The Good the not so good
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice daylight pictures. Night pictures aren’t the greatest. battery life has severely decreased over the last 6 months I’ve had them. Then there’s the pay for the plan. with all due respect if you want to store your image’s/ videos the you may want to consider Wired security systems. Which I’m still thinking about switching to.

No free cloud recording unlike other models
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of the camera is excellent. But it seems it does not have cloud recording facility unlike Arlo Pro2 etc. This is huge drawback. One does not expect to be sitting 24x7 to see live streaming of the camera in a normal household. Buying a subscription is not quite economical also. I wish they had the free motion-operated cloud recordings with this model.

Don’t waste your time
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these cameras on Black Friday 2021 I was so excited they quality of the video is awesome and the set up is easy peezy but I couldn’t get them to connect to my WiFi.. I tried and tried and when I tried to contact support you never speak to a live person it support via text with a real person I have the flood light and door bell as well that’s how I know the quality of the video is awesom but I paid 1000$ for a whole set up including the solar panels and for the price I paid I feel like I shouldn’t have been struggling to get the arlo pro 4 camera to connect I do not recommend these cameras due to their connection set up and I returned them although I did keep the flood light and doorbell

Great Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We replaced our old Arlo Pro cameras with the Arlo Pro 4 cameras. These cameras don't need a hub, they connect to Wi-Fi directly. I didn't have any problems connecting the cameras, they work great. The motion sensitivity is way more sensitive, it took a while to get that set, I have my main camera set to 50%. Having an extra battery is great, I just replace the battery in the camera with a freshly charged battery, it takes less than a minute to replace.

Decent camera system
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera set at a great price ($300). Picture is not as good as my old eufy cameras, but night vision is better. Hate the fact you need a subscription, but want going to spend what others wanted for other 2k or 4k models. Only real complaint is its smart settings, as they are lacking in the ability to customize Alerts and such.

Arlo cameras and the Geek squad
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Geek squad pair of guys were awesome. It was well worth the expense to have their help. The cameras can see things from very far away( a lot farther than I thought they would) They seem to be a great quality. I have only had them up a few days but everything looks positive

Great But Limited Cameras.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great cameras with a big drawback, if you do not have a monthly plan with arlo they lose a ton of settings and options including a major one, saving videos locally which to do so without a plan you would need to buy a separate tool.

Poor product, extreme delay in alerts.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great idea with poor implementation. There is an extreme delay between event and alert received on phone. More than 8 seconds in average. This on a WiFi network with confirmed data transfer rates that support 4K video. The app is also very slow to detect people coming into my walkway. They can climb eight steps undetected, despite a person being clearly visible in the video feed. But no alert is triggered. I am stuck with this purchase, but I definitely do not recommend it as a good product for "home safety". Will it let you know someone walked in front of your home when you are away? Yes, with an extreme delay between event and video being visible on the phone. Also, the best features are hidden behind a monthly subscription paywall. Meaning, if you don't pay every month you lose the benefits of this product. Buy it if you want to be tied to a contract that provides you slow services for something that should be local. Wish I could reconsider this purchase.

Posted .Hi,
Thanks for your review. While having a fast and WiFi connection is important, having a strong connection is equally important. If your notifications are delayed, try to move your cameras closer to the Base Station/SmartHub/router or move your Base Station/SmartHub away from the router.
Please keep in mind that a slight delay is normal behavior because the video is being analyzed by the Arlo Cloud service.
There are ways to optimize motion detection of your cameras detailed here: https://kb.arlo.com/1015583. Get more details about managing motion detection sensitivity here: https://kb.arlo.com/41.
For further help, navigate to Settings > Support in the Arlo App for service options available to you.
Best regards,
Arlo Team

Security from Arlo cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love having the cameras up for security. Set up as easy and the view and sound that we receive shows it’s a quality product.

Nice system, better if you get it on sale.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall very satisfied. Paired perfectly with my Orbi system. One of the cameras required a reset (just hold the button for 5 seconds) before it would read the setup QR Code. Motion detection can sometimes be a little slow to trigger, so you can miss some of the action, but no worse than some of the other battery powered systems i've seen. The video is clear and focused well. Night vision performs well in very dark areas. The spotlight is sufficient for about a 20 ft range, but only directly in front of the camera. The edges of the view get a little dim. Smart detection (Animal, Package, Person) works well, but you can only enable package detection on one camera in a system. Enable animal detection and then disable their alerts on outdoor cameras, to keep your notifications from blowing up because of the neighborhood cats. Sometimes notifications pop up, but when you go to view the captured video is is not there. But that has only happened a few times.

setup process is incredibly simple
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a fan of the Arlo Pro 4 cameras, but I find the price of adding more to my existing setup to be a bit steep. The video quality is excellent, and the setup process is incredibly simple. On top of that, the customer service is friendly and supportive. However, I am seeking an alternative solution to storing videos without having to pay for the Arlo fee membership. It seems unreasonable to pay for a service to use my own device when I have already purchased the device itself.

Smart notifications won’t turn off
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty happy with this setup, overall. The only Complaint I have is the battery life and turning off the notification feature doesn’t work. My inside camera is set off by my pets when I leave the house, and I’ve disabled “animal” notifications for that camera, but my phone blows up all day because of them. I could turn the camera off all together, but what’s the point in that. Otherwise I would have given these 5 stars.

Outdoor cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To start off my unboxing was pretty much just like all the videos they have about it. The color and quality is unbelievable. They are true wireless if you can get wifi signal you can set up the camera. The down hall is the notifications you get throughout your day. I mean 3500 is a bit much you would think. The biggest and only other disappointing is on the videos it says battery can last up to 6 months without charging which is totally false. The best I have been snore to get is 9 days and that’s turning everything to the lowest swings and changing video to black and white. If you want all color video be prepared to change out the batteries every 3-4 days

Great camera, poor battery life
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great cameras as far as the video quality and features. Don’t believe the battery life claims. Even with an activity zone that excludes everything except a small area at the front of my townhouse, I have to replace the battery every week. The camera on the back of the house that rarely has any activity lasts for about 5-6 weeks. Nothing near the 6 months mentioned in the description.

Posted .Hi Packyderm1, Thank you for providing your feedback, with an active activity zone, the camera will simply alert you for the specified zones versus the motion outside of your selected areas. This means the camera is still actively detecting the unwanted motion therefore the battery may deplete faster if placed in a high traffic area. You might want to try adjusting your sensitivity or camera placement to help with this issue. Regards, Arlo Team
