Pretty good but wish I could see recording without subscription like my arlo 2

BEWARE! This model REQUIRES a subscription with Arlo!! It does NOT give you 7 days of free video storage. You will only receive a notification via the app. I bought this for the better video quality for my front door to go with my two Arlo Pro 2. I wish I hadn't bought it, it does not record motion or audio unless you for the monthly or yearly subscription

The system seems good at first. the constant change of batteries will make your life a living hell. The angle of the video capture is tricky, so for the system to detect a person, it has to come from any of the sides. So if the person comes walking forward, the system won't detect them. The Arlo Pro batteries will work just for a year ( coincidently the warranty time). The customer service outside the US is extremely rude and seems to be designed to push back and not to try to help the customers. For the price no, I won't recommend this product.

Perfect for my front yard I can see everything and make sure is all alright, and the wireless part is what I like a lot too no need to be worry about the wires anymore, just the delay on the image but still works good.

i wouldn't recommend it. their customer support is nill. their explanations of how to use them are poor. I would go with a company that is tying into a hardwired company with their wireless. The bigger the company the better.

The camera is exactly what we wanted. Wide range of visibility and clarity. Settings for sensitivity, people/animals, alerts are great as well. Always can view your home on an app and so far no problems.

We used this camera to keep an eye on the cats while we were away. Worked perfectly! The microphone feature was also hilarious to use with the cats; initially scared the crap out of them. Loved it!

Setup was easy and the alerts are quick and intelligent. In the alert it lets you know if it’s an animal, package or motion. Then you can access the live feed fast enough to still see the action.

I’m not a tech person so had difficulty setting this up, but once It was setup was excited with the camera footage and its features.

Subscription based, camera quality very fuzzy, and now past the return date. Won’t be using is brand.

This is our 4th Arlo outdoor camera. We love the wide angle of this camera because it allows us to see our whole front yard. We actually have it mounted in a tree.

I have 2 Arlo Ultra cameras and recently purchased 2 of the essential models. For the price difference they are great if you dont need the top 4k quality.

I love it’s features and the spotlight. The battery lasts a while but I always charger whenever I can to avoid having to charger for too long when it’s close to dying.

Camera works great. When setting up make sure to turn 5g wifi off on phone and connect to standard wifi, then reconnect after setup is complete.

I own 4 of these cams and a doorbell. Poor connections is common especially with the newer versions. Also battery life is very poor, especially with the long life versions. I have to constantly be aware of dying batteries. Recently I am having many open gaps in coverage and I’ve found out how horrible their customer service department is. Add all these things up and I wish I could give Arlo 0 stars

Super satisfied with my purchase. The Arlo Essential notify me with every movement in real time. Resolution is great with a wide view. I honestly couldn’t be happier.

Highly recommend an Arlo Essential as it is very convenient to not have to connect the camera to a base and connect it directly to WiFi.

Can't remember a single tech item I've bought in the last 20 years that has been more disappointing. Fails at the most basic level. At this point, I just view them as fake cameras that serve to deter criminals who don't realize homes with this brand should be targeted for whatever nefarious task they're attempting. Assuming you're thinking of buying an Arlo camera to use it as a functioning camera and not just something to make it look like you have cameras for security then find another brand. I've now had mine for a couple months and they lose their connection to the base station frequently. Worse, when you go to look at a recording from earlier, you discover that one of the cameras hasn't been recording in days. The solution according to numerous discussions with tech support, is to go get the camera and remove it from your system and then reconnect it to the base station. Leaving out how annoying this is, you don't know it wasn't recording until after the fact, so it's basic function is worthless. In live mode, they constantly lose the stream and have to be refreshed so worthless there also. Arlo Pro 2 that I own are totally worthless for "Night Vision". You can stand on a ladder 3 feet from the camera and not recognize yourself at night. Fortunately, people out breaking into cars, etc. late at night aren't the brightest people in the world. With a little research, they would learn to identify the uniques shape of Arlo cameras and realize it was open season on any house that has them. If I was a thief, I'd specifically seek out homes with Arlo cameras to steal from since people who own them, thinking they have some protection, are likely to let their guard down compared to someone who knows they have none. I bought mine on sale so only wasted a couple hundred bucks and will just throw them out rather than foisting them off on some unsuspecting person on Ebay or at Goodwill. Save yourself some aggravation and some money and buy anything but Arlo cameras.

I'm not a techie so I was a bit nervous about getting 4 cameras set up around my house. I can't believe how easy it was to set everything up and install.

That’s pretty much of what I needed for monitoring my infant everywhere in the house. Only thing I am missing is compatibility to HomeKit.
