Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wow, great set up, easy to set up on internet and picture quality great I am still on 3 month trial but I will sign up for sure.

The camera is a great addition for the not so important spot you wanted coverage for anyway. Downside is having to charge the device entirely versus removing the battery.

One camera only lasts 4 days after charging it. We have not used 2 of them. Wondering what needs to be done with the one camera.

Great Cameras But the Battery Life Kinda Sucks i don’t know if it’s because of the current weather conditions here in Chicago but Needs to Improve On Battery Life Last Week I Charged 1 camera and now same Camera Needs Recharge Again

Good cameras. Easy setup! I have a floodlight as well. If you have a lot of flow in the cameras the battery drain quickly. You need to pay for Subscription after 3 months are up. Unless you have a base station which is an extra $100.

Battery runs out within 1 week. Not worth buying will charge all day. Within 6 days battery is dead. You will have to buy spare batteries

Really good clarity and easy to work the system. Only problem is battery life. Needs to be a bit longer. Had them a month and battery went down to 38%. Left them on most of the time just as a test for long trips of bring away.

I have 5 of these and they all work great. One is over 20 yards from my router. I charge them about every 3 months.

Very easy to setup. The light helps with deterrence and overall quality is great once connected. No base station needed!!

very good idea without hub, but the battery is not enough. I am using it in my parking lot, the use is average and the battery only lasts 3 days It also disconnects from the Wi-Fi very often that is a major problem, it is very annoying.

Purchased this to add on to my existing hub. Great picture quality and spotlight is a perfect feature.

Easy to install. Good image quality. Easy to use app. Ability to set notifications based on the camera trigger (motion, animal, person, etc) is a bonus; otherwise, I would get 300 notifications a day due to wind.

The cameras are good- nice picture, good zoom ability, nice strong light. However the app is a freaking mess! Half of the time it doesn't work and half the time it does work you have to close it and log in 2-3 times. I pay for the Arlo storage but cannot access it about 60% of the time. What is the point of having it if I can't see events!?!?!? I will keep them since we have had them and the Arlo doorbell for a while. If I had to do it again I would definitely go with someone else though.

50% rubbish. 2 of the 4 cameras are already non functional. I am trying to get an RMA from Arlo to have them replaced. Shame on Arlo for charging real money for this…stuff. I got so frustrated with the essential cams failing that I replaced them with a couple of Kasa cams. I am currently running 2x Arlo Pro 3, the surviving 2x Arlo essential and 2x Kasa (one outdoor and one indoor PTZ) Kasa is far less expensive per camera and I find them a snap to set up, we’ll see if TP-Link can outdo Netgear.

Bought two of them and they work as well as you’d expect from a wireless camera. Clear picture. Battery tends to die fairly quickly. But you can buy the solar panels to fix that.

I think I’ve purchased about 12 of these cameras so far between personal use and gifts. Definitely the best wifi home security system out there

works well and connected to my base station easily. disappointed the box didn't come with a charger, only a cable. also the battery pack is sealed so when the battery dies the whole unit needs to be discarded, not enviro friendly

Love my Arlo camera. Just a couple second lag when viewing live. Other then that Arlo is an amazing brand will never use another brand

Arlo wire free cameras are awesome. this essential spotlight camera works right out of the box

Easy to install and the video is crisp and clear. The battery will last for a couple of months unless it's a high traffic area.
