    It's an alright quality camera, you get what you pay for. Limited mounting options and an app that isn't intuitive make this camera Limited in its utility. But again for what you pay for you get a working camera

    I have 10 Wireless Battery Arlo cameras currently, and I decided to order two new plug in cameras for inside the house. I am pleased with the cameras, especially the fact that you can close the privacy shutter, and you also do not need a hub to operate these. The price was also very good!

    Great video quality and easy to use app. And I really like the animal vs person vs car identification feature. But they’re a little finicky when hooking up to the Wi-Fi. It can take a few tries, but I eventually got them up and running.

    Arlo home security cameras can give you peace of mind when you're sleeping or away from home, especially if they're outdoors where they can spot intruders before a break-in. Plus, if someone does get into your home, the camera's footage can aid police in their investigation.

    Overall a good buy except for the fact it requires a subscription to operate like my wireless cameras. Without a subscription it will not record video. It will allow you to see live feed but won’t record.

    Never used it but looks great. I didn’t realize it was wired until I got home so I returned it without trying it. But I did get to see it in the box and it’s a very good looking cam and this brand is the best I’ve owned a few other ones

    Great camera. Setup was easy. Picture quality is good and alerts are intuitive. My eco system leverages an arlo base for external cams. But i set this up outside base. That allows flexibility on config. Nice overall product.

    I love the wired indoor camera! I use it at my mothers assisted living to make sure of who is coming in her room and also to make sure she is always alright. And its a super + that it has the sound on it. Wired is the best, no more changing batteries

    Needed another indoor camera - you need to plug it in! But, clear pictures & responsive. Most of what we have for security cameras are Arlo cameras. Thanks, J Gibson
