    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.

    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.

    I wanted to upgrade my original Arlo cameras and I am so happy I did. First of all, the response time is so much faster. Second, the video is so much clearer. Third, I eliminated the "hub" and everything is directly connected to my wifi.

    Relatively inexpensive. Battery life seems okay so far. Camera sure misses a lot though and the short clips ( while action is taking place) are very annoying. Sometimes won't record vehicle or person at edge of my driveway but will record traffic on street an extra 100-200 yards away !? The "zones" are pretty much useless. It somewhat filled a temporary need but thats about it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
