Essential camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product when you have poor internet service. Would prefer higher resolution but my internet would not support
I would recommend this to a friend Good wireless set up
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I personally like the Arlo system, the battery will last long only if there is low traffic, I like the light on the camera it acts as a mini flood light. If you don't get a skin for a camera that is exposed to the elements it may get water in them. I would buy again.

Easy setup

Arlo essential
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life doesn’t last as long as I thought. The WIFI works better on my Arlo pro 2 models. I wish it had the removable battery so I could just switch out so really disappointed with some of the features.
