    Great cameras and seemed like they would work really well if I had better wifi. But they wouldn’t have a good signal and took a long time to connect to my phone or send me movement notifications. The batteries also died on me very quickly because it kept trying to connect.

    I bought these cameras because I was told it had great audio and it does. You can hear almost everything and the video quality is great. Easy to install and you have free recording access for a few months and after that its a monthly payment, but it isn't that much.

    They are great camera's! For the price and subscription can't beat it. Plus they have solar panel chargers so no need to take down your camera's to charge. One downfall is in the winter when it gets really cold outside the camera's stop functioning period due to temperature. Wich sucks!

    Its an outdoor Arlo camera. Easy to set up and use. The ability for it to detect what is on your patio (person, animal, package) is a nice touch even tough it cost a monthly subscription (only $3). only thing keeping this from 5 star is sometimes the flood light gets stuck on at night so you have to turn the camera off with the app and turn it back on to reset. Hope that gets fixed with a software update.

    I now have 12 Arlo cameras varying from pro 4 to essential spotlight. Great outdoor cameras. Will be buying the Ultra 2 before long as well. Also purchased the Arlo hub system for my house and Arlo hub w/5 sensors and 4 cameras for my son and daughters houses. Highly recommended
