    The only negative is battery life. We get about 3 months worth of charge and that is with using activity zones but we live on a busy street so that was kind of expected.

    It’s a great product. Met my expectations. Picture quality is great in the daytime, it’s ok at night when there’s minimal lighting. I’m satisfied with my purchase.

    Great camera with good resolution but it drains the battery. That I need to buy a solar panel so it will charge all the time.

    I love my Arlo Essential Spotlight Cameras the video quality is great, along with the playback video. I had the Arlo 2 and 3 security camera, but it required a hub to connect to the cameras and didn't light on them. I love how the Essential Spotlight camera has a light on it and can connect straight to your wifi. You can speak through the two-way mic, and the battery life is longer.

    These cameras are NOT easy to set up; they didn't connect. There wasn't enough bandwidth to supprt them, so I changed my internet services in hopes that it would help. And so far, it still has not connected. I try troublshooting ideas with no connection still. I maybe returning them within 60 days of sale and cut my losses.
