Ok.can be better
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy setup but not meant for high traffic areas as battery drain quickly. I like sometime but not all the time. Google Nest Cam better if you have time to install.
I would recommend this to a friend Arlo for me
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Arlo pro for a few years and needed to expand my coverage. These exactly fit the bill. Instead of cost of batteries I just plug them in and recharge them about every 6 weeks. Easy install and setup. Extra activity zones are a nice add as was the two way communication and the light. I added solar panels to the cameras that were far from plugs and they have always stayed charged up. Very pleased with these cameras.

It’s okay
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s okay. At first I love it but then it started giving me issues. The screw gets stuck and the camera dies within 4 days even with those zones.

Posted .Hi Lanaanakk, The Essential spotlight camera battery lasts up to 6 months with Average use. Average use assumes that you are using Optimized or Best Battery Life video settings and that your cameras record for approximately five minutes per day. Too many triggers such as heavy traffic may cause the battery to drain much more rapidly. You can try adjusting your cameras positioning to lowering the sensitivity to a desired level to help with unwanted motion detection. Regards, Arlo Team

Not satisfied
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery hardly lasts :( Arlo pro so much better. Tried to contact customer service for Arlo and they weren't much help. Had to follow their script. Still waiting to see what can be done, but definitely would not purchase again! and I bought 2 of them! So not just a defect with this one
