Problematic
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first set of Arlo cameras worked great. I bought two. Later I added these and it said that they were compatible. They keep disconnecting and I am constantly rebooting them. My original two cameras work just fine still. So, I would not buy these to add to an older system like I did. My first system was the Arlo 2. Those working fine still.

Great Quality!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little camera. The spotlight isn’t super bright but does just enough to make the picture “colorized” at night. Arlo has really gotten better and better

Good buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it. I like it’s two way and I can turn on/ off the spot light when I am ready. The picture is clearer. One down side. It eats up battery life very quickly.

Great camera with affordable price
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had been debating between Arlo and 2 other cameras. I was so thrilled when the opportunity came to try Arlo essentials spotlight. I am so thrilled that I will get another for backside of home. My current one is facing front entrance and it has a wide view so I can see any motion nearby, delivery person, etc. I had a notice that my food delivery came, I checked camera didn't see anything or anyone. I called and explain my camera isn't agreeing to that so 1/2 hour later they sent another delivery which I could watch on my app. Pictures are clear, you can set sensitive level to alerts. I love that you can set spotlight to come on when it senses motion and you can 2 way speak to anyone nearby. You can also see late at night when it's dark. I like the security of screwing it outside my door instead of being magnetic. I hope it stays for close to 6 months without having to charge it cause I borrowed a ladder. To charge you have to unscrew camera and charge with USB, which is simple enough. That would be the only drawback because while it's charging inside I can't use it outside of course. But as long as it doesn't take all day to recharge it should be fine. Setting up camera was so very simple and they have tons of videos to watch if needed. It snowed this weekend and that didn't affect the camera at all, it worked just as well covered in snow.
