    Really great video quality. I’ve paired this with three other cameras and a floodlight for total home security. I love the light the little spotlight that comes on when the camera is activated.

    Love this camera. It was easy to add to my existing Arlo app and very easy to charge and install. This camera is an addition to previously cameras installed and I do recommend it.

    Is a good product. Hopefully the battery keeps working. I had one in the past and the battery only lasted one day near the end. Trying to keep it on Settings so it’s not recording all the time because of cars.

    This is exactly what I was looking for. One of my complaints for prior cameras was that the battery ran out so quickly. However, this one packs a punch and can last much longer than the others. The sensitivity of this camera is great and covers "blind" spots that other cameras hadn't picked up on before.

    Installed and synced with my other Arlos instantly. Install took 10 mins total. Works great and the spotlight is bright. 10/10 would recommend, doesn’t get better at this price point.

    I've had an existing arlo pro 2 system set up for a while and it was super easy to add it to the base station. I've had it up for about a week and it seems the battery has only gone down 2% with decent amount of alerts coming from it. Knocked off one star because it still uses micro usb when the entire world is moving to usb c.

    Very sharp and detailed views for a non 4K camera! Battery life is very long with the built in battery. Easily joins existing array of Arlo cameras using a base station.

    I currently have two of these installed and am happy with them. The first one I put up started to get foggy in the early morning hours and had to return for replacement. I don't think this is a common issue. The wireless application is very nice and the cameras I currently have up are working well.

    Just replaced some older, gen 1, Arlo cameras. So far the newer cameras are much more feature rich than the older ones. I am still having some configuration issues with my Arlo Doorbell. I'm a big fan of Arlo products having had the original Arlo cameras for many years.
