    I’ve had multiple wireless cameras and Arlo is by far the best one I Have Ever Owned. Always Good quality videos during the day and also at night. I also love how you can charge the cameras via USB no batteries needed, and all the smart features that it comes with with easy access from the app. Will be buying all Arlo Cameras for now on.

    I was drawn to this camera specifically because of the extended battery life. They don't last long if you're on a halfway busy street and they get triggered often. I get almost double the amount of time over the previous Arlo Pro 2 version. Very happy with purchase and did exactly what I expected.

    We had an intruder on our front entrance patio. In one night our peace of mind was taken away. In one afternoon after purchasing these cameras I was all set up with great resolution and even the night in color. A surprising feature is to record sound. Fast and simple to install

    I was looking for something affordable to monitor our front door area with minimal setup pain. The Arlo Essential XL met all those criteria, and best of all, allowed for a ‘no added cost’ option since the camera automatically comes with a free rolling 7-day cloud video storage feature.

    Bought these for the exterior of my office building. Very easy to set up...I have an existing account. I would highly recommend them! The fact they are wireless was the reason I bought them. Could not easily/affordably run wires to the 3 locations where these were needed.

    Video quality and sound is amazing. We’ve had it about a week and no issues with connectivity. We live in a condo with glass doors looking out to the street, so sometimes we will get a false alert for someone walking by.

    I mounted this camera on side of the house with the companion Solar Cell. The battery stays 100% charged all of the time. The cameras 1080 resolution meets my needs and the spotlight intensity is adjustable. I’m happy.
