Nice camera but requires a subscription
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera works very well. Easy to set up and works without a hub. Main drawback is that you have to pay if you want alerts and recordings. They give you a trial subscription.

I love how easy the mobile app works. So happy!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love how "frictionless" it is to use the Arlo Essential cameras with my iPhone. I did a TON of research before I chose Arlo. I needed a security system that was flexible, scalable and mindlessly easy. I have no regrets. I would like to suggest though, that the Arlo team reviews their online support content, because it "seems" there are some older "help" sections that may be in need of an update, or need added content to support the newer models. All in all, I am super, super happy!
