not easy for family members to use don't buy ARlo.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Arlo used to be OK, then they change the software. Now it is unreliable. Also it only only allows one person to control the system it makes it difficult for other people in your family to log on to view the cameras. For example if my wife wants to check the cameras it sends me a request on my phone, but what if I am at the doctor and can't approve the request? They have a secondary method but it doesn't work well either. Don't buy Arlo or you will regret it.

Get ready to pay for a subscription!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't buy this unless you want to also buy a subscription to view the videos in the cloud! The camera is fine, but once the trial expires for Arlo Smart, you have to buy a subscription to have videos recorded and available in the cloud. That was NOT obvious when I bought this device. I have four older Arlo cameras, each of them will record to the cloud for FREE. BUT NOT THE NEW ONE! Super disappointed.

Subscription required
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy these cameras unless you are aware you have to pay a monthly subscription after the 90 day trial. Arlo claims they have local usb storage, however the feature is essentially useless. You cannot access the videos from the app or remotely. Waste of money. I should have kept my cheaper cloud storage cameras... They also buffer and are about 3 second delayed.

Posted .Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your feedback. We would like to mention that subscribing to Arlo Smart does not only give cloud storage but it also lets the cameras utilize the advanced Arlo Smart features detailed here : https://kb.arlo.com/000056583/.
To setup direct storage access feature, follow the steps here : https://kb.arlo.com/000062337. You may contact Arlo Support Team for assistance at https://www.arlo.com/en-us/support/contact.aspx.

DO NOT BUY ANY ARLO PRODUCTS
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These products are not worth the price and are not reliable. They are often offline and lack recordings. Every time you contact them, the last resort will be RMA (return merchandise authorization) and you have to pay for the shipping fee even if you are still under 1 year warranty.

sucks
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These things suck. We've had them for a while. Someone who knew our garage code was able to get into our house without it ever being recorded. It takes seconds to open the app which is a long time. Going with a wired system next.

Completely unreliable and unsuitable for security.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Completely unreliable system. Cameras with full signal strength and a strong internet connection regularly do not record motion. Would you trust the security of your family if this happened? I would return but Best Buy’s measly 15 day return policy will make that difficult.
