Great cameras/ poor battery
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Would Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with the system, easy to use and uninstall the batteries when they are low. Our Geek Squad person recommended solar panels so I wouldn't have to worry about them and we got those installed so now I don't have to worry about charging the batteries

Really like the store
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Base station seems to only be a dedicated router only for the Arlo cameras. No on-site memory- I would have paid extra for that but any storage of video is in subscription paid cloud only. So without the subscription you just get notifications that someone entered a zone but no storage to see what happened. Just know that before you purchase.

Disappointed customer
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Nice and clear. it hooks up to Alexa also which is nice so I can view it on TV monitors. Their service people are pretty good able to walk you through any trouble shade shooting that needs to happen.

Cameras without a base unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I though this package had the base with it. Someone in the store told us the difference in the package compared with another one that did have a base was the quality of the camera. We should have seen that it didn't have a base but didn't until we got home. Best Buy was nice about the return but we wasted time.

Arlo is Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the Arlo camera systems! I upgraded from the original Arlo Pro... Excellent quality, durable, and great picture in streaming 4K. Giving the bundle 4 stars only because of the requirement to pay for Arlo Secure service (monthly) in order to *record* video...this is not entirely clear at purchase.

Almost Perfect
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can honestly say it's a pretty darn setup packaged for a camera. If you're just starting your Arlo system, I'd go with the package as it makes setup a lot easier. Plus, frankly, it's a cheaper route to go. When it comes to the cameras though, I knocked them simply because of the distance required for detection. The cameras typically sit in a low power state to reserve battery (smart, honestly), but they only detect out to 25 feet and then the camera starts recording seconds later due to booting up. Works for the most part, but sometimes, if something moves fast, you'll miss what you're trying to record. If they can find a better balance with the detection and battery settings I'm fully on board. Almost there Arlo!

Not worth the money.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Consistently disconnects. The Cameras responses can be slow when trying to view live. (yes, everything is installed correctly. And I have High Speed Optic Fiber WiFi, that provides the security system with more than enough speeed.) If you also want to set it up with HomeKit you will more than likely have problems. May need a token reset, or spend your afternoon trying to get technical support. Also some videos appear to be glitched with a green screen before showing the recording. Which is vital as something can happen within that period of the screen being green. Again, when you want to view live incase of an emergency you would have a significant amount of lag before being allowed to viewed. I also get notifications of being signed in another account, logging me out. Had this for over a year and I’ll suggest getting a hardwired security system or try another brand other than Arlo. Poor app interface, poor customer Service, poor quality products.

Arlo Ultra 2 Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved this bundle when I purchased it because it was such a great deal. The way these cameras are mounted to the wall and ceilings feel so much more secure than the other magnetic options on my previous cameras. The 4K it’s definitely worth the extra money in my opinion.

Local recording with hub not what one would expect
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This package is a waste of money. Batteries do not last and wiring accessories are overpriced. Local recording from hub doesn't work with motion detect events nor accessible from the Arlo app. Once the free subscription is cancelled (I did to test) or ends the cameras become glorified motion detectors without recorded video. The base subscription doesn't playback 4K video. The more expensive subscription is needed to use the 4K. Either pay the premium monthly, return for 2K Pro cameras & the base subscription (and have your recordings vulnerable on the cloud), or return the Arlo cameras as I did. Only reason for 2 stars is because Best Buy's excellent customer service as usual during my purchase and return.
