    Not Sure yet

    On paper, the Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera seemed to be perfect for our needs. We are using it at a small vacation home and with no need to connect it to a hub and long-term batteries, what more could we want. But we asked a friend to go into the house to test it for us and he walked all around without the cameras picking him up. We got that solved, but we still can't get notifications to work, even though we get notifications with no problem from the cameras at our regular home. Stay tuned.

    When it works, does a nice job. Problem I had was genuine lack of consistency. Would go days without proper functioning. The largest disappointment for me was Arlo customer service. Actually, a lack of timely customer service. 4-6 days at a time to respond? I gave up. And, sold it. Replaced with a competitor's camera, which has been flawless.

    Arlo - Essential Spotlight Camera

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I installed this camera, it was not easy because I have 5G router, the only way you can find wifi 2.4 is stepping outside of the house and search for a spot until you see the 2.4 showing on your phone. After all I am still happy to have extra security and I can keep an eye on my cats when I go out of town.

    Good value for the price

    The Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera is a great little devise for the money. It covers a pretty large area and comes with a motion sensor light and two-way microphone. We had it installed and up and running in less than 30 minutes. We're actually thinking of getting a second one for the back of the house. I recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive security camera.
