    I purchased this essential spotlight to add to my existing four Arlo pro three cameras . I’m impressed with the camera operations and the smart Arlo function that will tell you whether it’s animal, person or vehicle. I like that it gives you notifications and so many different aspects and bells and whistle’s. I would recommend this to a friend.

    Although the picture is good, I have connectivity problems with is camera. It was okay initially, but after 3 months, it is offline or unable to connect 1/3 of the time. I have removed and added it twice, but that only helps for a few days. My Arlo Pro 2 cameras are much more reliable.

    Cameras are very good, connection to iPhone is perfect. Battery life is perfect. But these are not compatible with other Arlo home bases. (as with my current home base) You must sign up for their monitoring monthly plans are “YOU WILL LOSE HALF THE CAMERAS FUNCTIONS” which makes them a joke. Or you must buy the base station that is compatible for hundreds of dollars. So Arlo gets you one way or another. I wish I could return them, DO NOT BUY! They are a money pit. NO I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE CAMERAS!
