Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great! I installed this in a room and it just sits on the shelf without any additional support. If was to make a change, I would have liked it to have a removable chargeable batter like the ones I have outside my building.

2 of tmen are and working fine I am very pleased with this Arlo Camera product.

i purchased the 4 pack Essential cameras - i freaking love it! the battery is last longing. the sensory is great! i love that as soon as someone enters the camera sensor the light off the camera turns on and starts recording. video quality is great! no bad videos

Battery life is short, solar panel not available, and customer support is one step below awful. Picture quality is great though.

I have six cameras in an array to surround my house and record events near all entrances and windows. The main reason was to track animals digging or damaging my yard, including armadillos, possums, raccoons, squirrels, coyotes, and at least two feral cats. The cameras have very good optics and decent infrared night time recording. They are pretty sensitive and pick up motion, animals, people, and vehicles. The videos record in very good detail and you can identify vehicles, people, and animals. When people come into range at my house, you can clearly see their faces for identification purposes. The vehicles are clear, but at a distance of about 100 feet, I find it difficult to read license plates or vehicle models/names. I have no luck recording small birds (have a couple of hummingbirds I'd like to catch on video) and snakes (we get three or four a week). Keeping the batteries charged is a challenge. With regular use, I've had to charge the three main cameras about once every two weeks. I left the live view on two cameras about three days ago. The cameras drained down to 7% overnight. I am currently converting to solar panel chargers, but have no data on their effectiveness and efficiency - yet. Haven't had them long enough to see how they hold up in a variety of weather situations. So far, they seem to be worth the money.

We bought two of these cameras and absolutely love them! Great quality, a lot of features, and a light. There’s no need to buy a ton of batteries because it charges with a usb! It’s very cool and I highly suggest this.

As with almost all the Surveillance systems, the good stuff has a subscription. And there are little annoying issues. Motion notification will drive you nuts. Loses connection often. Not able to set the precise motion activated area. They work good just to check on things while away.

Arlo cameras are legit. Records and photos, very useful

cameras are nice little disappointed the battery can not be removed to change out to charge.

The quality of this camera is very good and it works perfectly fine

I have several of these at my vacation house. They have been good but always require firmware updates. Batteries could last longer but I have solar panels for them so don't have to many problems anymore. Easy to setup and a good app. They did survive a cat 1 hurricane so I would say pretty durable in weather. I still prefer these over most camera's.

Wanted a camera to add spotlight capabilities. This camera does the trick without having to upgrade the entire system. However you do sacrifice noise detection.

I buy this product less year. I started getting problems with the battery, they don’t charge. And that charge is small cable.please help me with that.

The cameras work fine except it’s impossible to find the base station. My batteries dies within days so if you use them outside buy the UV charger thing. My cameras go “offline” almost daily but the picture and audio quality is excellent. It also will capture even the smallest movement which could be a good or bad thing depending on your need.

Great camera. Recommend wiring over charge when low. Great clear picture in the dark as well. Base station has some siren glitches, but this camera is great!

So far so good. Easy to set up in less than 5 minutes. Installed in my garage to monitor activity. Very good coverage and clarity. So far the cameras charge is at 57% after two weeks. Recharging the battery would be my only con.

Easy to set up! Quality of picture is great! Easy to change parameters!

The cameras work great at first but after a month I'm getting playback errors and I am unable to view the motion detected feed on my app. They also sound an alarm when the battery gets to a certain percentage which is great to notify the user that the battery is low but there is no way to mute that notification so mine went off at 3:00 in the morning and had to get up to go outside get a letter and take the camera down which also prevented security throughout the night just to plug it in and stop the loud beeping. I spoke to customer service on multiplications and they have been far from helpful with minimal resolution and I am now stuck with cameras I can no longer return that do not function as they should.

Upgraded my ARLO first version cameras with a special offer, 4 camera pack, of the Essential Spotlight Cameras for $399.00. Added Solar Cells to the 2 cameras mounted outdoors. Much better resolution and motion detection than the previous cameras.

Really nice set up and no issues whatsoever with this product
