2nd Arlo
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the previous Arlo, easy setup. This one doesn’t have the same battery life as my first, so I’ll just adjust it’s armed time. I’ve bought the skins you can cover them with when outdoors. I do like these cameras. Just wish the base stations were in stock because I would like to use them with HomeKit and Alexa.

Good video quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the quality of the video but one downside to these cameras is the battery life doesn’t last much before you have to charge again.

Arlow
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried three security cameras from Best buy. This was the most expensive and by far the lowest of quality. Setup is pretty simple, but it takes forever to get the camera to connect and stream to my phone (the others took only a few seconds). Once your Arlo smart trial ends, you can't save live videos to your phones storage (seriously?). Now that my Arlo smart trial has ended, the camera never alerts me of any motion (I live in a condo so I know there are people walking by). The thing that made me post this review is I now get email after email (email notifications have always been disabled) that I need to charge my battery. I don't really feel the need to charge it since it no longer works or provides motion alerts, but my camera insists on harassing me via my email that I never asked Arlo to use to notify me. I even changed my email and it still continues alerting the same address. I would recommend ANY other brand than Arlo.

Good Product
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already had Arlo cameras, and this was a purchase to add more to my existing set up. They work perfectly together. however, after the free trail you will need to purchase an agreement with Arlo, or they will not take pictures on your phone. They just notify you of activity.

Arlo Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love knowing who and when people approach ahead of time, what is going on when not at home and finally what the dogs are doing while I am away. Easy to handle, charge and review footage. I have 8 camera's inside and outside watching over my personal belongings. Adding or deleting is simple. If I am able to work anyone can. I would recommend to all.

Really neat cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When they work they’re awesome! Unfortunately one of the 4 in the pack has a battery life of about a week. We’ve adjusted the zones and settings but I think the battery is just no good. We are on the fence about keeping them as you need a subscription service to be able to utilize all of the features. I should have researched more.

Would not recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras have good video quality but I bought them to upgrade from my old Arlo system thinking the up to 6 month battery life would be a huge plus. These need to be charged every 3-4 weeks. Also, I read that I could use my existing base station to avoid having to pay the smart subscription service and these will not connect to my base station.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality video, easy to setup. The spot light doesn't help for cameras mounted up higher except for a deterrent to let people know there is a camera watching them. I would recommend to others looking. My main reason to get these was the wireless so I didn't have to go in the attic to run any wires for power or network.
