    Always disconnecting for base, need to reconnect every time. Removed and reinstalled and still had problem, used a different base but that didn't work either

    I love the clearness of the picture! I was hesitating on purchasing due to the price however I do not regret one bit due to the picture and sound. Not to mention the brightness of the spotlight at night that helps me feel secure when I get home late at night.

    The price alone should make you want this guy. I have this over looking my driveway, it gives me piece of mind that no one is peeping in to my cars or scoping out my house. Yes im paranoid, home burglaries will do that to a guy. Add in that you can tie it in to your hub for a secure connection out to the internet with subnet isolation and I am all on on this cam!! Couple this thing with Arlo Smart($2.99/cam) and an Arlo smart doorbell and you will sleep much better at night. Highly recommended!!

    The cameras themselves are excellent. The quality is good, but my only issue is the company and how they have their interface set up.

    Looking for a camera to watch our pond in the backyard. Our whole house has Nest products and was looking into their outdoor camera so I could have it all on one app. I saw this was rechargeable and read some of the reviews. I like that I can also put it on a camera tripod and move it around if I want. The app for it is nice. The picture is great! The infrared at night works great and you can have a spot light come on if you want. Wifi range is good, it is about 50 feet from the house.

    This camera was a great addition to add to my Arlo set up along with the previous 3. I wish I had purchased another Essential XL earlier because the bigger battery allows it to operate a very long time between charges.

    So far this camera is working great. No issues when mounted with a hook that slips into the siding of the house. My issue is the pain it was to get this setup in Apple Homekit. Searching the internet, chating with an agent, countless hours wasted all to find out that it seems setup worked only when cellular and bluetooth was turned off. I am using a arlo smart hub to connect with homekit and that was even more confusing and convoluted. App instructions were outdated and not matching the newer updated version of the arlo app.

    Too bad they didn't come out with these when I first purchased the Arlo cameras. Say good bye to purchasing batteries every couple of weeks :-)

    So far so good had it since June 29th and battery is on 34% may be just because of the settings it pretty much captures all motions by back fence. But very clear picture daytime and decent picture at night I can still make out. My trial doesn’t end until September so will see if I need to purchase anything after that point or will it still work the same. Went with this cause they said I wouldn’t but we shall see!
