Customer Ratings & Reviews

There is a slight time lag from the time the camera picks up motion until it notifies you(3-4 seconds) but it is sensitive enough to pick up a butterfly at close range or a piece of cloth moving in a breeze. Can be a little confusing to set up, and could include better instructions. Overall, though, very good for security of a home or business.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set-up this system. It was literally plug and play. Overall quality of the individual videos are good!

Sound and picture quality is amazing! Only wish the battery lasted longer

These cameras were easy to install, battery life is good, but if cameras are in an active area they do run low. But to re-charge them doesn't take much time.

Super quality video, long battery life, easy to set up and use. If you add a USB hard drive I have 500GB, a whole week of videos are saved, no need to subscribe.

The Arlo Pro 2 is easy to setup. Range of the cameras is decent and the battery life is dependent on activity in the area. My low traffic areas have lasted well over a month whereas high traffic areas are about a week. Pros for me are that you are alerted right away if there is activity and good battery life. Cons: No continuous recording without power to the wireless cameras. Video resolution is said to be 1080p but videos save at 720p. Camera clarity could be better. Grainy when zoomed. Live viewing takes precious time to load. UI doesn’t default to a live view when a camera is alerted. Instead you wait to see what the camera has recorded. Clips are usually only 20 seconds and have a delay in detecting motion. This is a huge deal breaker for me. I recently had a vehicle broken into and the camera detected the perp walking up to the vehicle but did not continue after 20 seconds to record the actual crime. These are okay if you’re home and the alert goes off but there has to be a better option for the cost.

I think this security system is excellent! It had good quality video and his extremely sensitive to motion and sound it is also indoor and outdoor. It has a long battery life and I dont have to charge my camera very often. I feel safe whenever I travel because I can see everything that's going on at home right from my smart phone. I like the option to turn off the alarm but still send phone notifications for movement and sound because I have animals and they set the cameras off inside the house but the alarm doesn't go off so it doesn't scare them unnecessarily.

The video quality is good, the only problem is if you are trying to mount the camera inside the motion detector doesn’t pick up through the glass.

We bought this cameras for our backyard to watch our dog while we were at work. Easy to install, great battery life, and clear picture. Would definitely recommend!

Very happy about purchasing the ARLO 2. Very clear picture and audio. I have already added a 5th camera and setup is easy. Definitely worth the money.

We like these cameras and started with the pro. Then we added another property and more cameras with the Arlo pro 2. More money but it is hard to tell the difference in quality. These are quite expensive cameras maybe cheapen the price by $100 per camera and it would make more sense to do more and use your monthly services. More clear quality is also recommended.

The only this that I have experienced which made this a 4 star and not a 5 star is the battery life drains so fast in my Kitchen unit because its a high traffic area. Otherwise, the optics are fantastic. It was very easy to setup. I may pay the $2.99/mo for facial recognition to see if the added AI changes the battery life. Overall, a great camera system. You can't go wrong.

Before this purchase I owned Blink cameras. After using Arlo cameras these are the best by far. The picture is amazing. The app works great. Don't get me wrong, Blink does a good job too. However, Arlo has a better picture and overall a better system.

Installed these to check in on my mother in law and caretaker when we were away or at work. Peace of mind to be able to see whats going on and we could speak to her and hear her with these also. Very reliable base unit. Rarely a problem connecting. Usually only when base unit auto updates and then it's offline only a few minutes. I also installed one on front of house to watch over the cars and street and back of house to watch door and windows. Records 20 seconds or so when there is movement and can easily be reviewed on phone app or computer.

Cameras are 1080p video is clear. Had to buy additional outside mounts for cameras @ $20 a piece so yeah that should have been included for what it cost for these cameras....Not Best Buy's fault Arlo's. That's why I'm giving 4 stars. Overall pleased with performance of cameras. Mounting was straightforward and I had all 4 cameras mounted and up and running in a couple of hours.

I purchased Arlo Pro 2 after reading reviews and ratings for weeks with hopes that this security device would be just as good as what I had been reading. Within the first week of installing the camera one of the cameras went offline and I had to get in contact with customer service because troubling shooting was just not working. No live view on Apple Watch, you only receive notifications. I’m constantly having to refresh the settings just so the cameras can record because it stops at any time until you notice your not receiving notifications. Pros: Easy setup, Speaker/microphone built in Good quality picture during day time Cons: No time stamp on recordings Not so good in lighting at night because it messes with the camera recording

If you are looking for a good quality camera system that is easy to install (ie. doesn’t require installing electrical outlets if not already close to the desired mounting location), this is the system for you. I was happy with it but returned for the Nest IQ Outdoor since I had already installed electrical outlets to take advantage of some extra features of the Arlo Pro 2 system. The Nest IQ is supposed to have better resolution that should give me the ability to read license plates of cars driving through our cul-de-sac since our kids play in front of our house. We’ll see once the Nest IQ cameras arrive...

Easy, easy , easy to install and set up! The picture is great, covers a large area and has quality sound and clear images. We are very pleased with this system.

Great product. I've had over a year. Easy to use. Connects to phone. Alerts me to any motion. Definitely recommend

So easy to set up and I do mean easy. Yeah you have to charge them but that’s easy too. I’ve had them installed outside and they work great. Great video and audio.
