    Capture Clarity:The Camera You've Been Waiting for

    After setting up this camera, I've consistently enjoyed real-time live feed without any lag. I also have a home security system from another brand, but I'm seriously thinking about making a switch. The installation process was incredibly straightforward and quick; I had it up in just 10 minutes, including the time it took to fetch my ladder and drill. The accompanying app is great for staying connected and updated. If you're unsure, don't second-guess—this is the camera to choose!

    Great Little Camera

    Works great. Very good video and decent audio. App is super easy to set up camera and use. The only negative part is that you have to pay $2.99 a month per camera for video on the cloud. You get 3 months for free, but then it’s a subscription. For that reason we ended up returning and going with a different camera system all together. Otherwise, I would have bought more Arlo cameras. The 10 days I had it installed, the battery remained full, and it worked great. We installed this in a heated shop with a wireless access point so the WiFi signal was very strong. It’s super quick and easy to “unarm” the camera so your not getting alerts if you’re going to be working around camera. If the subscription thing wasn’t a surprise, I think the Arlo is a good option for a wireless camera.

    This camera gets the job done . If you need something to monitor activity, it does a good job. The only con is that you have to take it down in order to charge it vs just swapping out a battery.

    Initial set up wirh Andriod was a night mare. Developers should have tested before releasing in for purchase. Once i connect to my IOS device, it was a breeze. I am one of the happy customers with the Quality and clarity.

    For the price you can't beat the Arlo camera's. The Essential Camera is easy to set-up and can use without a base. The night vision is great.

    Camera give a nice clear picture. Easy to install and operate. Batteries don't last long, need recharging in a high traffic area or buy long plug in cord for it so you don't have to worry about it. Nice design.
