    Bought arlo doorbell camera and two essentials security cameras. Plan needed after 90 days of great coverage. However, u can't focus your cameras on much of an area, that requires charging every 3 days or so, which is not convenient. Also, one camera is already completely dead, and I'm still being charged for three cameras although only two are operational! Beware!!!!

    Easy to install. Good image quality. Easy to use app. Ability to set notifications based on the camera trigger (motion, animal, person, etc) is a bonus; otherwise, I would get 300 notifications a day due to wind.

    Good cameras. Easy setup! I have a floodlight as well. If you have a lot of flow in the cameras the battery drain quickly. You need to pay for Subscription after 3 months are up. Unless you have a base station which is an extra $100.

    Really good clarity and easy to work the system. Only problem is battery life. Needs to be a bit longer. Had them a month and battery went down to 38%. Left them on most of the time just as a test for long trips of bring away.

    Camera output is great. Battery is not. Claims the battery last 6 months or more, but it doesn't last more than 2 weeks. So, good camera, bad battery.

    very good idea without hub, but the battery is not enough. I am using it in my parking lot, the use is average and the battery only lasts 3 days It also disconnects from the Wi-Fi very often that is a major problem, it is very annoying.
