Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great product for me and my wife. It gives us peace of mind.

I really like your product. I like the fact that these are rechargable.

Starting with the setup, it was fast and easy as usual, at least it always has been for me. I already have a base and two original Arlo Pro cameras and adding this gave me no issues. I linked it to the base, unscrewed & unplugged my previous camera I had mounted on the side of the house outside, screwed and plugged this one in using the existing mount and wire and was done. As for the positives, I really like the wider angle this offers. I see way more than I previously did with my older model and with less "fish eye" distortion too. Going to 1080p up from 720p does make a pretty significant difference. Although the 720p model was pretty clear considering overall, the 1080p really helps most for nighttime video. Combined with the spotlight that allows for color video you get a good picture at night. Daytime video is great and indeed captures a crisp and clear picture. Things aren't perfect though. I feel the spotlight is a bit weak. I thought it would be brighter on the outside and as for the video feed itself, I had to turn the camera brightness all the way up to really see anything at night and even then my original Arlo Pro regular night vision may have been better in terms of contrast/brightness and again, that's only 720p. The Essential Spotlight does have a more clear picture though. A trade off of using the color nighttime video feature is things have to be closer to get a more clear look. Details fade over distance quickly. Also, while the color is nice, it's not vibrant. It's a more muted color so don't expect too much on this model. It's worth noting certain previous features are no longer available. Audio detection is no longer an option and the battery is no longer removable. I don't use the audio detection and nor do I ever need to remove the battery to charge so these are non-issues to me personally. It also came with a free 3 month trial of Arlo Smart which I haven't used before until now and so far I like it although I'm still having issues receiving some notifications. I followed a tutorial and all my settings are indeed correct so hopefully it's just a bug that will eventually get fixed. I'm not sure whether or not I'll keep it but one thing that's worth mentioning is this is one of the last Arlo models that does NOT require Arlo Smart. You still get the rolling 7 day cloud storage which is all I ever need. Pros: Crisp picture, wide angle view Spotlight that allows color picture at night Still get free 7 day rolling cloud storage (Some models don't now) Cons: No audio detection rule Battery not removable

Great cameras and so easy to set up!!! A few minutes and I was all set up.

I love it! With the new arlo, there is no need for a base any more.

Good product and easy installation. Worth the money for the package.

Love these camera's. Bought for my daughters home as I have my own.

Purchase this as an add-on to my Arlo Pro4 cameras

Works great, covers a large area...I’d recommend this product...

Great camera long battery life I have several of these.

Love the light. Keeps the bad people away. Much clearer than the Pro 2

Terrible battery life. They advertised 'up to six months' on a charge. I got under 3 days. Technically they are not incorrect. Three days does fall in the 'up to six months' range. Because were on the extreme low end of thst range, I decided to return these cameras and look for a better option.

The best invention ever! One plus does equal 2. Everyone knows that.

I can't get one camera to sync up to my wifi, I've done everything I can with it. The other ones work fine,

Great spotlight camera. Also have the doorbell. Does the job

Love it. Nothing else to say. It’s a great camera.

I love my cameras. The camera is clear and very useful

Cameras are set with medium sensitivity and battery don’t last like it says

I wish I would of never purchased these. The battery runs out so fast and these are to expensive to have to keep recharging. I have to purchase more equipment from the company to keep the battery running. Also, I have to purchase a monthly plan to use them. I wish I would of purchased blinks.

Camera does not record after your 3 month free subscription, you only get notifications of activity. Waste of money. They are selling you a camera that does not record?
