    Overall I like the Arlo cameras. This one I put on the back of my house in addition to the other 2 I have up. One draw back is that this one due to the placement alerts us on motion detected a lot. I have adjusted the sensitivity to almost the lowest setting and we still get alerts. It is very windy and there are lots of things moving in the background, so I get it, just a little annoying. This also causes the battery to drain faster than the other cameras I have up.

    This is the perfect camera for constant recording. However I will need to buy more. The view isn't very big. We had to triage our neighbors and make the view on the neighbors we want protected. The ex firefighter, veteran and an ex employee of the public defender won.

    Good overall value. The options are such that you can adjust the spotlight, area picked up, etc. These allow us to view all our entrances and see lots of wildlife around at night! The batteries do tend to drain if you are active around them during the day, but we deactivate them to save the battery life.

    We upgraded to this camera and I LOVE IT! It works great, I love that I can have the image show up on my other Google items, so even if I don't have my phone on me and I can see what is going on outside. Easy to install, easy to use, and it hasn't gone offline once since we had it like our other one. Love it.

    Love it. Ordered on-line to pick up at store, process was quick and efficient. Extremely easy to install. Once installed, you can select individual options on each camera, which makes it easy based on type of traffic at each camera. The package of 3 is sufficient for the space we have.

    Pretty satisfied with my new cameras. I have two other systems blink and ring. My Arlo was easy to set up and very functional online monitoring. Definitely the best camera clarity. My main disappointment is the battery life. While it’s not as bad as some reviews I’ve read it’s not as good as the blank which last almost a year. I am charging my Arlo every 2wks.

    This product is easy to use however, needs to be charged frequently and that alone is to inconvenient-having to get up on the ladder and taking it down to charge.
