READ FIRST BEFORE YOU BUY, BE PREPARED!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm torn here Pros -Cameras look and work great -I have the solar panels and they seem to do the job although when it's cold, it says not charging so let's see how we do when it gets significantly colder. -Ease of setup Meh -Although the controls are easy to navigate, I wish it would allow better control of the alerts and notifications. Cons -IT EATS UP DATA!!! I've never exceeded data usage on my internet and now I've spent an additional 100 for the month. I need to play around with it but it seems like the only way to save is to put it on a schedule to arm/disarm. But kinda defeats the purpose of a camera. So in it's current state, the system with everything cost me around 800 since I bought this, one doorbell and solar and with the increase in Data usage, the amount I would have saved on hardwire, would have been significantly better... Just buy a Ring, Arlo, Nest doorbell and forget the cameras. IT WILL KILL YOUR DATA

Sketchy setup - wonderful results
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a bit of a time getting the base station to recognize all the cameras but once it did, everything went very well. I set up the cameras the day before I left on a month-long vacation. I used the zone definitions to keep out the false alarms from street traffic. While I was gone, I gone a notification on my phone every time someone or something entered the yard. It was fantastic. I had a problem with one camera's battery going dead immediately. I replaced it and it's been fine ever since. The cameras are on their fourth week of surveillance and showing two-thirds power left so I may be able to get a few months out of one charge.

Customer Service for Arlo sucks
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The products are fairly good. However, if you do not sign up for their “service plan”, you will not get any aftermarket support. Extremely disappointing as if they really want to support their customers - it should not matter if you use there service plan or not. Without their plan, you cannot even do basic things like setting an activity zone. Should have just went with Ring devices.

ARLO ULTRA 2 SPOTLIGHT SYSTEM
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to upgrade my Arlo Pro cameras. Easy to setup. Like the 4k video recordings. The integrated spotlights are not the noticeable to those being recorded or a distraction to drivers.

Bad Battery life!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased since they were 4k cameras. The clarity is great however the cameras had connection issues and the battery dies quickly. I finally had these connected to solar charges. The main concern was battery life and it proved to be bad! Also the camera night vision is not the best and the small camera light is not bright enough. The true color night vision was not true color.

Major flaw in security feature
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera quality is great. With the subscription, you get lots of features, my favorite being the ability to set activity zones for notifications. HOWEVER.. a HUGE oversight in security is that there is NO NOTIFICATION WHEN THE BASE OR CAMERAS ARE DISABLED OR OFFLINE. My home was broken into. The camera I needed was offline for two days and I was not aware so I have no footage. Unlike other systems, if the base is disabled, it has to be restarted/reconnected before it starts working again. Due to this major flaw, I am moving on to the Ring, which notifies me of when internet connection is lost or reconnected and has the capability to use cellular data as backup. The camera quality and range isn’t as great as the arlo, but at least I will know if a camera isn’t working. What’s the point of a great camera if it’s not on when I need it to be on??
