These cameras have always been my favorite. They are easy to install, easy to use, and they take video in 4K. they also track and zoom if that is your preference. I definitely recommend these cameras if you want to protect your property And your family. But ultimately by a gun and train with it¡¡¡

The system works well. If you have a camera set up that gets a lot of foot traffic, it will be triggered over and over and the battery will drain SIGNIFICANTLY. Also be aware that you will need to pay for a subscription after the free trial if you want many of the features that you get very used to.

I was really looking forward to getting theses cameras hooked up and working. They are hooked up and working, somewhat. They have a good clear picture but they arlo app doesnt let you do certain things. The cameras record, sometimes and sometimes they dont. So if i need to go vack and look at something, i cant!! Whats the point?? Syre, you can look at whats going on at the moment, but i need to be able to go back and see things that happened minutes or hours ago. I would not spend this much money on Arlo again

Had to upgrade my Arlo cameras as my old ones were End Of Life by Arlo. The video quality of these is very good!!!
Only negative is that the WiFi is not as good as my old Arlo Pros. Constantly losing WiFi signals even though they are in the same place my old ones were.

I love the clarity of the picture. My old camera system was only 1080, this is way better. I am trying to figure out how to get the batteries to drain so fast, just have to adjust the settings

I have to say that I was little bit skeptical at first but I have to admit that I 100% satisfied with my decision to pick this brand. At first we were torn between the RING system and the Arlo system but in the end I read many reviews and did my homework before I made the decision to pick the Arlo system. Great quality, ease of use with the app and great quality video.

Not worth the money. While the picture quality is great, it is almost impossible to position the required base in an area to ensure a good signal for the cameras. Arlo's suggestion is to buy another $150 base and wifi extender.
The lag time from getting an alert to being able to see the live stream is way too long (even with 1gb internet). If there was a real security issue the event could be over before you can get a chance to review the feed.

I upgraded my 3-year-old Arlo cameras to a newer set. Everything works great!

Cameras work great everything seems to be going good only thing is I found it a little hassle that the cameras dont completely like detach to the mount. They kind of do but not all the way so if your trying to not use the security mount and just use a magnetic one for convenience, you cant. Unless I just can figure that out yet. Other than that picture to the point and clear

Note: if you don't care about manually recording in 4K, this is a decent setup.
You cannot record manually in 4K, and it took me multiple support calls for someone to eventually tell me this. They had me check my network, enable/disable settings, restart devices, etc. and all along they knew the answer - YOU CANNOT RECORD IN 4K MANUALLY. It really annoyed me that the support staff couldn't/wouldn't answer this question without the song and dance. Truth be told, this limitation should be MUCH clearer in the manual (which this kit doesn't come with).
You can record motion capture video in 4K. You can keep recordings locally. You just cannot do this manually.
This will be going back to Best Buy as soon as possible.
Thank you for your feedback. The Arlo development team is aware of this problem and are currently working on solving it.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.

I was a bit skeptical due to previously owning the Ring products, which were just ok. But the Arlo is outstanding, by comparison. The cameras are ultra-clear, and are just as clear on the outskirts of its 180 degree range. I have a lot of control over the sensitivity of each camera, and the rechargeable batteries are convenient. Very happy!

So fair the best cameras I’ve ever put my hands on easily installed within 30 mins, the response on the cameras are amazing easy to work with the app, I bought the ( 4k ultra 2 ) and it is actually 4k !

I had the arlo cameras for years and loved them. I decided to upgrade and get the arlo ultra 2. That was the biggest mistake. My other cameras you did not have to have a subscription, but these if you don’t have a subscription then you have to use a SD card. Half the time it will show a motion but you can’t pull it up on the app. I don’t understand why these companies change a great product and go up tremendously on the price for a terrible product. Sorry I will never purchase another arlo. They could actually be a good camera. They also have a significant delay.

They work great, easy set up, and love that the batteries are removable for charging. They do get some weird artifacts sometimes and response time to go live is slow especially if they are triggered.

I read a lot of great things about this system. We purchased it and did not like that the cameras lasted only 48 hour before we had to charge the camera again. It was frustrating. We are a prior Arlo owner and we are disappointed because we loved the first generation cameras.
Quality of the cameras were great though.
