Decent systems
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would have given 5star rating if it wasn't for the setup process for the hub glitching out and not working. We did finally get it but it was a process.

Security Camera system
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the Arlo system, only concern is how sensitive they are to the wind. Camera clarity is really good.
I would recommend this to a friendGood cameras….but need costly subscription
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this particular brand because of the reviews I read online. What wasn’t explained was the fact that they required a subscription to function. Returned and bought Ring instead.

Defective & Poor Battery Life | Lasts 1-2 Weeks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not recommend. 2 out of the 3 cameras battery life last about a week not the 6 months that they claim. I swapped the batteries out to see if it was a bad battery but it was not the battery. Arlo Pro4 are defective devices. One star for the one camera that has an average battery life about a month. I guess that's better than the other two. Thumbs down to the quality of the devices.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your Arlo Pro 4 experience. The Arlo Pro 4 camera batteries last approximately 3–6 months with average use. Average use assumes that you are using Optimized or Best Battery Life video settings and that your cameras record for approximately five minutes per day. The following environmental factors also reduce battery life: 1) Temperatures below 32°F (0°C) 2) Low-light environments that require infrared sensors to work harder and 3) Weak connection to the base station/router. Check out this article for tips on extending your Arlo Pro 4 camera battery life: http://bit.ly/2p4WquW. If you require additional assistance, please send us an email at askarlo@arlo.com and include a screenshot of your review, your email address linked to your Arlo account and your contact number.

Great items
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras are a whole lot better than the Arlo two So many more features we love them
I would recommend this to a friendBlurry picture when using zoom on app
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When zooming in, picture becomes very blurry. Using indoors it is very difficult to aim camera at floor to view dog using included magnetic mount. Blink at half the price has better picture quality.
