    A great, cost effective wireless home security solution. The 2K quality is very detailed and streams well on our wifi regardless of placement. I like to have an overall view of our property which the arlo app allows you to watch multiple streams at once. Highly recommend, especially as they seem to be on sale relatively often.

    Works very well for the price point I bought it at, is it the best? No, but it works pretty well and I recommend it. Battery power is good unless it's in a high traffic area than it needs a charge once a week.

    easy to install & I called their support to ask a question regarding charging & they answered right away & gave me my answer. The app was easy to use & you get notified when people, animals, or motion occur. You can also talk to a person at your door.

    Easy to install and app is pretty straightforward. A full charge lasts only about 3 weeks, so that puts me up and down a ladder in 4 locations (I am a 72 yr old female). Sometimes recognizes cars as animals! But, overall, does the job.

    Love Alro products. Used an older version for 8 years before the cameras stopped charging. The newer version is not as user friendly as the old, but I'm getting use to it. Battery life seems good for as much activity as I have on these new cameras.

    I’m so impressed with this camera system! The setup was super simple, the picture quality is crystal clear day or night, and the wireless design makes it easy to place anywhere. I love being able to check in from my phone and get instant alerts when there’s movement. It gives me real peace of mind knowing my home is protected. Highly recommend!

    They’re decent cameras. The quality is good. You have to pay for a subscription after 30 days to keep videos and it’s honestly not terribly expensive. We live by a busy street so they’re always turning on which means they die pretty quick and take awhile to charge.

    Crappy Tech support and expensive subscription

    The cameras are fine. Work as intended. I wish I had done a little more research into the fact that you had to have a subscription in order to get any kind of recording from the camera. The cheapest one is $20 a month which I find a little high, all I wanna do is to be able to review the recordings when I get an alert that is not an option without a subscription. The tech-support is pretty crappy as well. Half the time the person on the other end doesn’t seem to know the system or you have to wait for hours and hours for a response.

    This is a really nice security set. It has enough cameras to use inside and outside to have all angles of the house covered and the yard sign is a nice addition. They are easy to install and use with the app

    I really wanted to give this at least 4 stars but the battery life only last 3-5 days and that's without utilizing live mode or night vision with color. Otherwise, the other features and crystal clear video are both excellent!

    Awesome picture and i love how it automatically detects what it picked up in the motion like it will say animal if it sees an animal it won't just say motion detected
