I wish you didn’t have to pay to use them. They give you a 30 day free trial. I wish it had more mounting brackets. It only allows for straight mounting. No way to mount to the soffits with what is provided.

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

Easy to install and good quality good price love that they night vision

Very good quality of the cameras, perfect resolution.

Security system is perfect. We got a lot of bang for our buck, set up was very easy and the video quality is good. Only down side to this is that the battery doesn’t stay charged long.

Love the cameras! They work exactly as I need my outdoor cameras to work. Super long battery life! Great wifi range! Only thing I am not a fan of is the app in terms of setting up the time frames for each camera. It is really confusing ever since the update. The old way of scheduling the cameras was much easier. I am not sure what in the world is going on now so I just have to keep them on all the time, which is annoying for notifications but it is what it is.

This has been absolutely the best. The setup and installation was an absolute breeze. Video quality, voice chat, spotlight, and battery life are top tier. My cameras been up for about 2 weeks now and the battery life hasn’t even dropped below 60%. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

I have been using Arlo cameras since 2016, but my first gen cameras reached End of Life status last fall. I replaced them with this model and have found them adequate. Here are some pros and cons. Pros - I like the increased resolution and the light that can be set to come on when motion is detected. It is also nice to have sound detection. Cons - I do not like having to remove the camera entirely while it charges. It would have been great to instead have a rechargeable battery pack to exchange so I would only have one trip up the ladder. Also, the mount does not allow the camera sufficient movement to always catch the right angle. My biggest gripe, however, is the new software as I was forced to upgrade to an entirely new version for these cameras. To this day, I still cannot get the “home” and “away” functionality to work nor can I get the schedule to work successfully with each “mode”. Unlike the old application, the new application is simply not very intuitive. They do get the job done, but I do feel like Arlo has taken a few steps backward with this implementation.

The cameras are great. The reason for 4 stars is due to battery drainage quickly.

Good cameras but they must be charged… I would rather them be wired or longer battery life.

The 2K cameras provides clear and detailed video, especially noticeable with color night vision Pretty easy to install and pretty easy to pair

I am happy with the way the cameras work. They are Great cameras and work great. The only problem is that you cant use them without paying for a subscription.

Great system, easy to use and easy setup. Only downfall is the battery dies quickly if the sensitivity is up at all

We've had Arlo for almost 5 1/2 years. The clarity and field of view were awesome. My older cameras are finally given out so I got the 2nd Generation Essential and they are just as good. For the money, I won't get anything other than Arlo! Once my sister saw the field of view between Arlo and another brand, she switched to Arlo also and is ecstatic!

These cameras offer a high quality image and reasonably good battery life. The main drawback is the limited swivel of the mount. These cameras would be much easier to place if the mount had a stem that would allow it to move like the solar panels have.

Wished the view was a little wider but works well, easy to install and value priced.

Great use. The set up was very easy. Downfall to them would be having to take them off to charge since they are wireless. I ended up buying the solar panel for them. That was also a easy set up.

Great Camera with easy to use interface. For a budget camera system, Arlo offers amazing quality

Great camera, trial subscription was everything, it will persuade you to subscribe and not lose the luxury. Battery life is not the greatest! Very clear video especially in the daytime.

Great product I wish it was how it use to be the subscription service is the only sad thing for me
