East setup - good quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set up took about 20 minutes total for 9 cameras. The system is pretty intuitive and I love how easily it is to customize alerts, motion zones and geofencing. Low light function also works really well!

Not to bad at all!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super simple to set up only down side is it has a little bit of a lag maybe about 5-8 seconds that’s the only downside the picture is super clean better then my ring devices and I can connect this to my google home or Alexa devices!

Did not connect
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took cameras out of box and none would connect to wifi. I also bought a box of Arlo Pro and they all work fine, so I know it was not user error.

Added to existing system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera was being added to an older Arlo system but connected without any issues. Got the camera mounted, set the field and off and running. Less than 30 mins, probably less than 15.

I would recommend this to a friend Still in Search For Quality and Timing Perfection
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price point for this set at Best Buy but less than stellar results of equipment quality. Set up my cameras quite easily within minutes. After the first day I began noticing a horrid screech during live feed or motion detected captures. I had an issue with a neighbor continuously coming into my yard setting off my cameras. Unfortunately, the delay in these cameras hindered me from using the audio feature. I had to physically go out and confront the neighbor since the delay and constant “spinning’ using the app had the timing off with interacting with anyone on the outside. I returned my set. I am currently looking for a wireless camera that has mastered the true art of live feed and audio without delays. Delays of any length defeat the whole purpose of having security cameras for your safety and protection. Seconds do matter. I only recommend these to someone who is entertained by watching movements that occur around your property.....a few seconds prior to what you are actually viewing through the app.

Great security camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great security camera. Easy to set up & install. Works great and good quality. Nice to have a rechargeable battery unlike the older ones. Really good field of vision. The spotlight, siren and having sound with the video is great.

I would recommend this to a friend Added to my existing 3 year old Arlo System
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this to add on to my existing system. It's a tad different than the other cameras, but I'm pleased with it. Would have given it 5 stars but the charging is cumbersome. I have to get on a small ladder, remove it - charge it - and then climb up again to reposition and reattach it. Would be nice if Arlo would improve the charging process.

Easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband and I have no clue about electronics so when I say a 3year old can manage this and put it to use I'm not kidding it's so well worth the money I love it nobody passes my house without us knowing clear pik I love it
I would recommend this to a friend Never again.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wish I could give it a "0". Useless, after a few months, it would give notification of motion but wouldn't record. Then it decided it didn't want to sync with the base hub anymore. Geek Squad was just here, couldn't get it to sync either. I'm beat. And, no customer service. Look through all the articles online and see if they help. Spoiler alert, THEY DON'T. Going to try something else.

Xfinity problems
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love the Arlo brand. That being said, still having trouble connecting these cameras. These were bought for my parents lake property and while I am sure they work great, they can only be connected to a 2.4 wifi connection. Well there is no way to choose between the 2.4 and 5 on the router. Still trying to deal with xfinity on how to correct this.
