    Extremely easy to set up and administer

    Between the extra-large battery life, simple set up and operation and the extremely reasonable price, it’s a no brainer. After unboxing I had this installed, setup and operational in under ½ hour. Plus for a mere $3.00 per month for storage, you cannot go wrong with this camera. 5 Starts all the way!!

    I have multiple ARLO's covering entry and exits points on my property, the wireless capability allows me to easily install whereever it makes most secure sense. Easily connects to my existing network. The app allows me to access my cameras anytime and anywhere I'm connected to ensure all is safe.

    I love this camera. The overall quality of the camera and all of its functions are the best and it’s more affordable then other cameras I have looked into. The best part is the application the cameras connect too, it’s designed well and works perfect.

    Great functionality with a few hiccups

    The Spotlight XL camera couldn’t be easier to set up physically. The hardest part was just finding the right spot so that I got the field of view that I wanted. Getting it connected to our network was a little trickier. Since they only operate on 2.4GHz, I had to manually force my router to disable 5GHz WiFi during the setup process. Most routers shouldn’t have this problem, but mine uses the same SSID for both 2.4 and 5GHz, so there was no way to easily force it onto the 2.4GHz network. After I got it on the network, I haven’t had any issues even after I re-enabled the 5GHz WiFi on my router. The App makes it very easy to manage the setting of the camera, and you can Arm or Disarm the system easily across multiple cameras. I’m curious to see how long the battery life will actually last now that they are in use, but hopefully I shouldn’t need to charge them more than twice a year.

    Great camera for the money, could use a removable battery so you could charge a spare and don’t have to remove the camera to charge

    It's a big camera. But, it's supposed to last 1 year on a single charge. So, I expected the battery to be big.

    Purchased this camera to view our motorhome (living in while building a house) and cars. Placed camera at peak of barn we are parked in front of. Great view of the entire area that we want to keep an eye on. Love the alerts for movement sent directly to our phone. Great camera!

    I installed a pair on my boat, one camera inside and one outside. There is good wifi, so I am not using a base station. I am very happy with the quality of the audio, the video, and the zone motion detection is a very nice touch.
