    Ive bought two of these. It was tricky to set up the first one and took me a very long time to get it to sync. The second one took me less than 15 minutes and was very easy. Both work as they should, apps easy to use and notifications are immediately. Battery lasts anywhere from 1-3 months depending on usage.

    Camera is ok. Bigger battery doesn’t necessarily mean longer battery life. I loved my Arlo wireless pro that was included in the free 7 day cloud storage, not so much the Arlo spotlight camera. Night vision is great but again if you want to be able to view recordings, you have to pay a subscription. The forever dying battery is annoying.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Camera quality is pretty fuzzy, and battery life is not as long as I would have hoped (I have to charge my cameras every week). Also the subscription service to access backlogged video and pictures is $11/month after the first three months, so bear that in mind. Other than that, the cameras are decent compared to other brands. Maybe just spend the extra money for the 2k or 4k options, or another higher end security cam if you need really fine detail.
