    The batteries don’t last very long if you put in high traffic area, even with sensitivity turned down.

    Overall like the cameras and system. I would like it even more if the motion detection range was extended.

    Great picture quality. Night vision is ok at night but i recommend the security lights to boost the quality at night. Batteries are decent. Needs a good quality internet for these to work as they were designed to.

    I wrestled with getting security cameras for a while. I didn't want to have to pay a subscription fee to access my own recordings. There is no subscription needed for Arlo, though some are available. I like that I can download video that I may need to external storage on the main hub. Arlo keeps videos for 7 days on the free plan, but this ability is what sold me on the product.

    I picked up the 4 camera Pro2 kit, offering sightly better resolution that the Pro version. Installation was simple, just requiring a few screws for each camera mount (I purchased extra mounts from a third party) and charging each camera. Syncing cameras to the base station was simple, just remember to keep separation of 6-10ft between the two when binding and some distance from your wireless router, otherwise bonding won't work. The app is simple to use and permits rules to given when the cameras work (away from home, at night, etc). Battery life is great. I've only just had to charge the cameras after 4 months but I manage their use with rules and give tuning motion activation.

    This is a good value item. I wanted security cameras that I did not need to hard wire as I could be moving. Additionally, the video quality is excellent. Ensure that you have the bandwidth to accommodate the cameras.

    I did A LOT of research before choosing Arlo. They are wireless, have a great picture, comes with free cloud storage (I subscribed, but they do have free as well), and their app works great. Highly recommended

    Nice to find security cameras that actually work just as I wanted! The capacity to change the the sound and motion sensitivity settings was a real bonus for me. The videos are clear with good audio quality.

    Installation to Operation it’s a quick & easy step. No wiring headache. Battery usage was fast on the beginning after recharging & adjusting the camera always from street traffic it save a lot of usage. Motion sensor too sensitive it will pickup even a single leaf movement on the floor, I try to adjusted the motion sensitivity & it does not help. Camera cannot be too far from base station, WiFi signal will get too weak, it will drain battery faster & it won’t support WiFi extender.

    Arlo’s are great when they work. After owning them for about a year, once camera went “red” apparently a common issue. Battery life sucks compared to other brands. I pay for the upgraded service and it’s pretty much a waste compared to my Canary cameras. I do not recommend these if you live in high traffic area.

    This system provides instant clear video. It picks up on the the slightest movement. A spider went over the camera and activated it. Sometimes, if the wind is very strong, that will set if off too.

    Disappointing performance

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

    Had high hopes based upon Arlo website & spec's, but equipment is lacking in several areas. Infrared night performance is non-existent - you must have the area fully lit to realize any sort of view-able content. Not at all as depicted in examples on Arlo's site. The cameras have a very broad horizontal view, so expect to get quite a few false hits from any movement outside of your desired target. There is an activation zone feature that will help eliminate this problem, however, it requires a subscription to activate. The provided magnetic mounts aren't much use. The magnetic is so strong that you really can't get that slight adjustment you want to make - its going to go where it wants to. Lastly, quality customer support could possibly help address these concerns, but expected to be transferred half-way around the world, given a case number, then left hanging with no effective response provided. If I had it to do-over, would seek out a different option.

    The quality is nice, the hardware feels nice, the battery life is incredible, but there's no 3rd party app support, you can't leave them on/viewable on a screen without timing out, they don't arm when I leave my home. There's more cons to these than positives. I regret buying them.
