Do not buy these. 1) The Arlo Pro 5S does not come with 30 days of free recording like the Arlo Pro 2 does. 2) The video recording at night on many of their cameras has red rays in the video and picture images. I bought this 3 pack, and 1 camera had that problem. It took a month to convince Arlo the camera was defective. They sent me a new replacement, and the replacement also had red rays in it. That took about month to get another replacement. Th 2nd replacement has red rays in it, but not as bad. I'll have to decide if I want to spend another month proving to them it is defective as well. Their support is horrible. Image quality is good if you get a good camera. At this point, only 2 have been good, and 3 defective, so the percentages are not good.

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!

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.

Easy to get started, connect your phone and get within seconds views from the camera from the couch to whatever distance you are from home. Love the color as it goes well with color of our house.
I would recommend this to a friend

Battery Life negates other really good features. Video quality is good. WiFi range good. Size and portability all good. Trouble is I have to replace battery every week, actually doesn’t make it through a week. Arlos response that “if you don’t have frequent notifications it lasts a long time” is silly. basically saying if you don’t use your camera, the battery is great

The newer camera pixel is a thousand times better than earlier versions

This was an excellent option for an existing Arlo system. The location that it needed to be placed was outside of the range of the Arlington base station. Installed on a power pole with a solar charger, it was well within reach of the wireless mesh network.

GARBAGE!!! My previous system was a Sannce (wired) system. Had it for 8 years before NVR finally died. I'm alot older now and have health issues. Since I needed a new Home Security System, I needed something wireless, I just can't get up in my attic to run CAT cables all over the place and down the walls to my home office room so I checked into wireless systems. After alot of research and also trying a couple of different brands, I ended up trying Arlo Pro 5s 2k. I bought this system 3 days ago, since then nothing but a ton of problems.
1. Easy to setup= NO (sure, easy to put the battery into the camera, but the app instructions should tell you more detailed information, there's just too much gray area in regards to the instructions. Meaning I've never used a wireless system so I no Zero when it comes to what is what, etc...really need to make a setup app for dummies is what I need.
2. In the past hour alone I have experienced numerous issues, i.e., one camera spot light flickers like a beacon for a couple minutes and then stops (did this twice), random cameras randomly saying (offline, signed in by another device, unexpected error. When I google arlo information in regards to these problems, I've checked and doubled checked everything. Interesting thing though, I had these cameras for a couple of days until I received my VMB Smarthub 4540. Installed it today, paired the cameras, that's when it seems that these problems have really been frequent.
3. Battery life sucks! I'm sure they are ok if your video settings are on the lowest setting but even the default setting was way too grainy for me to see so I selected Best quality, by doing so, a battery last 24 to 30 hours (basically one day) depending on traffic. I have 6 cameras, each having different levels of traffice which affects battery life, I can't tell you how many times I've been in and out of my house to change this battery, few hours later, change a different camera battery, another few hours, change another battery. Also, one of my cameras battery was almost dead so I went and got a fresh battery (with a green light) off the charging station, put it in the camera, came back and it said error, I looked up the how to fix this problem and it said, put in a new battery...um...I just put in a new battery, swapped it out with another green light charged battery and it worked. Needless to say, with winter coming I'm not about to be in and out of 10 degree weather every few hours to change a freaking battery. As I mentioned, I don't have good health thanks to 2 combat tours in the Army and my age (did I mention I have a Rare lung disease, hence the reason I can't go in and out in cold weather. So I'm pretty sure these cameras are going back. I'll go back to Sannce and hire someone to install the cables.
I could go on and on about all the problems in just 3 days time. During the 3 days I've contacted online support and chatted with someone who was ZERO help. I received a phone call the next day and that person was at least helpful (this was just to fix very minor technical/connecting issues after that, the last 2 days have been a nightmare.
Just to add, the online support told me I didn't have fast enough upload speed needed for each cameras bandwidth...according to AI and Arlo, the Pro 5s 2k needs 2mbps for each camera of upload speed. As these problems are actually happening I did a speed test... 6 cameras means I need 12 mbps total...I have 32mpbs.

This camera has exceeded my expectations. The compatibility with smart home technology is stellar, and the wire-free setup is so hassle-free. The 2-way audio feature is pretty neat, and the 12X zoom is just wow! I love how I can live stream what's going on. Also, the motion activation is a fantastic feature. The color night vision is a game-changer for me. Such a solid piece of tech!

Love these cameras! We have other Arlo cameras as well, and they sync so easily together in the app. I love that it’s wireless, so we don’t have big wires hanging down to an outlet. It’s easy to screw on and off of its bracket if you need to take it down. Video quality is great and the app is easy to use!

I have bought this brand before and is very pleased with the security camera. Love that it has a large range to see what’s around you, it’s easy to use and comes with a trial for the program to see if you like it, 10/10 recommend.
