    Love these, we already had Arlo's but wanted to upgrade! The picture is very clear and has very good range of footage. The audio is clear and the sensor for spot light is very bright. So happy with this purchase. Me and my husband were not disappointed. Very easy to set up as well and best part it pairs to your phone so you don't need a hub to set up!

    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.

    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.

    So far so good, we’re exited to have welcomed another product of Arlo’s into our space. It clear, confident and pretty accurate with the capturing. Only issues is a few seconds and delaying and frame gets stuck and freezes otherwise I’m pretty happy wit hit

    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.

    Nice Camera System for the Money. Had the Pro 2 series for a few years but these have a much better low light and longer battery life than the old system. Quick App install and easy to adjust features inside the program. Definitely Recommend.

    Only one of the cameras will stay connected. The other 2 I have gave up on. Old Arlo cameras worked fine, but I am about to switch to different brand.
