The only negative thing i have to say is, in my situation, i needed different wall mounts. The ones that come in the box with the cameras are only good of you were setting up the cameras straight onto something. I bought the mounts that were adjustable. Just what i needed.

I love these cameras. When i first got them they would not work with my Samsung phone. It would make a terrible screeching noise when i tried to talk to anyone through them. I went through their tech support and they went above and beyond to create a firmware update to fix the issue. Have been phenomenal since. Battery lasts about a month and a half but i have a ton of traffic that goes by my house. Takes a while to fully charge. All in all great product!

Poor support and subscription based features

The cameras are far from great. They have plenty of glitches. They claim to have "activity zones" to detect motion and that function rarely works as claimed. The most irritating thing happened recently and is going to make me abandon them and seek something different. They provided a free trial offer (which you couldn't opt out of) of their subscription based features. Once the free trial ended, I can no longer access features that were previously available before the free trial. The item I speaking specifically about is being able to view records in the "feed" of the app. I now have to dig further down into the app to view a recording. I tried to contact support to understand how this functionality could be removed and because my camera's are out of warranty, I couldn't even chat with a support person. Good bye ARLO! I don't like the way to eliminate features once your cameras are beyond warranty and try to force you to join a subscription based plan.
Thanks for your review. We will share your feedback with the development team. We also want to let you know that some features are still available without an Arlo Subscription. You can read more about them here: https://kb.arlo.com/000062312.
We appreciate your support and understanding.
Best regards, Arlo Team

Great cameras with exceptional video quality. The charge lasts a few months at a time.

Great cameras …. They do the job well…. Only reason I have 4 stars instead of 5, is because I wish they were compatible with Apples homekit app when using the Arlo bridge. Hopefully Arlo has a software update coming soon to fix this. If so I would change to 5 stars.

Easy setup with stable connectivity and reliable app. Just have to know the limitations on a fully-wireless system, and with any the potential network security concerns/bandwidth and # of connections overload.
No bad experiences after a year+ of use. Switching from a major security company to Arlo and so far better products at much cheaper cost.
Great features for the price point and regularly on sale.

Video quality is great but somehow didn't pick up a black bear that was in my driveway. Also, very finicky wifi. My Google Nests have a range of over 50 feet into the yard but cameras had trouble picking up signal from 10 feet away.
