The video quality is surprisingly good but the mounts for the cameras are cheaply built

Very difficult to set up and maintain the connection to the devices. Much of the features like zones and connection tests didn’t work. I may return them if i can’t fix these issues

Excellent camera. Easy to set up and link to your account. Night vision is very bright and has the option to turn on the spot light. It does glitch from time to time and needs to be reset, but it can be reset remotely. Video quality overall is great. The only issue I have is with the accessories. The outdoor power wire works well but is pricy. The solar pannel is useless. It doesnt put out enough power to maintain charge.

I have an existing Arlo system with older Pro cameras and one Pro4. Recently added Essential Outdoor 2nd Gen. The battery life on the Essential Outdoor is HORRIBLE. Lasts maybe 1/5th the amount of time of the older Pro and Pro4 batteries. No greater activity on the Essential than on the other cameras, and same video quality. Just really bad battery life.

The security cameras are awesome. They are the best Best ones that are out there in the market right now at Best Buy. They have a wonderful deal going on right now $187 A big savings of $190 I picked up a pack. argue this carry cameras, a five diamond no one could beat that I was you. I would hurry up and go get two or three boxes of last on sale. Thank you very much. Arlo

Very good cameras, they work very well and the image quality is very good. It also helps a lot if you are not at home and want to check on your property from a distance. Excellent product.

The camera gets good images. My only complaint is that the notifications are delayed by almost a whole minute. Unless the intruder stays and puts on a show, he/she can take my package and leave before I get the notification.

I purchased this camera to put outside of the Airbnb I own. It was easy to install, great video quality, and the app is super easy to use. I really like that it notifies me every time someone/thing moves in front of it.
