    I love this Arlo spotlight camera, it has a siren, motion-activated recording, and it has a rechargeable battery. The price was right.

    For the first month they were amazing with great resolution and easy app interface to communicate with through the cameras. After it was a complete mess, while the internet will be up and running they would randomly disconnect for hours or even up to a few days. No matter if I reset them to factory or just left them as is they issue would always happen.

    Seems to be a much better camera than the ring camera I tried prior. It worked and connected very easily to my netgear 1900 modem.

    Got 2 of these in late March 2021. 1 no longer works and the other is a headache (have to keep deleting it and reinstall installing it). Overall video quality is good and they are say to install. I like that I can set the alert zones to any size I want, any number of areas I want. Just wish they’d held up better. Not worth the money considering 1 died after about 10 months. Makes me wonder how long the other will last.

    The Arlo cameras are super easy to install and to set up in the app. The spotlight may look tiny on the camera but it’s actually very bright and scared away a guy who was trying to break into my friends car. Once he realized we had a camera he went running away and we had a video clip we could show the police when they arrived! Definitely recommend. Only complaint is that you kind of have to add and name them all in your Arlo app then have to do it again in the Google Home app.

    The image quality is great. One camera went offline after a day saying wifi signal was too weak but had been working without issue. It is also advertised with a 6 month battery life. I only turn them on at night while sleeping and they died after 2 nights even with the natterybin optimized mode. keeping them on while away on a trip would be pointless. I like that they are completely wireless. However i would have sacrifed a lower quality for one that actually sustained battery life.
