Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent camera, no need for hub, and the light that turns on everytime there is movement is great. The feature I like the most is that this camera recognized if movement comes from a car, animal, or a person.

Love this camera! Sound is crisp and clear, color video that extends to the end of my driveway, wide angle, easy to install and batteries charge quickly and seem to last quite a long time (about a month, so far).

Have had Arlo cameras for several years and am glad to see updates and changes. Essential Spotlight so far was an easy addition to my system and gives a fair amount of light. It’s not as bright as a normal spotlight but it does provide illumination. I have not had it long enough to determine battery life but after a week we are still at 95%. Having the proper adjustment for motion and optimized video is important to lengthen battery life. Battery life is the only weak point in this system I can see, but by planning and a schedule it has been ok. Wireless connectivity has been good with a mesh EERO wireless system. Overall I would recommend this system as it is easy to setup and use vs having to wire an entire house.

Recently purchased Arlo Cameras. I was highly disappointed after the first couple of days, for various reasons. First reason was the batteries had to be recharged after 24 hours. I had to take down all 3 Cameras and different times to recharge the batteries. I was disappointed with how easy the cameras could be taken down. While the cameras had alot of good Features, I chose not to spend any more money for solar panels and security mounts. I would definitely be interested in purchasing the cameras in the future, but I would recommend purchasing the more expensive bundles. Easy to setup and to install.

I replaced an old Arlo camera with this one at my front door. Better picture, sound, sensitivity, as well as color and light at night! Easy to install, add to my base, and well worth the price.

Cameras work great. Picture is very clear. It picks up everything. The only issue is the battery life is short. You can set them not to be too sensitive. I think that will help with battery life.

Very easy setup. The video quality, intuitive app, wider angle view are great for this price point. Good quality feel, designed well. The magnetic connection to the mount is great to get it down for charging.

It's ok. Not what i expected as far as the battery life. I guess the 6 months battery life is for minimum motion detection. Like some one that's not home but once a mont or so... Also, accessing the account is limited to one personat a time. Everything is ok. We've had the Essential set for 1 month and some days.

Great camera. Easy to install and setup. Spotlight is bright.

Really easy to install and configure. The light and camera lense is really good quality. The camera is great and it worked great with my existing Arlo controller. Good quality.

Great size camera picture ok app is good just a little Details should be added

... nighttime quality not great ... but acceptable at the price

Great camera. It has very nice pictures and clear audio.

We mounted it and the picture is very clear. The view is very wide so it gives a very good range to view. The functions are easy to use. The web site made it easy to download and it is easy to understand.

The cameras were super easy to set up and the image/video quality so far has been great. I wish the zone setup on these was as flexible as the Arlo Pros though.

Bought this because it would pair with my old base station. It paired with it, however I can't see how I can set it to save recordings locally without a subscription. Camera itself works great though

Packaged instructions are very limited. Most set-up help came from You Tube videos. PDF instructions are good but around 60 pages.

Overall great value for the price of the cameras and hardware.

Now I wish I would've gotten the bundle instead of just the one

My Arlo spotlight camera keeps losing Wi-Fi. Not good.
