    Good product. Not clear on instructions regarding recording of events. Now I have purchased additional base unit with the hope it will perform recording of events as they occur.

    Bought as an add on to my existing camera's. Spot lights aren't really all that great but let's someone know there being watched. They are much more sensitive than my older arlo camera's. Would definitely recommend to others

    Subscription Trap

    These bad boys will cost you 40$ a month after the free trial wears off. 10$ per camera/month. You lose access to your library/recordings and only get live view without paying. I have a ton of these cameras, they used to come with a base and record for free. These news ones rob you blind, look for something else

    Battery Life is Terrible

    On the box it says it has a 6 month battery life and after 1 month of use, the battery dies almost every week. Constant charging makes it extremely annoying.
