Customer Ratings & Reviews

Decent camera for the price. However after 2 years I am having to replace it as it completely quit working.

I am very pleased with the clarity of the recordings. Very small but has a wide view of the area.

We have five Arlo cameras ranging from the original, essential, and pro. I like the Essential. It has a spotlight and a two way microphone. It can be connected directly to wifi and does not need to be connected to the hub. The only drawback is that the camera has to be taken down to be charged. The battery does not come out. With my other arlos, the battery compartment can be opened and the batteries swapped out easily, losing no monitoring time.

Very easy to setup after fully charging the unit. Mounting was simple with hardware that is provided. Picture is clear and sharp viewed on my Iphone, the battery life seems short but I have been using the camera a lot moving it to different locations, it is easy to charge with a usb cable.

Very pleased with the purchase. Very easy set up- straight out of the box. The spotlight option is a nice bonus for this camera and the colors were vibrant and clear. The cost was best I’ve seen so far when browsing for a bargain. It’s nice that I can check my home when I’m away.

Great product, but it have to be charged too often, better batteries would be better, over all love it

If you have busy foot or vehicle traffic area I do not recommend. Even at the lowest settings and battery save the battery still drains very quickly. While you can select to only be alerted for human and animal the camera still records all vehicle movements which drains battery faster. After setting “zone” areas I did not receive any more alerts and the camera did not record anything. I contacted Arlo tech who were not very helpful. If a car happens to past while a human is detected the camera records the car and no longer acknowledges the human present. The app is not very simple to use compared to ring, blink and a basic nanny camera app. I waited too long to return them and now I’m stuck unless I re-sell them. Otherwise it picks up sound really good and night vision is the only positive part about the camera.

Amazing product and satisfaction level is above and beyond my expectation

So far so good! I switched from blink and Arlo are by far so much better. Blink did the job in the moment but Arlo just through out it all, all day every day they get the job done. App isn’t too shabby either and quite easy to situate through it, setup was a breeze. No complaints here

I have this hooked up in front of my house overlooking corner of the yard. This thing picks up motion from moving leaves, hence the battery wont last more than 2 weeks. I have disabled motion, person recognition. Still battery wont last more than 2 weeks. Unless recharging a mounted camera every 2 week is your favorite past time don’t buy this thing.

The cameras are nice when they are in operation. Had them up only two days and the batteries went down.

Hard time to get hooked up, battery life ok ,had 1 quit working and could not get it hooked back up

Can be better battery drain quick probably like a week, you need a subscription you don’t have options is well made durable

Good picture, no instructions on how to set them up. The company is totally useless when trying to get help. You need assistance, YouTube is more helpful. the cams were inexpensive and not hard to get them to sync up to the phone. Trying to program them is another thing. The product is good but the lack of instruction is baffling.

I like it. Does what it's supposed to. Sometimes disconnects but not too difficult to re add.

Very easy set up, but the battery is draining faster and I am having to charge them more frequent

The camera are easy to but up but the directions are very small can't read them other than that they are ok.

Im loveing all the Wildlife catch on it. I give it an 8.

the cameras have a pretty decent picture, the charging time of the batteries, and the long lasting life of over a month give me plenty of time to enjoy my life style and provide peace of mind that my home is secure in trying times like these. thank you to these cameras.

Great cameras only downfall is having to charge all the time
