Quick and easy to connect to WiFi and update. Good video when motion is detected and easy to watch real time footage.

Picture on phone was clear, good nighttime views, small enough so it’s not easily noticed. Giving a 3 because it’s needs to be charged with a USB, which is not easy to do with an outside camera
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Subscription Need for Video Feed After 60 Day

I've owned two Arlo Pro 2 cameras with a hub for over three years, and during that time, I could view a 7-day feed without needing a subscription plan. Recently, I purchased new cameras due to connectivity issues with the old cameras, but after the 60-day trial, I can no longer access the feed without a subscription. The camera performs great. I'm okay with not having cloud storage for days or weeks of past footage, I want to access the daily feed to monitor my elderly loved one without paying a monthly fee. I would have considered a different camera or brand if I had known this before purchasing. Now, I must pay at least $19.99 to view the feed for two cameras.

These are heavy and hard to connect. They are not as good as blink and the app is not user friendly.

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 will give them a three because I bought the Arlo 2 and it still works great, recording to the cloud without a subscription. But I returned this one because the question and answers said it recorded the cloud without a subscription. This is not true fine. In fact, they’re all taking advantage of people now where they offered free cloud storage for seven days for free and now everybody has to pay to use their product. Free screenshots are useless.

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!
