Great buy for the money. In operation for about a month and very happy with our purchase. Told the salesman what we were looking for and he gave us a couple options and we asked what he recommended and he didn’t disappoint us.

We purchased 1 Arlo Essential XL Outdoor Camera and 1 Essential Indoor Camera. Very happy with both products! Clear video & audio with an easy to use App on your phone. Exactly what we were looking for in home security.

I cant believe how clear the video is. My family has other brands but i was pretty set on getting these and im glad i did. Still learning more about them from friends but overall great camera so far.

Honestly they have good video quality but I hate that it doesn’t record 24/7 only when there Is movement. Plus sometimes one camera will record a scene and the other won’t even tho they both are facing the same direction! I would not buy any more Arlo cameras.

The cameras are really helpful. The only thing that annoyed us was the fact that all photos show cameras can turn and be set installed on the wall but they actually do not.

These are not good cameras for high-traffic areas unfortunately. Initially the battery lasted about a month or so but then the battery life dropped significantly and I found myself having to recharge more often and even reducing the settings so that it only records a snapshot instead of video to help save battery.
Ultimately this was not an ideal situation and totally defeated the purpose of buying cameras for me. I also think the heat negatively affected them, they started to glitch after some pretty hot days.
I do have a cam inside the house that only records at night and that’s been great, but only because it’s hardly ever triggered.
I really wanted to enjoy these cameras because I owned them back in the day and had really positive experiences with them, but unfortunately I had to switch to Ring cameras with the solar panels and it’s been an incredibly seamless transition so far.

These work great! The gentleman at Best Buy was extremely helpful. He guided me to just what I was looking for. We use these to watch wildlife. Off grid is great!!
