    I love knowing that I can go on my phone and be able to check on my house. The volume for the mic on the indoor camera does not work though.

    I’ve used the Arlo q for years and was very excited to see another wired camera be released. The shutter is a nice feature, and the lense area of view is much improved over some of my older Arlos.

    NOT COMPATIBLE

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

    Purchased as replacement to several year old Pro 2 camera. It is not compatible with the old system. It is very difficult to figure out which cameras work with which systems. Arlo should add something to their web-site to help with the compatibility issue.

    Took me awhile to connect to my Wi-Fi due to weak Wi-Fi in our home. But once I found a good place, it works good.
