Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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

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.

Love the arlo camera Put it on my patio to look at my backyard Price was great for 2 Only have to charge maybe once a month for a hour

Cameras work great. Installation and setup was very easy. Could not be more pleased.

Nice cameras, easy to install and setup, excellent night vision

Love our cameras. They have a really good picture. They die kinda fast but we have 3 so usually charge one at a time .

Simple to install. Good range of vision and sound. Good and affordable investment that gives me peace of mind in adding a layer of security for my family's safety.

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

Solid performance from the Arlo brand, after having tried Eufy and Amcrest solutions prior. They are simple to pair and follow the instructions, and work great with any solar panel ive thrown at them. The point I took off is that these do not (at the time of this post) allow you to join Gen 2 to a hub, they only will connect directly to wifi. This is fine but I'd like to expose them to HomeKit like I do my 1st gens. If this isn't a problem for you, or you don't use HomeKit, then just buy them now and thank me later.

The cameras great but 2 months in and one already is not functioning correctly. It won’t turn on despiste being charged

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

The Arlo cameras were a great purchase! The only thing we don’t love is that we have to plug it up to charge so we have to keep an extension chord close by. But overall it is a really good camera set up. We easily have all of the family members logged in on the app. And the set up of the cameras was very simple. The app is easy to use to see old footage and a live view. Overall a really good purchase!

I would not recommend these cameras. After 30 days, the arlo cameras will not work effectively without their service plan. (Which is pricey considering how terrible the connectivity of this unit is.) However there is no where on the box that indicates that a service plan is REQUIRED. They will send a notification that motion has been detected, but you do not have quick way of seeing what that motion is unless you have them up live! Connectivity is also a problem. Battery life is horrible. These cameras were bought as a replacement for an older Arlo--that did NOT require a service plan. Those allowed images to save to a feed. These Essential 2 Cameras are totally useless. I would give them 0 stars if I could. Biggest waste of money and they offer no security for the home they were purchased for. Oh, and customer service is only available if you have a purchase subscription! No plan...you get the ai bot.

very pleased with these cameras quality of picture and video.great product and batteries stay charged for a very long time.very pleased with the ease of install.

Good cameras. The quality is good and images are fairly clear. Although you need to charge them very frequently.

Good product, easy to set and provides a peace of mine.

Unless you want to climb a ladder every three days to them plug your camera in to charge for hours and hours then this is the camera for you! this is my second camera because the first one wouldn’t even charge anymore after we had a rain storm which these cameras specifically are meant for outdoors. the new one the battery has only held a charge for three days when advertise hold battery life for at least two months even at max usage. I’ve contacted Arlo and they inform me it’s because of my power adapter that I’m using which is a 5V. 3A not a 5v 2a. I was told my 3A was a fast charger, which it is not and so therefore that is affecting the battery life. Which makes no sense because I use the exact same power adapter to charge my Arlo essential first generation spotlight outdoor camera and it is still maintaining its battery life atxa normal rate. like I said, I’ll probably return this camera. As far as the video quality it’s nice. I can’t complain.

The camera was just what I expected but the camera itself does not hold the views too long has to recharge often but besides that it is very easy to use and it is very helpful.......
