Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great battery outdoor camera. Visual quality is outstanding. And zooming in still quality picture. But downfall is the life of the battery. And you, can not do 24/7 which stinks.

I am happy with the product but, I am still trying to get used to using them.

Easy to install, great picture and sound. No wires to deal with

These are great cameras that are easy to mount and offer good audio and video quality. I have found the battery life to be less than advertised, but they are otherwise excellent from a hardware standpoint. The geofencing is amazingly precise. The app is good but could be improved... the top of the wish list would be more granular control over the notifications. The app does integrate well with other Arlo products (the doorbell, in my case).

Arlo camera is better but it always requires to change the battery while using it.

I had bought in 2023 and 2025. Because I can add them to my subscription.

The videos are very clear. Very easy to set up. Just learning how to set setting for longest battery life.

First time trying a security system outside of getting from a company. Images and videos are crystal clear. I like that you can set which type of notifications and which areas for active zones. Easy install and comes with an extra battery for back up.

I had high hopes for this product based on all the reviews I'd read. And the truth is, the cameras are nice, with a decent set of features - a 4- to 5-star set of features. However... I will never purchase them again, nor any other product made by Arlo. Battery life is abysmal. In fact, it is bad enough that I've come to consider the cameras barely a 1-star product. I have four Arlo Pro 4 cameras deployed. I have a complete set of spare batteries for the cameras. I find myself swapping batteries every 3-7 days to keep these cameras functional. I've turned off the spotlights, turned off sound, made sure both camera and base station firmware was up to date, and generally done just about everything else recommended to "extend" battery life, all without noticeable improvement. Is poor battery life the result of user error? You decide. Prior to retiring, I was a systems engineer for a telecommunications company, so spent a good deal of my career working with technology, including hands-on troubleshooting of every sort of problem you might imagine, inclusive of power-related problems. As for batteries and battery life, I've used lithium battery technology for years, in household gadgets, cell phones - you name it. I've even retrofitted an older RV for use with lithium batteries. I'm that guy whose cell phone battery still works 2-3 years after everyone else has replaced their battery or phone. And yet, Arlo Pro 4 battery life has defeated my every effort at resolution. There is one piece of advice I have not tried, and that is to separate cameras from one another. That is difficult to do in my case. What I can tell you is that these cameras replaced those of another manufacturer (whose battery life actually delivered months at a stretch in the middle of Alaskan winter conditions) - the Arlo cameras are actually futher apart that the cameras they replaced. If Arlo has a solution to achieve something closer to the "up to 6 months" of battery life it advertises, I'd love to hear it. Just sayin' I don't know how Arlo earned the reputation it has, but in my opinion, bad battery life offsets any and every plus their products might otherwise have going for them. If I'd thought to google "Arlo battery life" before purchasing, I'd have realized this was a widespread and widely reported issue, and one without any advertised fix. Bottom line: your mileage may vary, but I wouldn't recommend buying Arlo Pro 4 unless you happen to enjoy hauling the stepladder out every few days to swap batteries.

Product as advertised. Good picture. Easy to install

We have had the older model Arlo… and the new Arlo pro 4 are a great improvement. Better quality. Clearer images. We also purchased the solar panel and looking forward to purchasing more solar panels.

Arlos are a great camera - we upgraded from the original Arlo we bought years ago to these - are also going to buy the solar panels (we have these at our business with panels as well). Highly recommend Arlo!

It’s just Ehh….. The cameras are either way too sensitive or not sensitive enough, the video quality is so-so to poor and unless you subscribe to their monthly service. The feed is laggy and it takes a while to make the initial connection. The only thing you end up with after the trial is real time imaging. There is no more history. There is no more adjusting the motion zones, so anything that gets anywhere near the cameras view sets it off. Think of it as a delayed bait and switch. They are ALMOST worth the $400+ for 3 cameras until the trial subscription runs out. For the monthly cost of the subscription you can pretty much get an entire security system with cameras, electronic doorbell, etc from one of the alarm companies. E we are disappointed enough that we’re going to remove them and buy from a reputable company.

Great choice when it comes to camera easy installation extra batteries charger cant beat the price a google cam id ghe same price ss these and way better application for mry phone 12 bucs a month subscription and solar chargers available as well

Bought these to use inside for use for family member with dementia. Set up was super easy, even for me who is not smart with tech stuff. Love the ability to arm the system for away, while at home and then stand-bye. Still learning all the capabilities.

Cameras work great, but no instructions included on how to setup, had to make several calls to Arlo. Solar charger works good too. Good investment.

Wifi reaches a good distance. There’s a lag when pulling up the app to check a notification.

Good quality cameras that have outstanding performance

really like these cameras work really well. battery last a long timee.

Excellent system it does pick up movement when there aren’t any. Love how there is different option for motion detection. Lag is not as bad as my old camera system. Battery life drains faster I changed my front and back door at least twice in 2 months. That’s because of “movement” that it detected
