Easy setup, good battery life and so far the quality has been excellent.

This is the dumbest set up I've ever seen for security cameras.The housing should be dual compatible.The anti theft mounting does not give you the best for what angle you want .It's will only swivel so mush.Let me be also clear.The Pro 5 s is not adaptive to another type of mount they have for this kit.The other mounts that they supposedly advertise for this is a threaded type mount that threads into the housing of the camera.These cameras do NOT have the ability to do that.Nor can you purchase another housing separately because it does not fit the camera size with the battery harness .So if you do purchase something from Arlo make sure it's not the Anti theft mount type because your angle will be very limited.Look for the other kits they have with the arm adjustment or even the solar kit Might be a little more expensive but way better than this one

The price was great for what you get. Having the 2k resolution is awesome! I DO NOT like the fact that arlo updated the app and now it won’t let you save to local storage. They a forcing you to pay a monthly subscription. One of the main reasons I chose arlo was so I could use local storage. Cameras are fantastic but arlo as a company…..dropped the ball. I will not be buying anymore arlo products unless this fixed!

I waited until the Pro 5S went on sale. Great cameras! Excellent color with zoom capability. I wish they would have come in a 4-pack. I recommend you buy a solar panel for each camera...the battery will stay charged almost always...minus a few super cloudy days. I have yet to bring in a battery and charge it on the charger. Easy to connect to your WiFi. I connected each one separately to WiFi then went outside my house and attached them. The app works pretty well.

I would not recommend purchasing this product. While the camera quality itself is good and the night mode is excellent, the overall experience is very disappointing.
The main issue is that the cameras take too long to go live, often requiring manual intervention. They also frequently fail when handling multiple interactions, especially if the battery is running low. Although the design is sleek and discreet, and the battery life is reasonably good, the functionality does not meet expectations.
Do yourself a favor and buy a Ring Camera
The mobile app is another weak point, falling short of what users would expect from a device in this category.
In short, despite a few positive aspects, the frustrations far outweigh the benefits. For the amount of disappointment it causes, it is hard to justify recommending this product.

These cameras helps provide peace of mind when we are away. I upgraded from Arlo Pro 2 series cameras, and I ma glad the two systems work together. Video quality is a little less clear than I would have expected, but overall they are good for the price. Setup was easy. One camera would not pair using the QR code, so I had to do a factory reset. I paired them with the Arlo smart hub.

Fairly easy to set up. Firmware updates automatically happened and you may think you have connection problems when this occurs (offline) but if you wait it out they’ll reconnect. Batteries last quite some time! One has 18% left just short of three weeks (activated quite often with cats we have in the backyard); another 59% the same length of time. Easy to control notifications. Very pleased. Picture quality is good.

I wanted to upgrade my cameras and happened to see these on sale. I'm not disappointed with the item. However, I didn't realize that they don't move like my old ones. But they do cover a very large area. It has good image quality too.

One of the best camera systems I've used! Arlo's app makes the experience even better & the ease of using the product is good from connecting them to WiFi to mounting them in place! Would highly recommend this camera system

nice crisp however, the rechargeable batteries tend to power down when there is constant activity and you have to replace it and most of the cameras are in areas that need to be reached by a ladder. a little pricey as well.

Cameras are great, very easy to add using the Arlo app. My only issue is that for this model they went with an integrated proprietary mount, which means that if you are replacing old cameras like I was, you have to take them down and then mount these. I was hoping to re-use the old mounts. As long as you are aware of this, the rest is all good.

These camera's along with the dual charging station and the 2 batteries were a great bargain. I hope Best Buy brings in the camera's with magnetic attachment to wall in the future. The camera's were easy to set up and paired in a flash. You can not get a better focus on what you want filmed.
