired location, I’d recommend going with a wired solution. But these are great for Arlo’s app is amazing. You can set it to alert you at specific times for motion and it seems reliable for detecting motion even though its battery-operated. Please note that without a subscription, none of the awesome features are available. All you’ll be able to do is get real time alerts and talk to people, but all the recordings and smart features are useless without paying monthly. Battery seems like it lasts a while; I live in a *very* quiet neighborhood but wouldn’t buy this set if I lived somewhere busy because the battery is not removable. You can either take the unit down and charge it or connect a long USB-c cable to it. Not ideal if you have it mounted somewhere super difficult to access. I use these near my windows so I can reach out for charging. Just some stuff to be aware of. Highly recommended!

Greatest 2k Security Camera I’ve Ever Owned
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic product! Setup was simple and easy! I love that it has a standalone app for setup and monitoring unlike other security cameras. For the price, 2k resolution, sensors that recognize the difference in animals vs people and the fact that the auto night mode is clear made me very happy with the purchase. Definitely would buy again!

Not what I expected for the price.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Is not that bad, but the subscription is really expensive, sometimes doesn't recognize a person even being in front o the camera.. anyways, is better than nothing.

The system they provide gives me almost everything
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.that I need but… The communications between the camera, internet, and the app are incredibly laggy that it is almost not usable… Pretty good features and so on… If you buy the version with solar panels, beware that their solar panels are incredibly weak and probably your cameras will run out of batteries over time… Solar panels need to be bigger and more efficient. Solar panels must be enough to charge my camera to 100% every day…

Posted .Hi,
Thank you for your review. The delay you are experiencing is normal behavior. A slight delay is expected as the camera must communicate with the Arlo cloud when live streaming. For further assistance, please navigate to Settings > Support in the Arlo App for service options available to you.

Decent camera
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good camera like the other essential 1080p camera. Battery seems to not last as long if in busy area. Also you need to wait for a firmware update to use it with a base station.overall decent camera.

Not worth the purchase
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second set of cameras from Arlo. Although quality of video improved, the need for subscription makes them useless without it. Also, the connection to the web without does not seem as strong without it requiring a base.

Another quality product from Arlo
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I took it out of the package, I plugged it up and let it charge while I was doing other things. Setup was simple and quick with the app and QR code that was included. I installed this in my garage. Primarily because my wife has a tendency to leave the garage door open when she leaves the house and because my kids are always running in and out of there getting things, so it helps me key an eye on them. I also use it to confirm that our vehicles are started when the weather is cold out so my wife and kids don’t have to get into a cold vehicle. This model is the 2k version and I cant really tell a dramatic difference in picture quality between this one and my late model Ultra. The app is very intuitive and gives you all of the necessary information at the palm of your hand. If you subscribe to the Arlo Secure service, you can store your videos for up to 30 days as well. With the service you can also I like that it works with Alexa, but it also works with Google. There is no Apple Homekit support that I was able to find, but since I have a mix of both, I’m covered. Arlo offers three different levels of Arlo Secure and what I really like about the service is that you can add an unlimited amount of cameras for the same monthly or annual price. I remember when you used to have to pay for each additional camera and it got to be pricey. This is a welcome benefit to their service. Overall, i really like the camera and the brand so I definitely recommend it.

Not long lasting.. poor quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras are crap. I bought a 4-pack 1 year ago, and they worked fine for about 4 months.. then I've had nothing but problems. They're constantly going "offline" and the battery dies after a week now. I'm upset I was talked into buying these versus the other big brands that cost just a little more but hopefully have better quality, last longer, and better customer support. I've wasted so much time and effort on these cameras.

Paid Subscription Required
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the camera features and video quality are very good. they do not work without a paid monthly subscription of more than ten dollars per month. I'd recommend an older model that still supports the free plan with slightly less video quality.
