    I purchased this one because it is the least expensive one, however the quality is not that great and it keeps freezing.

      Hello Yola2009t,

      Thank you for your purchase and we appreciate you for sharing your experience about the product. We want to let you know that there could be few different factors as to why your camera is freezing. If you experience this behavior when streaming live, we recommend checking the connection of the camera from your router and ensure that the signal strength is excellent. Also, test your network speed and see if it meets the requirement needed : https://kb.arlo.com/000062043/.

    Buyer beware.

    Worthless customer service. The cameras constantly drop offline and it’s a nightmare to get them to pair again. The result, two smashed cameras. If I would have known how inconsistent these cameras were, I would have paid a Security company to install a direct wire system. These work for a little while, but then they quit. If the power flickers or the internet goes down, the cameras or base station doesn’t automatically connect when it comes back on. Therefore, you have to go around manually re-pairing all of your cameras. So if you’re out of town, your cameras are off until you get back to set them back up. Total pain in the butt. They say with the premium subscription, which I have, you get to talk to an actual customer service rep, but they offer zero help.

    DO NOT BUY ANY ARLO PRODUCTS

    These products are not worth the price and are not reliable. They are often offline and lack recordings. Every time you contact them, the last resort will be RMA (return merchandise authorization) and you have to pay for the shipping fee even if you are still under 1 year warranty.
