    The cameras are good. I did return them because I wanted to hook them up to a tv and it’s not possible with these cameras. Best Employees told me I could but they are wrong. My rating is for the cameras.

    Pretty good cameras at detecting when someone or a car pasdes by. The only thing negative about it is that the cameras die out of battery real quick. Store employee told us they last about a week but in reality they last only like 2 days and then you have to charge them again.

    Battery life/trial period

    I had the original Arlo cameras and I bought these to replace the older original version (bough in 2015). These newer cameras don’t hold a battery charge over 2 weeks when placed in a “busy” area. To charge the camera you must remove from the mount and a full charge can take up to 4 hours. After the initial trial version expired I was no longer able to see any activity that my cameras captured. To see any activity I would need to purchase a plan which I never had to with the original set or arlo cameras. The only positive I liked about this newer set is the two way audio, sound and picture quality. So, unless you’re open to purchasing a plan to view recording history, I do not recommend.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
