Customer Ratings & Reviews

Cheap plastic. Motion detection works 2/3rds of the time. Battery has to be changed once a week. Don’t waste your money. I’m

i wouldn't recommend it. their customer support is nill. their explanations of how to use them are poor. I would go with a company that is tying into a hardwired company with their wireless. The bigger the company the better.

We just need this camera to show us what critters are coming around & leaving us presents at night. :-D It does that just nicely. Setup was pretty easy, both mounting and getting them on our network. Fine product!

Nice camera for the money. Only wish directions and operations were easier. I had to learn as I used it.

We recently purchased a three-pack of the Essential Spotlight Cameras to monitor our house and living room. Setup was very straight forward and after some customization, we were able to monitor most of our property and house. Having seen other home security options that require extensive installation, it's amazing what all you get for a couple of hundred bucks. We will definitely be looking to purchase more Arlo cameras in the future.

I have two of these cameras set up and they have good video and sound quality and were very easy to setup

I’m very pleased with my cameras , they work great and now I know I made the right decision with this purchase

The camera installation has been easy. The mounting bracket is easy to install and allows the camera in many positions. There are many settings and I am still trying to figure them all out.

I like it color and sound good for weather outside. I think everyone should have these camera

I purchased the plug-in version of the Arlo Pro for my garage to let people in and out as they call - I also have the Arlo doorbell and two battery-powered cameras (do not recommend). I didn't sign up for a subscription, I didn't need it. After working for 3 years, they now require a subscription for me to use the live camera. Not sure what I'm subscribing for. I don't want storage space, it's a straight port through on my WiFi. It wasn't required at purchase and now I have a $250 boat anchor. I have Nest and I have a Lorex POE system at work. The Lorex is by far the better camera and the POE system is great but they have lagged behind on their interface which is very clunky. Once they get that sorted out, it's good by Arlo - which had been my second choice. It's just another minor aggravation from a tech company because they can. Two other online companies messed up orders and refused to do the basic things to resolve an issue of their doing today. It's the collective annoyance and the tech sector that's getting out of control. You can not even chat with a person now. You have to go through some time-wasting AI chat that NEVER gives you the answers. Consumers' only outlet is to complain on sites like this. I'd sign up for a class action. It's really like throwing $500 out the window.

So far so good, everything was shipped as advertised, we’re very happy with the cameras. Would recommend.

When I made a recent move, I left behind my older generation cameras and hub. In looking to purchase for my new home, I immediately turned to Arlo again. The newer cameras are fabulous, and I love not having to have a wired hub to operate them. It makes it so much easier, and that's one less thing tethered to my wi-fi router. Super easy to install and setup. I 100 percent recommend these cameras.

This product WILL NOT RECORD without paying a monthly subscription fee to Arlo. And on top of that I have had two of these cameras for less than 2 months and they are already malfunctioning. Factory reset did nothing. They’re expensive paper weights. Don’t expect me to pony up that subscription fee for cameras that don’t work. Waste of money. Don’t buy.

This camera is very easy to set up. The hardest part was just trying to decide where to position it on the outside front of our house. The software is pretty much intuitive and does not require a steep learning curve. I'm glad that I didn't have to be a "techie" to get this to work.

Great cameras I recommend them. Affordable and easy set up.

These things have great picture, easy set-up all the way around. Will be purchasing more

The quality is good overall. Night vision is not the best and if there's alot of activity battery is only going to last a few weeks instead of a few months as they state.

Love it! It gives me alerts for everything and it is very clear you can see everything

So far I've had my Arlo Essential camera about a week and it's working well. I have tailored it to fit our needs we are very pleased. The microphone and video clarify are top notch. Playing the video back is a key feature. The App allows you to change settings and adjust what work for you. Yes I'd recommend this product as a few family members did to me.. our family loves Arlo Essential Camera.

I had an incident a year ago when some random dude in my backyard was peaking through my girl's windows. The night vision was amazing and the police were able to identify the perp with the footage I provided them in just a couple of hours. Awesome resolution and detail even with night vision. This camera did its job when I needed it to.
