    Great Camera

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

    The camera was easy and quick to setup, the spotlight and color night vision is much better than our older model cameras. Our old cameras had great battery life, with the larger battery we should be able to go almost a year without charging them. I am very happy with the performance of all of our Arlo products.

    Simple setup, very easy to use. I had the camera set up and ready to go in only a few minutes. Mounted to second floor overlooking my driveway. Great picture, gets all of my driveway and out into the street. Night vision is much better than Nest. Already thinking about adding another camera. Great product!!!

    I have been using the essentials for over a year now and they have been great. I received notice that the Essential XL Spotlight was on sale so I decided to give it a try, and WOW I wish I had done it sooner. The battery life is incredible. I have since ordered two more, very happy with the new XL spotlight.

    Good cameras a few issues

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

    I put up four Essential XLs and a Doorbell. 3 of the XLs with Solar Panels. It all seems to work well, though it would be better with local storage (like an SD card in each camera) but you have to use cloud. And since you have to use cloud the 3 month Smart trial is quite helpful. Unfortunately one of my XLs didnt offer the trial even though the box said it was included. I chatted with support and got a case number, but no solution to the "no trial" problem.
