    These cameras are NOT easy to set up; they didn't connect. There wasn't enough bandwidth to supprt them, so I changed my internet services in hopes that it would help. And so far, it still has not connected. I try troublshooting ideas with no connection still. I maybe returning them within 60 days of sale and cut my losses.

    Have a few Arlo devices and the quality and response on these have been the best. The WiFi connectivity is very strong, through multiple walls and long distances. Base station only makes it better

    Notes should mention you cannot use this camera without a smart hub. i went into the store and the rep told me I would be able to use this along with my floodlight, unfortunately I had to return this camera and get a two pack camera with the smarthub.

    The only reason it’s getting 4 stars is cause the set up process wasn’t the easiest. Once I finally got it paired up to the WiFi and everything I haven’t had any problems, great quality.

    Wasn’t aware of the monthly fee for these cameras to keep cloud memory- kind of annoying. There is a bit of a delay for live camera viewing so the 2 way talk kind of doesn’t work for that reason. Other than that, great resolution and picks up people, animals, vehicles, and very timely with those notifications! Also easy to remove and put back when I have to charge it. Takes longer than expected to charge (like a full day) but stays charged for a couple of weeks.

    Currently using it with the Arlo 3 cameras. I love it has a spotlight feature. My only issue is it does not have removable batteries to charge. You will need to plug it directly to charge.
