Great camera. Easy setup, plug and play 1080 resolution makes for a clear video. Senses objects and tells you if the object is an animal, person, vehicle or motion

Love that there are no wires, easy to install, all the features are great! Especially the audio, if I'm out back I can speak to and hear anyone at the door. I can sleep better at night knowing I have a great security camera

I have had 3 Arlo Essentials for a while now. The battery seems to be holding quite the charge, video quality is okay. It does struggle a bit at nighttime in terms of video quality, though it could just be problems with placement. All around a good camera, though I feel like the Pro 4 may pick up where this one lags.

iI'm confused,,,, does ARLO now REQUIRE a subscription or is it "Optional"?? The specs does not make it clear. My current cameras are at EOL but free video storage. Hopefully someone can give me a straight answer. Not Happy With Arlo Support!!

It took a little while to get the base station, but when it arrived it was easy to get the cameras working. The Arlo support staff was very helpful.

You have to take it down to charge it. However, it lasts a long time without charging. It alerts for everything but you can change the settings. It also also additional safety features for a price while away from home.

this camera has very good video quality during the day and night. catches literally everything animals people vehicles and any motion. very happy with my purchase.

It’s got great picture quality. Allows me to keep an eye on my puppy and allows us to watch for intruders. I love how it give you updates when it’s armed and it also records the movement.

The cameras provide clear picture and sound. I would only change one feature and that would be creating a button that could easily be pushed to “arm” select cameras with the siren instead of having to go and change the mode on each individual camera at night before bed and then again in the morning before anyone walks outside.

Great video quality and view. No wires so you can mount anywhere. Motion detectors very good. Good value for the quality of the cameras. Monitoring my home and dogs gives me peace of mind.

I purchased the 4 pack Arlo Essentials cameras to replace and old home security system because I didn’t like the quality or the lag from the other brand. I must say these cameras are well worth the money spent. I hooked these up directly in the same spot as the other cameras I had and the Arlo has a wider view of the room and the picture quality is immaculate. It does have a few second lag but not noticeable compared to the system I replaced. I will be purchasing the doorbell camera next and swapping out my current doorbell camera.

my wife and I moved to a new state and had an issue with a random stranger on the very first evening. the next day I bought this camera and it does exactly as advertised and exactly what I need. We feel much safer now knowing that our arlo essential camera is keeping tabs on the place.

I have always had the Pro 2 but since not making anymore I got this. I works good, just wish it had a battery that could be removed and charged like the pro 2 instead of a cord not as mobile if i want to keep it charged and go on a trip

These Arlo Spotlight Cameras are awesome. Very easy to set up. They provide a very clear and detailed picture, along with sound. I only wish that they were available in a matte black.

I purchased the Arlo essential spotlight camera with the solar panel and though it only came with one panel, I placed one of the porch and another camera inside the home. I feel so much more secure with the advantages of live footage and the notifications that inform me of any movements when I’m away from home. I’m able to sleep and leave our home with peace of mind and security. The video surveillance is so clear and the quality never leaves me questioning who is approaching our home. I love the fact that you can control the sensitivity of movement and chance the notifications of what the cameras pick up on.

I like them. Ive added more over time. I have seven. They work great. I have had zero issues. Had five for three years. Just added the last two. I think I'm covered.

We got 2 new cameras to add to our Arlo Pro 2 and we love these. Beautiful color, sound and my kids feel even more protected. Arlo makes it so easy for us technically challenged!

I bought additional ones of these to go with one I already had. I have replaced all of my old cameras with the Essential cameras since they have lights in them.

Got this for my Dad's birthday. He loves seeing videos of the animal's crossing our yard, and he likes being able to talk to people outside.

Easy installation and setup. I recommend setting it up with the base station so you can control all the cameras easily. There is no way to change the activity zones so be careful when you set them otherwise, you will need to remove the device and start the pairing process all over.
