Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really like the Arlo Cameras. They are super easy to connect to the app. I have used Arlo cameras in the past but these are even better than the old ones. They suggest charging them first so they are fully charged when you install them. I don’t know how long they will last on a charge, but it will depend on a lot of things. How often they are activated, if the lights are activated, how cold it is, etc… My old Arlo cameras would easily last a couple months on a charge. I’m looking forward to seeing how long these last on a charge. From the app, when you go to devices, it will give you a static picture of the last time it recorded activity. It also displays the name of the camera. I named mine front of house and the direction it is facing. You can see the signal strength, battery state of charge as well as other functions. The cameras have a built in motion activated spotlight, an emergency siren and 2 way audio. In the bottom of the app there is a dashboard, feed, emergency, devices and routines section. The dashboard allows you to set it as arm away, arm home or standby. The feed section will record the activity and keep a log of activity. The emergency section will allow you to activate the siren. You can set it up to call someone when you activate the siren. Devices will show you the static photo of the last activity. You can press the play icon in the middle of the photo and it will show a live feed from the camera. Under Routines, there are Modes which will allow you to set up arm away, arm home, and standby routines. There is also Automations which will allow you to set up schedules or Arrive/Leave automations. I like just getting the alerts for when there is activity. I think Arlo is a solid product. With previous cameras you had to have a base. The new cameras no longer require a base. That makes them even easier to use. If you are looking for a wireless camera system, I think you would be happy with the Arlo product.

This is a professional grade system and may not be for everyone, it's a pricy system that will integrate well in a commercial application. There is no place to add a usb or sd card so a monthly subscription is necessary which can be quite pricy. But if you are in the Arlo echo system already with there wide array of products then you should already be familiar with the cost attached to there products. There is no need for a hub or router for the Essential 3rd gen series you only need a strong wi-fi signal to make this work well. I installed a camera in the back yard to give me a full view of our home about 25-35 feet and the clarity was superb even using the color nite vision mode 2k is deffinatly a plus at this distance. You can setup the camera to turn on spot light or not, some may use the spot light feature as a deterrent for unwanted guests, but to surprise capture you may want this feature turned off. This system sets up easy with the app you scan the QR code and it seamlessly walks you through the setup process. This system is pro-like in features maybe for a small or large business start up where cost maybe an object. You can start with the essential system and grow into there home of other products. So I consider this a win-win.

We got this Arlo Outdoor 2k Camera Bundle a few days ago and we are quite happy with them. Set up was very quick and easy. The most time consuming part was just getting the cameras all charged up. Once that was done I just installed the app, created an account, and linked the cameras. Once that was done it was time to install the mounts and hang the cameras. The way these cameras mount is well designed and super easy to attach and detach the cameras once the mount is set. Fine tuning the direction the camera faces once mounted was also easy and once set it seems to stay in position very well. Once it’s all set up we were able to enjoy full yard coverage with a very easy to use app. The motion detection can tell when it’s a human, animal (hit and miss on the chickens but spots dogs and cats consistently). The quality of the picture is good. Probably the weakest feature as far as quality is the speaker. You can speak thru the app to any of the cameras. The quality of the audio is on the lower end, but still intelligible. Batteries seem to be holding the charge great so far. It also includes a nice yard sign showing your property is protected by cameras. All in all I am very happy with this camera system. If I knew someone looking for an outdoor wireless camera system I would absolutely recommend them to a friend.

The Arlo Essential Outdoor Security Camera 2K 4-pack is an excellent package of performance and flexibility. Pros: - The cameras are all battery-powered and rechargeable. This is an excellent option for locations where you don't have a plug or don't want to run wires. - Camera resolution is 2k and very high quality. - Alerts are nearly instantaneous and there are a lot of flexible options for which alerts you want to receive. - Setup takes less than 10 minutes per wireless camera. - Seamlessly connects to 2ghz wireless network and the cameras stay connected. - Quick charge time. From unboxing to fully charged, it took approximately 80 minutes. - Free trial of enhanced protection which provide 2 months of video history (in the cloud so it doesn't take up storage on your phone or tablet). This includes Arlo's "Smart Detection" and 24/7 emergency response. - Multiple locations! Since these cameras are fully wireless, you can install them in different locations (for example: 2 at home, 2 at the cabin). - Includes a yard sign to deter potential criminal activity. Cons: - The app can be a little bit tricky. I have multiple cell phones, tablets, and an Apple Watch. I can only be logged into the app on one device at a time. - Notifications on Apple Watch can be very distracting, although you can choose which alerts you want to receive. I could not find a way to change the alerts sent to my primary iPhone other than mirroring the same alerts. Overall, the 4-pack of wireless 2k cameras is a great addition to my Arlo ecosystem. They can be used on their own or with your existing ecosystem. Highly recommended.

This is basically the same as buying 4 Arlo Essential cameras with an included warning sign. There are also 4 mounting brackets and a charging cord. You will need to have the Arlo app downloaded. I already had this because I have an Arlo security system and other cameras. I just had to add each of the 4 camera individually, then also add them as widgets to the main screen tab. You can also, do camera controls and views all from the app. Pairing the cameras were very easy and much simpler than other brand cameras I have paired. Arlo has been the simplest so far. Once charged and paired, the swivel mount is already part of the camera body. One just needs to install this mount, and the camera clicks into place. It can then be adjusted to focus where you want to monitor. Set up and mounting has really been thought through and is extremely intuitive. The cameras load quickly once the app is opened, and quality is rated at 2k, and is more than acceptable. You have options for color night view, siren and spot light. I did not find the night vision view that great, nor the spot light. I am sure if it came on it would at least get some attention, but did not make the camera view any better. Battery life seems good although I have not had these long enough to tell. After 4 days, i see 98% remaining. Each camera comes with a 30day subscription for cloud storage and some other enhancements. All in all, I find these cameras well thought out, very functional, and useful. I have 3 mounted outside and one in the garage.
