    Beware of Business Practices

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

    Cameras worked just fine, was unable to receive any assistance to set up a security plan. Poor customer service and not able to speak with anyone via phone. Returned cameras for full refund since Arlo organization was unable to help any semblance of customer service.

    NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR THE TIME

    I couldn't give a 1/3 star review or I would have! This product is WAY TOO overpriced! NO help from customer service; in fact they SEND you to a COMMUNITY webpage where the 'community' answers your questions - IF YOU'RE LUCKY! This is NOT plug and PLAY. It sounded good at first nut a couple of years into it you WILL find out that your money would have been better spent buying a PROFESSIONAL, INSTALLED SYSTEM - DO NOT BUY THIS OR YOU WILL REGRET SPENDING THAT MUCH MONEY FOR THAT BIG A HEADACHE.

    Arlo Failure

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

    I purchased two outdoor cameras and a doorbell camera, but have been experiencing issues since their installation. Firstly, there is a delay of 10-15 seconds on live playback, recording, and notifications which is very frustrating. I have contacted support multiple times, but no resolution has been provided yet. Secondly, the technical support team lacks follow-through and clear solutions that can be validated and acted upon. When I explain that I have already tried the methods they suggest, they keep repeating the same jargon. Thirdly, acquiring multiple cameras to secure your property can be expensive, and it would be helpful if local storage options were available across all their cameras, not just the higher-end ones. Lastly, the geofence automation doesn't register correctly.
