    I really like this security system. Clear pictures. Just need to tweak the sensitivity so it doesn’t set your phone off all day. Once you have the settings that you want it’s a great system.

    The spotlight camera is awesome, alerts me to everything that happens in the area it monitors, and the ai system helps me know exactly what triggered the notice instead of just saying "motion detected"

    Arlo Essential XL Security Camera is a great buy

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

    Fantastic, highly accurate and very clear security camera that works wirelessly and holds its charge for up to a year. Great if unsightly outdoor wires and/or finding a plug to keep your camera charged is difficult for you.

    I give 4stars because I have to pay to get all the features but I like it for now will buy more if I don’t have to pay monthly or at least if Arlo drops the monthly bill to at least $0.99.each camera or $3.99 month for unlimited cameras

    It has great quality, super easy to setup and I'm a basic stooge. Having access to get live video and how it automatically saves clips is the best part.

    The Arlo Essential XL is easy to set up and install. I have 4 of them which I purchased after my car was broken into. I especially like the spotlight, which tells intruders they are on camera.

    Excellent camera system! Easy to set up. The videos are high quality. All functions can be controlled from the app (sensitivity, motion, area, on/off). The app is very “user-friendly”!

    I had installed a competitors product only to realize that it wasnt detecting motion well even after trying many adjustments.The Arlo Essential XL Spotlight Camera worked great right out of the box and the option to set activity zones made it even more useful !
