I love arlo
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install and get started, has a 5 second lag with camera to monitor but not a big deal. I even set it on my daughters desk to make sure she’s focusing on school without having to go to her room every 5 mins. I love the text notifications you get when armed.

I feel trapped with Arlo cams
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the cameras give lots of problems on & off but I have so many cams for years, that I feel stuck with them, what bothers me is offering promos for reviews. We can not get a true review that way and I can not name all the problems with 50 characters.

Nice indoor/outdoor camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the look, size and convenience of this camera as well as the outdoor option. I wish the cord to plug it in was a little longer so I didn't have to use the battery indoors, but the battery life is long. I also like the two way audio option and ability to mute myself. I just wish I could mute myself before I turned the camera on. Overall, I'm very happy with this camera and would buy it again.

Buy something else
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not too pleased. The camera keeps detecting....nothing. My phone is constantly going off without anything or anybody there. It also randomly disconnects, and it is not due to my wifi. I find this system to be pretty poor.

Terrible Battery Life
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Six month battery life my (insert curse word here). We've only had this two days, and the battery has died in the middle of the night both days. We use this as a baby monitor and was told by the Best Buy associate that the battery should last 4 months as a baby monitor. Definitely going to have to return this.

Posted .Hello Darklordvyperx,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your Arlo Essential Spotlight camera experience. We want clarify that this camera is not designed for baby monitoring as it will detect and record motion a lot that could drain its battery life quick. For your setup, we recommend getting an Arlo Baby camera.
Please reach out to Arlo Support Team if you need assistance : https://www.arlo.com/en-us/support/contact.aspx.

Two issues only.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s an okay security cam for 1080p. The resolution isn’t the best if you have poor internet connection in certain places, that’s one of the reasons why I gave it a 4 star. The other reason is because of the notifications. I receive them like crazy. There’s motion detection, animal detection, and person detection, but wish we had the option to choose our preferences. Other than that it’s ok :)

Rarely works properly. Always troubleshooting.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great when it does work, but that is rare. This has been the most frustrating purchase of my life. The camera constantly has large gaps, constantly disconnects and will not reconnect. I have already returned once, will likely return again and switch to Ring.
