    I bought this set and it work awesome. Bad part was I have to be a member to alro in order to record, otherwise it will still work to view but will not record. The light keeps turning on even when motion is off which drain out too much battery only lasting 3 days and I have to take off and charge it.

    Install everything really quick in one day. Only cons is that you need a subscription for better features.

    It would be a 5 star rating. However, it was disappointing when I learnt that Arlo does not have Cloud plans in Puerto Rico. Even though, PR is a US territory. I was about to return them. Due to the circumstances with the COVID-19, I decided to keep it and deal with an USB storage device. I also believe that the customer assistant should explain this to avoid misunderstandings.

    We LOVE this system! Easy to install, great clarity and keeps you informed of any movement around your home. Economical security system that is hands on. Highly recommend this product.

    I have the original Arlo and was excited to get these however they do not work as I hoped they would. The response is slow or non existent. My daughter left cameras pick up activity when these do not. The pictures are much better and the tracking is nice. My husband and I are very disappointed in them.

    Despite adjusting settings to prolong battery life, the time between recharging is disappointing with barely a month between charges. Furthermore, the software running the activity zones is flawed. I routinely receive alerts outside the activity zone. I'm disappointed given the price point.

    Poor Arlo services

    The main reason for buying arlo was for the 7 day free cloud storage, but for the arlo pro 3 you must have a subscription for the cloud storage. Only with an external storage you can access recordings but must be in the same network to view it. I found out after the free month trial and could not return it either, don’t get scammed and go for the pro 2.

    • Brand response from Arlo Team
      Posted .

      Hello Isaac,
      Thank you for taking the time to share your Arlo Pro 3 review.
      Here is a breakdown of the functions available without an Arlo Smart Subscription:
      1) Motion alerts - You will continue to receive simple alerts via push notifications and/or email notifications.
      2) Recordings - When synced to a compatible Arlo SmartHub, you can use local storage for recordings. Recordings will be saved up to 2K quality. Additionally, you can also view your recordings via the Arlo App when you have Direct Storage Access enabled: https://kb.arlo.com/000062337
      3) Device page in App loads with an image from the last detected motion event, instead of the most recent stream.

      Please note, Smart services such as e911, Package Detection, Smart Alerts and Cloud Recordings are only available with subscription.

      If you need further assistance with your Arlo system, please reach out to your Support team by visiting: https://www.arlo.com/en-us/support/contact.aspx

      Best Regards,
      Arlo Team

    These cameras suck! Would not recommend.

    Regret purchasing these Arlo cameras. Heed my warnings before purchasing. Unreliable to detect motion from a distance, and in low light. By the time cameras record (if they even do), they rarely capture anything significant. Accessing Arlo on my desktop is hit or miss. 80% of the time, cameras will not connect quickly enough to view! Need to refresh my browser constantly and by that time, it's too late! When cameras do record, the length is too short and stops even though a subject is still on cam. They truly suck and would not recommend if your looking for security. Glad we have 4 dogs. They do a much beter job!

    The weather here in Illinois hasn't been to good for installing the cameras. I have one set up on the porch and am having a problem getting it set to catch motion. I have it set to the most sensitive setting for motion but it still has a problem with picking up movement. I'll have to get back with further info after I have had them up for a while.

    Easy setup and very good quality video's. Still have a few more of the cameras to install out of total of 4, but expecting they will function as well as what I have installed currently.
