    Setup

    Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Great Camera, Audio Issues

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

    These cameras work great and were very easy to setup. I am able to connect to the Arlo app and see what my cameras see at any time. The only downside for me is the two way audio. I can hear sound from the camera, but the microphone is so quiet on the camera that the person the other end can't hear me. I don't know if this is normal operation or if this is just an issue with my cameras but I will be contacting customer support very soon to find out. Other than the audio issue everything has worked great for me

    Good affordable home security

    Cameras were easy to set up with the app and install being wireless. Good wifi connection for front porch and detached garage. Video is great and audio picks up sound well. I like being able to set up active zones and smart notifications to eliminate unnecessary ones. On free trial still but working great and will be worth the monthly fee per camera for recordings storage, active zones and smart notifications. Good peace of mind with these installed.

    Love the camera, waiting to see about battery life

    I've really liked the camera so far. It's nice to add a bit of light to my back yard. My only concern is that the battery seems to be going down quicker than expected, but it's too soon for me to tell exactly how long it'll last.

    The installation and set up process was super easy it only took about 5 min total to complete. The quality of the video is good and the microphone is great you can hear every little sound and you can hear voices really clear. The speaker on the camera is not good because no matter if you have the volume full blast the person on the other side of the camera has a hard time hearing what you are saying through the speaker and the alarm function is not as loud as you would think it should be in order to scare any intruders.

    We added this camera to already extensive Arlo camera line up and we couldn’t be more pleased with the Spotlights night surveillance capability, we look forward to adding more spotlights in the near future!

    Could use an insert (directions) to connect to WiFi or “trouble shooting” Took way too long to get the camera online. Once the camera was online and working correctly, smooth sailing... great camera, and excellent night mode!

    Setup was easy and the alerts are quick and intelligent. In the alert it lets you know if it’s an animal, package or motion. Then you can access the live feed fast enough to still see the action.

    Works well. Sometimes audio is a bit off, but that could be due to my Wi-Fi.
