    Cameras work great. This is the second set up that I’ve bought. I don’t like that. They continuously change the charging ports from generation to generation.

    Steep subscription-Phenomenal motion detection

    **OVERALL** The Arlo Pro 6th gen camera system is a compact, wireless outdoor, user-friendly security system offering high-quality video that's quick and easy to set up at an affordable cost. That being said, I'm typically not a fan of these systems, but for the purpose of this review, we'll scrap all that for an unbiased look at these. For those unaware, these systems are cloud first subscription service with limited functionality without a subscription. These units offer no local functionality other than a live view. On the surface, these units have a good build quality and a versatile, sturdy mounting system. One of the key benefits of the Arlo system is the scalability, allowing you to add multiple cameras to monitor multiple properties/locations with minimum effort. It's worth noting that each location requires a plan. However, it isn't clear if adding a camera to the same "Home" location using a different SSID to place at a different location would prompt a forced plan purchase, it could possibly violate TOS. The system offers unlimited cloud storage through a subscription which can cover a single or unlimited devices. A single device plan runs 9.99/mo and for unlimited devices, there's 2, plus and premium for 19.99/mo and 29.99/mo. The difference between them being that one includes more home benefits such as insurance discounts and professional monitoring. The included, rechargeable battery pack, has a great battery life using default values. Something to note, while the premium plan is rather steep when compared to other cloud systems, it's my belief they do this as it's an undisclosed full property security system, there's just more legal red tape to make that claim. That's because the camera's can function as a fire detector listening for the screeching of your homes carbon monoxide sensors. Loud noises such as gunshots or windows breaking, and doors being opened. If any of these trigger an alert, the system can alert you or family members. Manual activation of emergency services is required if you are in need of that. Lastly, I don't appreciate the fact that these units automatically start a trial for you when you register the camera. I would have preferred to have no plan to contrast against what having a plan is like. Not having to wait 30 days for the trial to end to compare or using the chart showing what's included in the trial to make an assumption on the perks I get with a plan. It's just much easier to compare when you can use each option. **Pros:** * Quick and easy setup * Scalable system for monitoring everything * Convenient cloud storage solution through Arlo subscription * long battery life * low-key full property security system **Cons:** * can be expensive when compared to other subscription based cameras * Limited functionality without subscription * Trial starts automatically **FEATURES** To access most of the features of the Arlo Pro 6th gen system, you'll need to purchase a subscription plan. The Plus subscription plan costs $19.99/mo for unlimited devices or $29.99/mo for unlimited devices and a few extra features. At $9.99/mo you get basic and a 1 device plan. With a sub, the cameras offer motion detection, person detection, vehicle detection, package detection, and fire detection. It becomes very granular even allowing for a person's detection such as a family member. It does prompt that you should get consent from the individual and that certain laws could apply based on your region. Without a sub, I assume, you only get motion detection notifications with no extra details or recordings. Motion detection triggers various events with plenty of information to discern details about what might be going on. From messages such as "person walking with phone", "person with package", "person nearing door", and "person opens door". If a person can handle/hold it, I'm sure the descriptor will add it into the alert message. Night vision is superb, it can illuminate my yard with the longest section being roughly 20', which makes very clear that a shadow would be lurking in the dark. Overall, the Arlo security system is easy to use and convenient, making it a great option for those looking for a simple and effective home security solution. Motion detection is superb giving you very detailed actions triggering an alert. Possibly one of the best I've seen so far. However, be aware that without an active sub your camera system would be practically useless. Additionally, this seems to be on the pricier side when compared to similar systems. This is worth 4-stars.

      Hello

      No, Arlo cameras do not require a subscription to access basic features such as live streaming and motion or audio notifications. However, subscribing unlocks additional features, including 60-day Video History, Advanced Object Detection, Activity Zones, 24/7 Emergency Response, and more.

    Planning on Returning These Cameras

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Honestly getting ready to return these. To even get functionality out of these you have to pay for a subscription, if you don't NONE of the clips will save rendering these essentially useless. There are camera's out there that cost a little more but don't require a subscription to have all of the features so i will be going that route. Also it does not work as well as described, it claims to have a good range but it doesn't capture anything further than 10 feet from the camera. Just a waste of money overall.

    Great cameras but the app keeps crashing and it’s past the return time. $170 down the drain. Arlo can’t help. Been chatting with them all day. They told me to log in on my computer. That helps. I leave and want to see who is at my door when I’m gone but I can’t because I’m not o. My computer in my home. Stupid and useless. Thanks Ai.

