    Why didn’t I upgrade sooner?

    I recently purchased the Arlo Essential Spotlight camera as a replacement for my older Arlo cameras. The performance of these cameras are so much better than my older cameras. From the clearer video. To the crisp audio and the addition of the spotlight, it was well worth the upgrade to these cameras.

    This is the most simple yet best wireless camera I have ever used. Coming from an ADP setup, this is by far the superior product! Setup is so easy, and it links together to my Google Home setup. I can access the feed from any device (even my TV). Super nice. Customer for life.

    I am a single Mom of a 5 year old. Our Arlo has brought us so much peace of mind, knowing it is safe to get in the car at 5:30am when it’s still dark out. We are safe! I love our camera so much, I just purchased another. Very user friendly, quick and easy set up. Thank you!

    I followed the instructions on the App and it loaded fine. Just having a little trouble getting the settings correct but that is probably my fault it's taking a while.

    Installed front and back of the house, outside. These work great and the activity zones are perfect. The night quality is really good as well. Definately recommend. I have inside Arlo Pro cameras and the wired doorbell, all integrate seamlessly.

    Used this with my Basestation and it works well at night with spotlight and captures in color. This has capture motion of small rat to foxes on our deck. Ability to setup specific alerts for animal, package and human is also a great feature.

    Great quality camera. I have these cameras in my adult day care. The quality is crystal clear. I only had to changed the battery one time for over 14 months of monitoring.

    So far so good. Easy to set up in less than 5 minutes. Installed in my garage to monitor activity. Very good coverage and clarity. So far the cameras charge is at 57% after two weeks. Recharging the battery would be my only con.

    These are nicer than the Arlo Pro 2. Very good quality and nice picture. Nice to have a built-in rechargeable battery unlike the older ones. It has a good field of vision. The spotlight, siren and having sound with the video is great.

    I bought one for inside of my apartment. Set up was simple. I liked it so much I got another one for outside. I didn't set it up outside though. I put it in my kitchen window. I can see my door and car. Nice wide angle.

    The dirt is in the details. Cameras are good. Getting them set up by Geek Squad was great. After that it is hard to get any user friendly info on operation etc. If you read the box one would think it was plug and play. NOT! I might need to print the 72 page owners manual if I can find it on my computer. I would recommend this product but with caveats.

    Love my camera and the coverage that I get over my house. Its covers everything from the front of the house to the back. I really like the essential camera that lets you set the boundaries of where it records the video.
