Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product, loving the spotlight that turns on via motion. I like the 2-way radio and the easiness of installation. Would love to have a home monitor for Arlo when I’m at home and want to check the cameras.

After 1 month the battery stopped taking charge. I call to Arlo customer service and don’t get a good response.

Great camera . Have 3 now. They don't need a hub but they do easily connect to my Amazon stick and Amazon fire tv. Can use with Alexa . Great app also.

I have seen the quality of the videos in different lighting situations and in every single one the image is sharp, the sensitivity for the motion is great too, nothing moves through the area without being recorded.

We have the Arlo Pro 2 system and wanted one more camera to add to the system. This camera is the ideal one to add because of the Spotlight. Easy to hook up outside, easy to add to the current Arlo system.

The audio is not loud and the battery dies in two days. So if you like once a week or twice climbing roof or fence to charge it the it’s good the siren loud on phone but in real life you question where it comes from. I took back the Swann last week will return this as well.

Pretty decent but I don’t think the batteries last long at all. They state 3-6 months in between charges and I have to charge about every WEEK. And there is a big delay in what’s happening and when I get a notice. A person could be inside my house before I would get a warning.

Works with WiFi and Apple Home kit but For home kit you need a HUB, if don't have a Hub it only stream in the app and I still have not been able it a cloud service, So I don't recommend it.

The device has worked great, although it needs recharging every two weeks or so, and not every six months. If you have a router broadcasting 5g, disable it first or it won't connect to 2.4 G. Recommended.

I’ve had the Arlo pro and pro2 for a while and I like them. They come with the free 1 week cloud storage of videos and the hub. I thought I would be able to add the Essential Spotlight to the hub and get the recordings with the free APP I already have, but you can’t. There is an option to save recordings locally on the hub if you inset a memory card. The only problem with that is you can not view the recordings on the APP, you have to remove the memory card and put it in a tablet or laptop to view them. While I had the free 3 month trial subscription it was great. The battery life is great, I get at least a month with around 25 videos a day. Also the sensing range is about double the pro2, at least 50’.

Camera works well but the Arlo app is subpar. Sometimes we log in and it takes forever to connect. Once it connects the images/video are good.

An excellent addition to my security system. Sync up to existing Arlo hub with b easy. Love the spotlight feature and distinguishes between person and animal when motion detection goes off.

Very disappointed with these cameras . No Battery life . The older arlo cameras are 100% more reliable.

Love it. Love it . The best camera I’ve had so far.

Works great but batteries do not hold charge very long.

The camera isnt bad but the service if there is a problem is terrible. I was told to disconnect all my cameras to reset and when 2 never went back on the repair person said there is nothing he can do to help so Im down 2 cameras and the batteries go out pretty fast - whats the point of having a camera if you cant turn it on 24/7 because the batteries run out so you need a back up camera to use while recharging the other cameras. I have 5 altogether and they ahve all been a headache at some point

Great cameras. Their picture quality is great. They were very easy to set up out of the box too. And their battery lasts a long time.

The quality on these is great. I have the first version and these are significantly better quality. Also I like how they detect person vs car vs animal.

I am only giving this a 3 because the battery life is horrible, I have them plugged in to solar panel chargers 24/7 and the battery still dies daily I have to recharge them at least once or twice a day and it gets annoying since they are mounted on the roof

These are great security cameras. The video is clear day or night. There is a slight delay, but that could be an internet issue.
