    The camera is great and the sensitivity for movement is great. The only issue is that the batter rubs out to quickly. Not easy to charge. You have to take it down and bring it inside to charge.

    This is our 2nd Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera. We use these as baby monitors & works almost flawlessly. On occasion, we will have to reset the device & reconnect to the hub.

    It’s a great camera. The information on the site with the details on the camera are very accurate except for one. Battery life. Yes it’s great it is wireless, but 6 months battery life? Yeah I don’t think so. I have to recharge this bad boy every 5 days to a week. But they do offer the solar panel (sold separately) to help with this issue. (How convenient) lol. But it’s a good camera all in all.

    The picture is super grainy. Not as good as some of the other cameras out there. Also, the notifications I have turned off, are still notifying me.

    This is a high-quality camera. I installed this outdoors to watch my front porch. The video quality is excellent. The motion sensor works flawlessly. The light is bright enough to illuminate the immediate area. My one gripe is that Arlo's internet connection is a bit sluggish. There is an approximate 6-second delay on live video. Other that that, the install and everything else is easy! I love the geofencing automatic arm/disarm feature!

    Got it for $80 and a great deal. Light could be brighter to illuminate more area but it’s a solid camera if you have arlo as your platform.

    Simple and easy to use security camera system! Great quality. Love the spot light effect for the night system. Only thing I wish that was different is the 5-7 second delay from the camera feed to your phone.

    I like this Arlo Camera. The battery life is still holding on for about a month now but I don’t have a lot of traffic in that area so that’s probably why the battery is still holding on - I’m sure! It describes its objects as a person, an animal or a vehicle. Really neat! The only thing I don’t like, the battery is not removable! You have to take down and plug entire camera in to recharge. But it’s a nice camera. Worth the buy.
