Customer Ratings & Reviews

Arlo name comes with great reputation. However this product doesn't work well in large spaces (like on my farm).

Bought these as well as the solar panels to go with them and they wouldn’t stay connected so we had to return them

Dont waste your money on this crap. Unless you want to charge them weekly look into something else.

Batteries are weak and don't even last more than two weeks

Easy to set up but not real effective in a business environment - Horrible battery life

Didn’t work for me. Had to return because the sensor wouldn’t sense anything

The battery dies in 1 day if you have the camera armed. How pointless.

My Arlo showing solid blue all the time and I put the area to alert me not doing it . I don’t like it .

Does not hold a charge. Not the best quality. May hold 5 days charge

Would give it zero stars if possible. Spent 4 hours trying to get it connected and then gave up. Their support was no help. Complete waste of time.

I love my cameras. They came 3 in a box. They are really good quality videos, two way microphone and I love that it records any motion that takes place around them with the titles of what they are. I wake up in the morning and get to see what took place through the night. The flash light is very bright and I like that it comes on as soon as it sees movement. The battery life on them are long lasting and they are easy to screw off the stands so that you can recharge them, it does however only come with one cord and no charging box. Wish it came with a cord for each camera to charge on. The so APP is very easy to use and control the cameras. They do not automatically turn nor rotate but they have a wide camera view which is great.

Hard to setup and I didn't get to use it. There was complications with the camera setup.

Doesn’t work with previous arlo base stations rendering it pointless to stay with arlo and pay the monthly fee

To start off this is definitely an Essential package and not much is included in the box. This is not a downside though I look it as a good thing and less to worry about. Setting up the camera was super simple. No wiring or anything necessary you just use the three included screws to drill it into wherever you want to put it. Connecting to the app and WiFi was also very simple. I have used other cameras before and I must say Arlo is the best so far when it comes to detection. It was able to tell the difference between a car, a person and even has the option to detect a package being delivered. There are a few things I did not like but they are by no means deal breakers. The first is that during the night time it had a harder time detecting and filtering out vehicles driving by. The second thing is battery life. Although I have not been able to completely test battery life I do not thing it will live up to the claims. I think I will get 1-2 months max if even that. This is not that big of a deal because it is easy to take down a charge it. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a smart camera that does not want to deal with wires. The video quality and field of view are great. This camera can be mounted just about anywhere as well with little effort.

It was relatively easy to set up. Works on wifi. Charged fairly quickly. We'll see if the charge lasts a decent amount of time. The app could be more user friendly. Getting to live feed isn't intuitive.

Great product. I went in to exchange cameras and the item didn’t show in purchases. I was immediate assumed and accused of stealing the item. Unprofessional. The most hilarious part is I had just purchased a fridge for 2200. My family doesn’t steal. We have morals

Returned because I couldn’t get it to connect with the wifi

I love my Arlo essential spotlight camera and doorbell. It’s affordable. It works great I see clear in the plans are amazing. if you haven’t already, I would invest in Arlo, especially if you cannot afford your big brands like the ring doorbell or Google nest This is the same quality at half the price. I have two essentials spotlight cameras, and a doorbell and again they are just amazing. I get notified for everything. I love how you can arm your home. It’s great.

Very user friendly, good quality and so app. Just be careful with placement as constant movement will drain the battery quickly, but just unscrew and recharge not hard at all.

Something went weird with their apps. They've either made so many changes it's hard to use the right interface or made it so you have to buy the hub. The temporary 10 day trial worked fine.
