We purchased 2 cameras, but only 1 worked with finding our connection. We returned it to the store 3 weeks later (as we were out of town), but was told that they could not accept the return since it was over 14 days; we needed to pursue a replacement with Arlo directly. Only 1/2 cameras worked, so the sum total is 50%: average.

The camera quality is very good for the price. Notifications are a bit slow, even with a base station.

Good indoor camera (2023 Arlo camera)

I bought this camera in 2023 and it worked as advertised. The old app/interface was also very easy to use.
NB This is different from the similar but newer "Arlo Indoor 2K", which was glitchy and also forced an app upgrade (upgraded app very bad), so I gave it a bad review.
