6/10
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall camera quality, functionality, and battery life is solid. But the subscription price + camera settings are a headache. The specifics of the camera settings don’t actually make a difference in regards to the notifications and makes a lot of the security system in itself feel pointless. Camera quality if spot on but I don’t even got a notification so walk up to my door and knocks on it. I’ll get a notification if a car 50 yards away. It drives by my house.

They are okay, read the fine print.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are okay. But having to charge them all the time may become tedious. If you set the up to record all the time they run the battery down. But if you set them up to record only when there is motion then the battery last longer. Kind of a catch 22 if you know what I mean.

Battery life is terrible + cant trade out battery
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This set seemed like a good deal. Well sometimes things are too good to be true! My old arlo camera set worked much better that i bought in 2017. I assumed with new technology that i would get better battery life! And the best buy associate didn’t know her product and told me i could buy extra batteries for these cameras. Well guess what??!! These cameras do not allow for interchangable batteries. The battery is attached to the camera only and you cant trade/change them out. The battery life is terrible. It lasts about 3 weeks. Ugh! Charging each camera takes about 6 hours+. And Arlo provides you one cable to charge 4 cameras. I expect much more from Arlo. This is why this set is on sale! Too much maintenance and difficult to maintain. Buy soemthing else.

Very poor battery life
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Arlo Essential 2nd Gen review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I give these cameras 3 stars for the following reasons . The video qaulity is decent , but It doesn't look 2K to me . The sound has a weird echo/feedback quality that almost sounds like its recording in a cave . There is no adjustment for the sensitivity level of the sound activation , so every gust of wind causes the cameras to record thus draining battery levels . These are sealed units , so there is no way to swap out batteries like the Pro Models . I guess when the battery fails , you throw them away , or have to mail them in for service . You also have to aim them away from the wall of the house if you have reflective brick , or siding , or the spotlight reflection blinds the camera . They get the job done , but I like my Pro and Pro 2 cameras better .

Indoor outdoor camera
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has an excellent picture, I love the light with it. The night vision is awesome.. the only thing I didn’t like about it was that it would not record after its trial. Ran out, forces you to buy plan.
