    Perfect Puppy Cam! Have 5 Arlos and a doorbell at home and wanted an Arlo solution for watching our pups at vacation stops. Bought Arlo Essential to watch the pups in their kennels while we were out of the house. Set up was a breeze, these are truly plug & play. It works on the WiFi at the site and I could connect and watch them from my Arlo app. When we went to another location, it connected easily to the local WiFi. Glad Arlo came out with this product.

    Arlo makes good cameras. Features depend heavily on the subscription. Customer support is weak. I accidentally deleted some records. They confirmed they had them but refused to reinstate them. No explanation for this policy, especially for new customers.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I was using the canary brand of indoor cameras and was satisfied with them until they wanted a large fee just to see history, I have Arlo for all my outdoor surveillance needs and decided to get indoor cameras from Arlo and am very pleased with the quality of video much better than canary and no fees to see daily history. I highly recommend.
