Customer Ratings & Reviews

This camera system offers high quality, but at a price. You need to know what you are getting into when buying this product - specifically what is included without subscription. In my opinion this system is useless without a subscription. Pros: Design/ Build - I have had Arlo cameras all the way back to the very first version and they have always had high quality hardware. This version is no exception. Everything about this camera from the light to the mount is great. I especially like the design to remove the battery for charging (as well as the spare battery included). Video quality/ Features - The video quality on this camera is top notch and the morion detection/ geo fencing is great. The ability to set up routines is awesome as well. Anyone from the basic user to the serious tinkerer can get the most out of it. Cons: Subscription - The features in the Arlo secure plan are really good, to be fair, and they may be worth it to some. HOWEVER locking all video history behind a subscription paywall is simply a no-go for me. I understand that cloud storage is expensive for a company, but not even offering ANY video history (not even a single day) makes this camera system essentially useless without the subscription. Connection/ latency - I don't know if it's a factor of the high quality video, but there is a lot of latency in the live video. Even when placed right next to my router there is stutter. Paired with the fact that, without a subscription, the live video is the only useable feature means I can not recommend this product.

The Arlo - Pro 3-Camera Wireless 2K Security Camera (6th Gen) is a great package for quality, easy to install-and-use home security. I got the 3-camera package that includes a battery-charging station, extra battery, and a high-quality sign for extra determent. I’ve used Arlo products before and found them to be good and reliable solutions for my needs. Now that I’m settling into our new home, it was time to upgrade our security and I ended up using Arlo once again. First of all, I’m impressed by how far the technology has advanced since last using one of these systems: Easier to install | more and better features included with the app | better quality video | color night-time video | and, especially, the greatly enhanced AI recognition and detection abilities. Adding a battery-charging station (and a yard-sign) makes the whole package feel well-thought-out. It gives me a greater sense of confidence knowing they’ve tried to look at this from the standpoint of what would be genuinely helpful. I like the battery-powered cameras, but some may prefer wired solutions. I believe Arlo has that option available. Beyond that, I have no other caveats other than to point out that you will need to continue with a paid subscription in order to get the full usefulness of the system. That, however, is standard with all of the systems I’ve looked into. A great package for do-it-yourself home security.

First thing to know is these cameras have no local storage. You must have a subscription to Arlo for cloud storage of recorded clips. My favorite part about setting up these cameras was their ability to share the wifi information with each other. I didn’t have to enter it in for each individual camera which got me up and running with the system super quickly. The batteries took a long time to charge for the initial setup process and there are some caution notes about how much juice you can use to charge the batteries. They can also charge by plugging a usb cable into the whole camera so you don’t have to dismantle the camera to get the battery out. The battieries do come out of the housing with a push of a button on the external housing. The pack comes with three batteries, one for each camera, and a fourth standalone battery. So hopefully they don’t all run out of battery at the same time. Probably a good idea to swap them out intermittently so you don’t get stuck waiting for one to charge. Or buy additional batteries. Using the app is easy and you can access all the camera feeds from a single screen. There are different modes you can set like home/away to customize the behavior of the notifications and alerts. There is a calendar you can view to go back to specific days to check recorded cloud clips.

I've been using this Arlo Pro 2K 3 Camera setup for over a week now, as part of my home monitoring solution. I'm also using it alongside some other Arlo gear I own, including their Pan & Tilt camera, and a wired 2K camera (the latter installed indoors). These Arlo outdoor battery powered cameras are as easy to install as any other Arlo product, with the obvious that you should make sure the batteries are fully charged before you install them (I charged the batteries over night, which required a full day before I could use (the included charging dock holds 2 not 3 batteries). Batteries are easy to install and remove, there's a quick release button on the camera and the batteries are proper packs and just slot in, and (pro tip) you pair the cameras before you put them back inside the housing. I got all my 3 cameras setup quickly, I did this inside before finding the right outside position. Outdoor cameras are always are balance of how far does your WiFi signal extend. These are dual band cameras (Yay! - which is an absolute blessing for 2K video streaming) After about a week of use, the cameras are doing very well, it's getting much colder here on the North East and battery life is still holding up nicely at 80%... it probably would be better, but it's new and a novelty, so I'm checking in on the cameras a few times a day and showing people at work how cool they are (haha). Video quality is excellent and you also get integration with Google Home and Alexa (no Homekit). There's a few things I do wish were included and I had with some older Arlo gear, one is an indoor basestation or chime... when I'm home I don't always have my phone glued to my side, so being able to get an audible alert would be great (or in older models, the base station also served as an alarm). Arlo's premium subscription can also get expensive, I tend to turn the subscription on/off... I work from home, so only setup the paid plan when we're on vacation so it's less of a headache for me. Arlo include a sign in the box, it's not backlit, I decided not to use it but if you want a visual deterrent, it's there. All round though, these cameras are well made, setup is a breeze, video quality is awesome, and if you want to use a well supported device that's not owned by Amazon or Google, Arlo is truly your best choice.

Easy to install, excellent audio and video from cameras. Replaced Blink ststem with this one, couldn't be happier.

After about a month i am happy with the quality of the cameras.

Aloe cameras are great Ihave been using them for the last 10 years able to speak and hear clearly

This is a great system for the price. Not the best but definitely worth the money
