I would recommend this to a friendFalse Advertizing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reason I purchased these was the promise of the cameras being stand alone and not needing to join the Arlo monitoring program. Well this isn’t true. Arlo grants you 30 days free, but afterwards, in order to enjoy the advertised features, you must pay a monthly subscription.

Great Security option
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it. Ordered on-line to pick up at store, process was quick and efficient. Extremely easy to install. Once installed, you can select individual options on each camera, which makes it easy based on type of traffic at each camera. The package of 3 is sufficient for the space we have.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these cameras now for a year. 1 of the cameras stopped working but all the other ones work fine. Just fyi there is a companion app with the cameras but it’s $10 a month.

Not a good experience.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No good experience with these cameras. Battery doesnt last even when you put the motion detention low sensitivity. If the internet shut down, is really and unbelievable hard to connect it back. Not recommended, i wish i can return it. I've been using this for more than a year.

Buyer Beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.sometimes loses connection with base. Or does not record. And you need to subscribe to a plan in order to keep historical video, even if it is 1 day old
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Battery life
Good value
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty satisfied with my new cameras. I have two other systems blink and ring. My Arlo was easy to set up and very functional online monitoring. Definitely the best camera clarity. My main disappointment is the battery life. While it’s not as bad as some reviews I’ve read it’s not as good as the blank which last almost a year. I am charging my Arlo every 2wks.

Great security camera, on a budget!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera is a great buy for someone who doesn't need a "panel" installation in their home. I like that the system keeps me informed with "pushes" when someone or something comes into the camera's view. All is easily viewed on my cell phone with the Arlo phone app. Only downside is the battery needs to be recharged, so there is significant down time of about 3 hours.

Nice quality outdoor camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera quality is good. Setup in less than 10 minutes. Wifi makes location a breeze. Will get color night vision when the spotlight is on. Added the solar charger and have not had to worry about recharging battery stays at 100%
