    Camera works great to keep eye on kids while they are working from home for school. Extra layer of assurance and safety. And it lets us know if they are doing what are are suppose to

    Very disappointed. The battery isnt removable so you have to unscrew the camera from the mount and charge it OR pay the extra for a solar charger. Should've stuck with the Pro4

    Very easy setup and very clear video. Does require a monthly subscription to get 30 days of storage, which I recommend.

    Worst cameras! Do not buy these. Arlo product support is a nightmare, chat only no number to get a person. No directions for setup in box, battery is stated as 6 months-BS. The cameras were at 99% when we left for vacation and by day 5 of a week vacation, they are all DEAD and offline. Oh and they are NOT a live feed. You have to hit play in the APP every time you want to view the camera feed live. Worst kickback on sound when I try to talk through them on my iPhone Arlo App. Just buy something else, garbage.

    I purchased my Arlo Spotlight Camera with the idea of of ease installation, quality and use. The cameras works excellent and the viewing and recording software are easy to navigate which allows me enjoy my camera needs without difficulty or spending too much time. A wonderful product indeed and I highly recommend it. There are many competive camera systems on the market and after doing by research, I found Arlo products met all my surveillance and recording needs. I expect to buy more Arlo products.
