    So-so for Arlo

    I have had 9 arlo cameras. My 5 before this add are fine. The first batch has timed out. These are a great picture. Come with external batteries. 4 included for 3 cameras. Great plus. But the build quality is not up to par. The mechanism that pushes the battery compartment open is fragile and broken on one of my cameras. Hopefully they will replace it. The holders wont move alot so view and placement is limited. I dont believe you can change mounts. The were a so so deal for 199$. But they are definitely not worth 400$ on quality. Things are just getting cheaper and cheaper quality. Always be wary on pricing. Marginal yes on recommend!!

    Arlo Pro 5S 2K Camera

    The Arlo Pro 5S 2K camera has been a game-changer in home security. Its 2K resolution delivers stunningly clear video quality, making it easy to identify faces and details even from a distance. The night vision is impressively sharp, providing reliable coverage in low-light conditions. I also appreciated the integration with smart home devices, which allowed seamless control through voice commands. The camera's compact design is sleek and unobtrusive, fitting effortlessly into various spaces around my home. Setup was quick and straightforward, and the connectivity has been consistently strong with minimal interruptions. One drawback is the subscription required for full access to features like cloud storage and advanced detection. While this adds to the cost, the camera's overall performance makes it a worthwhile investment for those serious about security. Overall, I’m highly satisfied with the Arlo Pro 5S 2K camera. Its quality, reliability, and smart functionality make it a standout choice for home surveillance.

    So Easy to Setup!

    From box to completion of setup, it took less than 10 minutes to have our camera connected and ready in the Arlo app. The camera itself is wire-free (easily removable to charge when needed), connected to our WiFi easily, and is all-weather protected. We live in West Texas and the weather can be unpredictable, so this feature was important to the safety of our family. The Arlo Home Security System provides different options (you receive a trial) for you to enjoy the benefits of this camera even more — emergency service response, video object detection with AI, etc. As an Arlo user, I love the clarity and peace of mind received by using the system to its entirety. I feel that Arlo has stepped up our security game and provides clear live and recorded footage. I highly recommend Arlo to anyone looking to up their safety game!

    Simple setup and install process, with simple, easy to use app. The video quality is clear and battery life is good when settings are configured. The additional features and cloud storage is great for the price. You can quickly and easily view and manage stored video, all through the app.

    A great camera! We love that it's wireless, easy to use, and the picture is clear as Crystal! My only issues with it is the battery dies quicker than I'd expect and my Wi-Fi takes forever to load the camera! Over all it's really nice to use!

    Unmatched Home Security – Worth Every Penny!

    After extensive research, I chose the Arlo 5S 2K system, and it has exceeded all expectations. I installed six cameras and the doorbell, and from setup to performance, every part of the experience has been outstanding. The 2K video quality is crystal clear, even in low-light conditions, giving me total peace of mind whether I’m home or away. The wide-angle coverage and motion detection zones are extremely accurate—no more false alerts or missed activity. What really impressed me is how responsive the app is. I get real-time alerts with sharp visuals and fast loading times, making it feel like I’m always home, even when I’m not. The doorbell camera is a game-changer, delivering sharp two-way audio and instant notifications. Package detection has already come in handy multiple times! In a world where security matters more than ever, the Arlo 5S system delivers. It’s an investment in peace of mind, and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend to anyone serious about protecting their home and loved ones.

    The instruction manual is very easy to understand. As for the camera’s battery’s lasted for almost a week! The batteries are very easy to exchange. While the battery station that comes with it makes things a whole lot easier! On the other hand the Arlo security app provides clear instructions on how to connect the camera for view ability, while the app being very easy to navigate and has a great security system. For my first time buying a camera, this seems to be a very solid option for its price!

    These cameras are very good quality. I love the Arlo brand I will be buying the rest of my home security products from them! I love how you can change batteries out in a flash, and if you get solar panels you never have to change the battery.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I had Arlo for many years and one camera (Ulra) went bad! I had done research and liked the new Swann! Well, I tried them for 3-4 weeks and no comparison! Returned the Swann and went back to Arlo! The only reason for a “4” rating is its 2K and not 4K. Still a great picture with 2K!

    We love our Arlo camera. There is a slight learning curve as yiu figure out bow to set it up and adjustbthe app settings so that the notifications are accurate. Now it works perfectly! I love being able to see when packages are delivered. I was surprises by how how the microphone and speaker works. When my husband and I are bored we like to make weird animal noises as people walk by hehehe. Who knew a security camera could provide safety and entertainment. Thanks Arlo. I lovr that we didnt have to set up a doorbell as our security cam.

    The camera is nice and well built, but the supplied charge cable is indoor rated, too short and it doesn't come with a AC adapter to enable using a standard electric outlet. You have to spend 49 dollars for a 25ft cord and ac adapter if you want to charge the unit at it's outdoor location.

    I’ve have the Arlo Pro S5 for almost a year now and they work well under the right subscription. Batteries run a little low if you have the sensitivity too high to capture motion, but I just bought more batteries. With that being said I’m changing the batteries couple times a week. They do miss some motion if you’re “particular” about your security then I would have hardwire. I’d say I’m a stickler about my security and the Arlo Pro S5 work well for me. Easy to install.

    Really great camera system so far! The batteries mention up to 6 months but it has already went down 15% in one week so I doubt that is accurate. Really good and clear picture. I love the extra features like the two way audio, alarm, light, and 2K video recording. The monthly subscription seems high compared to competitors but it’s fine for me.
