||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality video, easy to setup. The spot light doesn't help for cameras mounted up higher except for a deterrent to let people know there is a camera watching them. I would recommend to others looking. My main reason to get these was the wireless so I didn't have to go in the attic to run any wires for power or network.

Addition
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Arlo essentials is pretty good. We have the ultra and this addition works pretty good with it, the only difference is this one u need screws to attach to the wall the ultra has the magic ones that don’t need screws and a magnet in them that hold the camera in place. Over all pretty good.

Would not recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras have good video quality but I bought them to upgrade from my old Arlo system thinking the up to 6 month battery life would be a huge plus. These need to be charged every 3-4 weeks. Also, I read that I could use my existing base station to avoid having to pay the smart subscription service and these will not connect to my base station.

- Pros mentioned:Ease of use
Works as described!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Arlo camera. This is my second camera and this one came without a base station which is waaaay easier to start using. The spotlight feature is also really good. With the Arlo app, you’re all set and it’s very easy to use. I like how it tells you whether it is capturing an animal, vehicle or a person.
