Terrible Battery Life
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Six month battery life my (insert curse word here). We've only had this two days, and the battery has died in the middle of the night both days. We use this as a baby monitor and was told by the Best Buy associate that the battery should last 4 months as a baby monitor. Definitely going to have to return this.

Posted .Hello Darklordvyperx,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your Arlo Essential Spotlight camera experience. We want clarify that this camera is not designed for baby monitoring as it will detect and record motion a lot that could drain its battery life quick. For your setup, we recommend getting an Arlo Baby camera.

Arlo Makes it Easy for Everyone to Have Security
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am extremely satisfied with the Arlo Spotlight Camera. The biggest reason why is stated right in the title of my review. It was extremely EASY to set up, and use this camera. Now I have peace of mind since I can check in on my packages, home, and most importantly my family. Setup was extremely easy. No wiring required so the camera is extremely flexible in where you can place it. It also includes a mount so you have everything you need to get started. I have tried it both indoors and out, and it works equally well in both. Getting started with the app was very straightforward. Picture quality is EXCELLENT. Much better than a similar camera I have used in the past. Night vision also has great clarity, and again is the best I have used. When outdoors I am easily able to check on when important packages have been delivered. I can also see any guests that come to the home. Notifications work great to let me know when there is something that needs my attention, and they are easily tailored to my preferences. When indoors I use it to check on my children, and my pets. It works great for this! In both scenarios the ability to talk to them through the two way communication is priceless. I am extremely pleased with how easy it is to use this Arlo Spotlight Camera. I plan to add more in the future, and I highly recommend this to everyone for the price, ease of use, and the quality you get. Thanks Arlo!
