    I need to play with the settings.

    I love this camera. I actually bought a Blink camera first, then quickly returned it and got an Arlo. Much happier with the quality of Arlo, but kind of down about the battery life. I'm sure after playing with some settings I will be able to extend it. Thanks Arlo!

    Decided on the Arlo Essential model after some research. It provided everything that I felt I needed. Great visulas and audio from them. Extremely pleased.

    Arlo Camera works well -beware tech support scams

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Camera works well once set up. However, I called the Arlo help line for support and hate to admit that I was somehow redirected to a bogus software support line that scammed me out of $140. Beware.

    TOO Much LAG

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this to monitor a cat trap just outside my house. I wanted wireless (I have 18 POE wired cameras) and the flexibility to set this exactly where I wanted, temporarily. Getting it setup on my iPhone went okay and I was able to get the "live" stream to my phone. I then pointed it toward one of our cats and it took 5-8 seconds for it to update. This is WAY to much lag as I need fewer than 2 seconds. Also, I don't see a way to access this camera directly with a web browser. I couldn't locate the IP address on my DHCP table on my router and don't see a way to obtain this within the app - maybe I'm missing something. I needed a camera for tonight so I found an AMCREST POE camera on Facebook Marketplace and ran a temp cable under my window. I plan to return the Arlo camera

    Quality video

    Clear video, audio and set up is easy. App is easy to navigate, need to adjust settings to your own liking. Too soon to give a full accurate review, however, so far the videos captured have been pretty good for the price.

    I purchased my Arlo Spotlight Camera with the idea of of ease installation, quality and use. The cameras works excellent and the viewing and recording software are easy to navigate which allows me enjoy my camera needs without difficulty or spending too much time. A wonderful product indeed and I highly recommend it. There are many competive camera systems on the market and after doing by research, I found Arlo products met all my surveillance and recording needs. I expect to buy more Arlo products.

    The techs that installed our system were great! Our arlo system is good quality, it even zooms in! I'm not crazy about having to pay monthly, but most systems are that way. Now, if only my kids didn't dance for it to wake us up, we would be great!

    Works very well, many function subscription based

    So far this product has performed very well. I wish some of the basic locked subscription features, like 5 min recorded clips when the motion sensor is tripped, where available in the non subscription mode.
