Camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had some problems with a couple of these cameras but overall they have served my purpose
I would recommend this to a friendBrand Loyalty!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first generation version of this camera was my first smart home security purchase and 4 years later they are still going strong! That is what has inspired me to purchase these. The technology has improved and these are WAY better then the first gen. Fear not for the old guys they will still be on the job.

Arlo awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera clear picture, would definitely recommend
I would recommend this to a friend Tried it but had to return it.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I brought this system but had to return it because one of the cameras didn't work. Not matter how many times i tried to connect it to the app it could never drtect thst one. I do think this was a dud and not reflective of the brand's quality so I would recommend it and I plan to try it again.

Not Paying for Monitoring.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am giving this camera a one star. I already owned a different camera and this one was an add on to the system that I already owned. I was never informed that this camera unlike my legacy cameras requires a subscription. I have been using this camera for 3 months without incident. All of a sudden it quit storing my video in the cloud as it did for the first 3 months. Now Arlo is telling me that I need a subscription. Do not buy this camera. I would not have purchased it if I had known about this. I have other legacy Arlo products and they do not require a subscription. They record and store video for 7 days free. In order to get this system to work as expected I either need a subscription, or a new base station that will allow me to store the video locally and access the video through the app. I will be adding security cameras to my home security system and paying a monitoring fee to them instead of Arlo. Very unhappy!!!!!
