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

Subscription Need for Video Feed After 60 Day

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
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.

Words good, sedición it not the best but it is enough for residential cameras easy to install and I want a say they will be better with a longer battery life becouse in my case in particular I had to use solar panel to avoid the charging step frequently

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!

Product is excellent has Clearer video, longer battery life and like since almost three months since I purchased and place it. I didn’t recharge yet and still has more than half battery life at the moment. Worth the price.

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.
