    Bought arlo doorbell camera and two essentials security cameras. Plan needed after 90 days of great coverage. However, u can't focus your cameras on much of an area, that requires charging every 3 days or so, which is not convenient. Also, one camera is already completely dead, and I'm still being charged for three cameras although only two are operational! Beware!!!!

    Unfortunately I was not able to connect my cameras. So very disappointed gave me a headache. These are for people that are more tech savvy then myself. So the cameras connect to your 2.4 wifi which is fine but you cell phone also has to be connected to 2.4 but my phone kept on connecting with the 5. Tried to change it in my wifi setting but it would let me. So at the end of it all I don't know how the cameras would have worked. I just got a ring and it connected instantly! I didn't have to do anything to the wifi.

    I needed a camera to keep an eye on things at my cabin while away. This Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera fits the needs perfectly as it is a good blend between price and capability. The Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera requires no hub as it connects directly to wifi. My internet is powered by Starlink and the connection speed to remotely view the camera works great! Pair this camera with an Arlo Essential Solar Panel and you are set!