    After adding the Arlo Pro 2k camera 2K security camera to my existing Arlo Pro Bundle setup, I noticed a real improvement in coverage around my home. The Pro 2k camera camera fit right in with the system, and setup was just as simple and quick as my original bundle. The 2K resolution is impressive. Images are crisp and clear, both during the day and at night. I was especially happy with how well the camera’s night vision and security light illuminated my backyard, making it easy to see details even in complete darkness. My wife also pointed out that the Pro 2k camera’s video quality is noticeably sharper than our earlier cameras. I’m really pleased with the performance of Pro 2k camera as an add-on. The Arlo app manages all the cameras seamlessly, and I keep getting fast notifications anytime there’s motion. Adding the Pro 2k camera to my system was hassle-free, and charging the battery through the two-battery station is super convenient. Swapping batteries is simple and doesn’t interrupt the camera feed, which works perfectly for our setup with limited outlets. It’s a nice touch that Arlo includes a security sticker and yard sign with the bundle. I think having those visible helps deter unwanted visitors. When I first connected the Pro 2k camera, the battery wasn’t fully charged, but once topped off, it’s been operating smoothly with the rest of the cameras. Just a heads-up: after the free month trial, you’ll need a subscription to keep saving your video clips. Overall, I’m really satisfied with how the Arlo Pro 2k camera 2K camera looks and performs as part of my Arlo system. Even with the monthly storage fee, the features and image quality are worth it to me. The motion alerts are accurate and helpful, distinguishing between people, cars, and pets, so I’m only notified when something important actually happens.

    Nice upgrade from single camera setup

    The Arlo Pro system has been an impressive upgrade to my old home security set up. It has replaced a system of cameras from multiple companies. The cameras work together and are nuch more funcrional than stand alone cameras. The installation was super easy, just mount the cameras, connect them to the app and it is ready to go. The video quality is excellent, with crisp detail during the day and surprisingly clear night time recording. I can easily zoom in on footage without everything turning into a pixelated mess and losing detail. The wireless design is a huge plus. Being able to put the cameras exactly where I need them without worrying about outlets or cables is a game changer. Moving the cameras depending on different situations is a game chnager. I love that you arent locked into one set up. The battery life has been excellent so far, and the dual charging capability gives me a lot of confidence that i won't be left unprotected. Having an wxtra battery ready makes the whole system feel effortless to maintain. The motion alerts are quick and accurate, and the customizable zones help filter out unnecessary interruptions. Overall, the Arlo is a dependable, high-quality security system that’s well worth the money. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home security.

    Security That Doesn't Demand Attention

    The Arlo Pro 3-Cam system is exactly what I was looking for, and in a much simpler package than I anticipated. The installation was surprisingly seamless, both the physical mounting of the cameras and the connection process with the app. I often find these bespoke smart home apps to be painful to navigate, but Arlo has clearly prioritized the initial user experience. The app itself is intuitive, which is another welcome surprise from a hardware-first company. I found the various options for sensitivity and notification levels genuinely helpful for tuning the system to my environment and avoiding constant false alerts. In performance, the camera is top-notch. The 2K HDR video delivers crisp, clear images, and the night vision is very good. Beyond security, I've found it unexpectedly handy for confirming package deliveries. Crucially, the Arlo system is less disruptive to personal privacy than some competitors, as it doesn't create the expectation of communicating with every visitor. It simply observes and allows me to decide how on point I want to be with my reactions. Combined with its very long battery life, the cameras are set-and-forget tools that offer peace of mind without becoming an intrusive fixture. The Arlo Pro 3 is what you hope a modern security camera system will be: powerful where it counts and significantly easier to get going than expected.

    Arlo - Pro 3-Cam Wireless 2K HDR Security with dual charging station is a great setup. Overall, I’m very happy with how quick the batteries charge, how easy it was to setup. The process in and of itself was rather simple. The video quality is great. We installed a camera in our dining area only to catch one of kittens attempting to murder one of the plants. We set up another camera in a rather busy outdoor area. This is where the learning took place. Number one Set up the activity area on your devices. You know the area that you actually care about being monitored. The other part of that is, do not mount your camera(s) in an area that is hard to get to, unless of course, you purchase the Arlo solar panels so the devices can charge. Otherwise, you’ll be breaking out a ladder and trying to break your neck about once a week to change the batteries. With that being said, there are other options, you can have your cameras where they are not so sensitive to motion, or where they only monitor at specific times. However, when your cameras are set to monitor 24/7/365, the battery seems to last about a week, which is not bad at all could be better, but I have seen way worse. One of the great things about the app, though, is that it gives you ample amount of notice for your cameras when the battery is running low. Other than that these cameras are great, easy to setup, easy to use.

    The Arlo Pro 3 Cam Wireless 2K HDR camera system is just what I have been looking for when it comes to home security. I did not like the idea of having to run wires to a DVR or even having to hard wire power to cameras, so I have constantly put off getting a camera system installed. Well the Arlo system came at just the right time, and I was able to set it up in no time at all! My biggest concern was battery life but I am happy to say that these cameras have batteries that are built to last. Once I had the cameras mounted in the positions I wanted them, the setup was absolutely simple. The Arlo app is very easy to use and walks you through everything, there is a lot to be said about a tech product that can be configured so easily but still provide such excellent functionality! Once the cameras were connected to my Wi-FI I was up and running. The video quality is stunning, and I was very surprised that Arlo was able to provide such high quality video and maintain a decent battery life, very impressive! My favorite feature so far is the notification alerts, I never have to worry because I am alerted right away if someone is at my house. If you are looking for an amazing value, peace of mind, and simple setup then this Arlo Pro 3 Camera Security system will definitely check all the boxes for you.

    I was told I would get a month alto plan but couldn’t get anyone to help me get it. Also the cameras did not pick up motion at all.
