    Great quality cámaras, microphone is clear, you can talk and hear people. Make sure you buy a WiFI extender otherwise the battery is going to die faster

    Easy to use, helpful customer service for setting it up. It's great because it lets me know when I've received packages ans they don't have to sit on the porch until I notice, which can sometimes be hours later; I feel that my family is safer now knowing who is at the d00r bef0rew opening it;,Tahnks

    Very easy to setup and operate. The two issues are the lifespan of one of the cameras and that is is very sensitive to everything (motion).

    Overall this is a good camera, set up is easy as long as your phone is 2 ghz wifi capable. Picture quality is good, audio is clear but 2 way audio is low. Customer service takes a while to get but they are helpful. You have to pay for a subscription to get recordings amd my recordings have been hit and miss. I will get a notification of motion but no recordings so not sure if its the camera or the app. Overall good quality for the price will get more

    ARLO App does not work can't see footage

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

    ARLO has added security to the app so now, I keep having to change my password. We can no longer log in from 2 phones - like we have been doing for years. After I changed the password again today, the app has a message that reads "please enable push from settings." So I did, Still cannot log in. I am selling these cheap and going to put the review everywhere I can find! I am a private investigator who has been recommending these cameras for year. I do no know why ARLO would mess up the security so badly that the app is not usable. I called them, they said there is nothing they can do to help me get into my account. They said try reloading the app....after 15 years. WOW NO MORE ARLO.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Not worth the money. Half of it’s touted features require a paid monthly subscription. Cameras take forever to load image on App, often doesn’t load at all. Cameras unpair on their own and often won’t re-pair. I’ve tried updating software, resetting, etc, still no dice.
