Arlo Camera's A+
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had Arlo camera's for several years. I really like them. I know you have to replace batteries but if you set them up right they last me about 6 months. The doorbell camera is also very good.

Don't Believe the Hype
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 4 cameras!! I wish I would have swiped to a different cameras! Picks up any motion, even a bee buzzing by! Was unable to use to full capacity wothout a subscription! Then to make matters worse, I upgraded my WiFi and the cameras cease to work. I placed the cameras on 2.4 and they still would not load. This was 5 months ago! Now I am stuck with $600 of nothing!!

Must have

Gets the job done
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To begin, go to your app store and download the app (the Arlo app is a light green hummingbird with a dark green background and the category is "Lifestyle"). Create an account and then get started. As you are following the prompts, you get to a video that shows you how to install the camera. This was one of the easiest cameras to install for me. The video is so easy to understand, and the steps involved in setting up the camera are very quick and easy. I love the fact that it has no wires to connect to the house. It is all wireless, so make sure you have great connection. If you do not, you can always get a WIFI extender to help. To mount the unit on the outside, you only need a Philips or flathead screwdriver or power drill. It took me two minutes and three screws (these were provided in the box) to mount the base (the green arrow must point up) where the unit gets screwed into. One of the easiest installations ever. Once you are in the app, you make changes to the settings. At the top right corner of the app’s home screen, is a red circle with a white shield. If you press this button a window at the bottom of the screen pops up with the options call 911, call a friend, or activate the siren. You will have to setup the call 911 and call friend features on this. The siren you can test out now. Press “activate siren”, then it will ask you to select your device and then press it. Then swipe the red button to turn on the siren. I tested it, and it has a piercing sound then switches to a siren sound (like an ambulance sound). I didn’t think it was loud enough to get someone’s attention who is inside their house. From my room at the back of the house, it was difficult to hear, and this was with no other noise in the house. I’m pretty sure a neighbor who has a tv on in their house will not be able to hear the alarm. At night if the alarm goes off, perhaps. But I do wish the alarm was louder. In all fairness, I did not try to call customer support to get help for this. This is the feature that knocked my rating down by one star. The light on the unit is very bright. The video quality is 2K, and it looks very clear and crisp in the videos that the app records. You can also take snapshots and the pictures are also crisp and clear. At the bottom of the app, you have an icon for the library. I love how this is arranged. Once you press this icon, you have the days at the top of the screen that you can select and then all the videos and pictures appear below. If you do not have any videos or pictures, you cannot select the day. On the home screen you have a picture from the camera’s POV. This is the live screen. If you press the play button, you get a live feed. Below this picture at the bottom right corner, you will see a little gear. Press this and a window pops up for the device settings. Scroll down to “device utilities”. This is where you can make adjustments to the camera positioning and the motion detection test. This camera is best used along a flat wall or an inside corner (not the corner of the outside of the house). It has a range of 160 degrees. You get a free 3-month trial where your videos are stored on the cloud for 30 days. If you go to arlo.com, you can select the premier plan for $2.99/mo (one camera) or $9.99/mo (up to 5 cameras). This is the second camera I have setup with Arlo, and the installation in the app was even easier the second time around. My recommendation is this is a good product that gets the job done. There are some features that I would need more time to figure out how to use to get the most out of my unit. The resolutions for the pictures and videos are great. The siren is not loud enough for me, but hopefully loud enough to deter any break-ins and catch other people’s attention. The light is very bright at night and offers good natural looking lighting.
