    Good quality video, easy to setup. The spot light doesn't help for cameras mounted up higher except for a deterrent to let people know there is a camera watching them. I would recommend to others looking. My main reason to get these was the wireless so I didn't have to go in the attic to run any wires for power or network.

    Arlo essentials is pretty good. We have the ultra and this addition works pretty good with it, the only difference is this one u need screws to attach to the wall the ultra has the magic ones that don’t need screws and a magnet in them that hold the camera in place. Over all pretty good.

    I love Arlo camera. This is my second camera and this one came without a base station which is waaaay easier to start using. The spotlight feature is also really good. With the Arlo app, you’re all set and it’s very easy to use. I like how it tells you whether it is capturing an animal, vehicle or a person.
