    I bougth this camera and installed on my shed, so I can see my house. I was afraid the battery will not last long. But it worked for about since May till October on one charge. The app is easy to use. Great wireless camera.

    Its an outdoor Arlo camera. Easy to set up and use. The ability for it to detect what is on your patio (person, animal, package) is a nice touch even tough it cost a monthly subscription (only $3). only thing keeping this from 5 star is sometimes the flood light gets stuck on at night so you have to turn the camera off with the app and turn it back on to reset. Hope that gets fixed with a software update.

    These cameras were recommended by a colleague and they were very easy to set up. We wanted wireless with no service fee and they also have spotlights on them. I would definitely recommend them.

    They are great camera's! For the price and subscription can't beat it. Plus they have solar panel chargers so no need to take down your camera's to charge. One downfall is in the winter when it gets really cold outside the camera's stop functioning period due to temperature. Wich sucks!

    I now have 12 Arlo cameras varying from pro 4 to essential spotlight. Great outdoor cameras. Will be buying the Ultra 2 before long as well. Also purchased the Arlo hub system for my house and Arlo hub w/5 sensors and 4 cameras for my son and daughters houses. Highly recommended

    I bought the four-pack of these cameras and expected mid-level quality and performance. I am happy to say that I was wrong. They feel sturdy and well-built. I like how you can adjust the brightness of the spotlight and even turn it off (for interior cameras if you wish). The audio is clear and the microphone is sensitive enough to pick up normal conversation-level sounds. The night recordings are a huge improvement over other cameras. I really enjoy the two-way communication feature as well. All in all, this is a great set at a great price. So much so, that I bought another four-pack! Arlo put together a really nice product with this line.
