Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have these cameras at my home and they work flawlessly. They have been on spot with alerts on and are nice to catch up with some live as well as recorded footage. They are clear and sound recording is also good. When I interact through them they are loud and clear to deliver my voice. I strongly recommend these…

These cameras are easy to install, look great, and are very effective. The notification system is also very easy to use and I am just so impressed with everything from Arlo so far. I am not looking at some interior cameras and a doorbell camera as well!

I’ve had the ring and This Arlo is just as good if not better than that one! It picks up anything that comes on my porch which is where I have it set up at also alerts me about the weather!

I like this camera as well as the other cameras in my Arlo system. The spotlight is a very valuable feature.

The video is good quality but the delay the camera has with notifications is super slow and it takes for ever for you to review the footage. I can pull into my driveway and get out and walk inside before it ever shows the video. I have the fastest internet and and my modem is top of the line that’s been replaced recently so I know it’s not my internet connection.

I'm impressed with all the features in such a compact design. The audio and video are superb.

We purchased a 4 camera system... 3 of these cameras work great very easy to set up. The 4th camera will not recoginze or even connect. Spent 1 hour on chat support and still did not resolve. Got back in touch with support few days later and was told would replace the camera. Currently still waiting on Arlo to send email to replace. The app works great and cameras work great. Very Happy with that. The process of getting the replacement is slow.

The Arlo Essential Spotlight camera is everything I need in an easy-to-use, relatively inexpensive package. The camera was super simple to set up and, since I don't care for adding more components than necessary to my home network, I especially like that it has its own Wi-Fi radio and doesn’t require a hub. Once up and running -- which takes all of 5 minutes...10 if you include the time it takes to install the mount near your door/whatever -- the camera delivers sharp video. The Arlo app also is quite simple to use and offers a full slate of options to adjust the camera's settings/operation, including the ability to turn the camera on and off; check the battery level; turn the spotlight on/off; adjust video brightness, low-light settings, and audio settings; and create activity zones and person/animal/package detection.

This camera is pretty simple to use and the quality of the videos are outstanding! The only complaint I have is that because the battery is built in the camera, I have to get up on my ladder to take them down to charge it and that gets to be a hastle pretty quick. Eventually I'll have to invest in the solar panel to charge them. Also, the battery life is not as advertised. Out of 9 days of usage, my cameras batteries are on average 33 to 48% left

This is a great camera for a decent price. Even though a Base Station is not required, we still routed the new camera(s) through our Base Station so that all of the cameras are in the same place. It was a snap to set up and the quality is fantastic!

A few things would make this camera even better! It would be nice to be able to group cameras in the app so that they could be easily turned on/off and also just have different designations (i.e., inside vs. outside, etc). I would also really like to be able to set the retrigger time. I get many notifications that are just about the same event--if I could set retrigger time, that would help to ameliorate the issue.

This camera is great! It has color night vision and even better, you can buy them individually which is affordable. I also have Arlo pro 2 cameras which are nice but this camera is much better! Will definitely buy more.

We needed more security. This camera delivers clarity and is easy to set up and use.

Good quality. I would recommend purchase. Keeps house updated

i purchased the 4 pack Essential cameras - i freaking love it! the battery is last longing. the sensory is great! i love that as soon as someone enters the camera sensor the light off the camera turns on and starts recording. video quality is great! no bad videos

This camera system is absolutely amazing! It has a a wonderful video quality. The range of motion for the base is great and allows you to angle to camera very easily unlike others. The app is very user friendly as well.

The Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera is okay. Setup was a pain due to it only working on 2.4ghz network. I had to create a Hotspot using my cellphone then disconnect it to reconnect to my home network in order for it to work. Then it still would constantly disconnect and not work for days, and then would randomly start to work. Also the battery does not last very long. Over all, I don't know if I'd purchase any more Arlo products after my experience with this camera.

I purchased 4 of these cameras per recommendation of a close friend. I have not a single complaint. Camera quality is crisp. Battery life is long. Clear microphone. Spotlight is really bright. Installation was easy peasy. I put off installing cameras because I didn’t want to go through the headache of hardwiring, not knowing about these or any wireless cameras. Im just very very pleased with these. I hardly write reviews as I feel most things only meet my expectations so it’s not worth a review but these absolutely EXCEEDED my expectations so here I am. I hope whoever is reading finds this review helpful. Very happy about these!!

This camera far exceeded our expectation. The setup was a breeze, quality is amazing, and the spotlight and alarm features are an added bonus! We went with this camera over some of the other brands and are so glad we did!

I have only had it about a week but I love it already and have been looking to getting more. Love that it tells me if it is motion or an actual person it is detecting.
