Arlo cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I personally like the cameras, they are easy to install. I didn’t give it a 5 stars, because it shows good in black and white at night but it’s kind of fuzzy when it records in color at night.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a pretty decent camera. Battery life could ve better i only get about two weeks before needing to charge it. Also you will need to buy a plan to get the most out of it.

be prepared to be angry often
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have tried nest, ring, and hard wired security cameras. These are by far the worst of the bunch. Among the many probelms like, battery life, time to connect, long response and warning time, paid service, terrible mounting, The worst problem is how every time you have to change the batteries and sometimes between you have to reconnect and most of the time remove the camera from your app and then reinstall it fully. I put these cameras out of reach of people, so they cannot walk off with them. If you do the same then they probably are super easy to remove, bring near router, scan QR code 30 times because it never connects quickly, then troubleshoot 29 times to try and get them to be recognized. Then go put them back in whatever out of reach spot you put them in. Ultimately you have so many better options that are a lot more inexpensive with better features, subscription service, and less hassle. In this case more expensive is definitely not better.

Great cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We currently have a security system that we will leave unnamed. It's terrible. So I went on the hunt for a few cameras that we could place in the areas that the systems cameras don't catch. That's where Arlo came into the picture. While very expensive (in my opinion), the quality is amazing. These blow our systems cameras out of the water. I do like that they each have their own light & if we wanted, we can talk through them. The only real issue I had was getting them connected to our Wifi; I'm a techy person & had great difficulty. It was frustrating. But once we finally got them connected & put up, LOVE! Can't wait to replace all of our cameras with these.

Excellent video quality. Poor app management
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does what it’s supposed to do. Excellent video quality. App is easy to use but not as user friendly. Set notifications to detect people only but would still get notified for movements such as trees blowing in wind. Batteries would last for 2 weeks due to the constant motion detection.

Arlo Pro 4 camera
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I am happy with the product. I had to bring back 1 of the cameras because neither I or the install tech could get the camera to recognize the network. I had no problems swapping it out with BestBuy and the replacement worked great, no problems. I would recommend the solar panels however because cameras are typically located higher up and you don't want to climb ladders to charge the camera. Solar panels work great and will keep your cameras 100% charged. I have a magnolia tree in my front yard and the solar panel can keep the camera charged. The only other suggestion with the camera, if it can tag the motion as vehicle, animal or person it would be nice to only record say people rather than all 3.

Great Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wish setup was a little easier, took longer to connect to WiFi than it did to mount them. Overall great cameras but also wish I’d known they come with a monthly subscription after trial.

Will not buy another arlo!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not purchase these cameras. I previously had the arlo pro 1 and the batteries would not charge so I looked into these. I was told by an employee these were the best deal but I’ve had them for almost 2 months and they are already glitching. The videos don’t want to load, even when connected to Wi-Fi. The battery does not last long, even with minimal activity. Sometimes it doesn’t even pick up activity. (When a car pulls in the drive way) These cameras are not secure, it’s been over the 30 day return period so $400 down the drain. The mounting is also an issue and seems to be a terrible design. They will mount but will only point to the ground so no coverage. To mount the one in the pictures we had to put up an extra board just so it could get the wide area coverage. The magnetic design was 10x easier to use. Do NOT recommend this purchase.

Great system
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The connection is very easy and the install. The video quality is very good also. I bought a three camera kit and they all had the security key feature but this single camera didn’t. I wish they made all cameras with the security key. Other than that its a good purchase

Good but not perfect
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Pro 4 is a relatively good security camera system. The quality seems to be good but there are a few things I don't like: To get the full 2K you must subscribe to their paid service. Also, to be able to detect only persons (and not animals or general movement, such as plants blowing in the wind) you must subscribe to the paid service.

Cameras are pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras are very clear. Batteries last about 3 weeks and they’re not in a real high traffic area. Far cry from the 6 months advertised. Disappointed that you only get a short clip, 25 sec, recorded. All in all they’re good enough. I think I need a home base and maybe it will do more. Too bad they’re all out of stock and didn’t come with this bundle.

Great clarity!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love how easy it is to set up this camera system. No wires, no fuss. The app works really well and the playback is super detailed oriented. I also love how each camera has a spot light for night, and you can have it automatically turn on when there is motion detected. Or you can turn on the light just to see what’s going on in the live feed.

Mr. Tran
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m very skeptical about this Arlo-wire free Pro 4, Just tried to give it a shot to see how it worked. Got this 3-camera, charger and 4 batteries in a box on sale for $499.99 at local BestBuy Manchester, NH 03103 last week and not sure if it could be well worth for the money to spent. The setup is quick and easy, no brainer and working right out of the box like a champ. Just follow instruction carefully, I really love it and strongly recommended. You got what you paid for and it can be returned in 14 days for whatever reasons without restocking fee. Joey (Manager) is very helpful and he can answer any questions about this store. You’ll be very happy after all.

Very happy with my upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgrading from the Arlo Pro 2 set. Amazing amount of clarity, field of view and upgrades in this version. Had to upgrade my Arlo account to keep the videos saved for 30 days instead of the seven days. I immediately added solar panels to the cameras and still have not had to charge the batteries once. Will see how the winter months work with battery life. BBuy had the best prices of all the stores.
