I found these on sale and the quality is fantastic.
I got them to watch my puppies from work to make sure they were okay. The program lets several people watch and converse with the pups from the wall. It's great!

.... I would have liked to have had the ability for plug in batteries vs only internal chargables. Longer life, however, is very true - have had for 3 months now and batteries are only down to 68% with deer being the biggest hams for the camera.

I have been using the cameras for about 45 days or so now and the battery on one of my very active cameras, with the video quality up the whole way is still at 65%!! I can’t believe how well the batteries hold their charge! Also, the quality of the videos they record is outstanding as well as having great sound quality. Would 100% buy again! Have been very impressed and well worth their cost.

The previous version of the Essential was the best at 1089p and a battery that would EASILY last over a year. This version is way better at 2K and a battery life that’s reportedly well over a year. Makes remote positioning outside through the long northern Michigan winters a breeze!

Easy to install and setup. A subscription is NOT required u can save video on an external device. The mobile app is nice and if you get a subscription it’s really nice. Both versions are easy to use. Cameras give high quality.

Great cameras ! Very clear video with a motion sensor light for night time so the videos are in color . I replaced these with the arlos I've had for 6 years since the battery's where old . Dashboard for these are much easier to use than the old ones .Very happy with them .
