    Have several of these cameras along with 4 of the pro 4 models, we use the essential cams for the bedrooms, they work great for inside or outside, just a few small differences that make the pro 4s a little better for outside like 2k, h.d.,and object tracking. We felt for inside they would be great and there at least 50$ cheaper, more when on sale.

    I like this camera as far as the quality in picture but don’t like that it doesn’t have a removable battery. I have to take the whole thing down to charge it. Also the light isn’t very strong and doesn’t stream very far. I wanted this to reach my cars in my backyard to monitor them but it only does an ok job. The battery also says 6 month life but it only lasted about 3 weeks.

    Quickly becoming the Gold Standard in Cloud Based home monitoring. Easy to set up, user friendly app and A/V quality that flex’s on the competition. The battery life is outstanding. I’ve had the system for about a month and the cameras are STILL running on the juice they came with and are roughly about 15% life as of this posting. Arlo has established itself as dependable and reliable in my book and I will be a customer for life. 10/10

    Once the cameras were successfully set up, I am very satisfied. The picture and sound are clear. There is a bit of a lag, sometimes only a few seconds, but if there has been no activity for a while it can take a minute to catch up. I particularly like the spotlight feature, and the ability to speak to someone through the app. Initial set up was a little clunky, it took a couple of tries to get the app to recognize the cameras, so this took longer than expected. Overall the value is great, and you get 7 days of video without having to pay for a subscription. The cameras connect directly to WiFi so no need to purchase a hub. I would definitely recommend.
