    Outstanding camera system

    Easy to use and set up, the Arlo is an excellent fully wireless camera system. Setup is a breeze. Simply install the app on your phone or tablet, plug the Arlo base station into your router, and open the app. Then, add your cameras one at a time. That’s pretty much it. Free from wires, mounting the cameras is a breeze. Attach the magnetic mount or screw-on security mount where you want them, and you’re done. Recharging is simpler with the magnetic mount, and while it is possible for someone to use a long stick or similar to knock it down, it would require a pretty good whack, as the magnets are strong. Images are crystal clear, making individual features and license plate numbers simple to make out (assuming, of course, that your camera is reasonably close to the subject). The floodlight option really lights up the area, and combined with full color night vision imaging, gives you clear images 24 hours a day. The image area is wide, allowing you to capture a large field of view with a single camera. Image detection is excellent, and sets off with a reasonable activity level. Battery life is advertised at up to six months. While I’ve not owned this camera system long enough to judge this, it does seem that they last longer than my previous generation cameras. This system is not without some downside, however. The mounts I mentioned above come packaged as one of each type in the box, and if you decide you prefer, say, two magnetic mounts, that will cost an extra $40. (To be fair, when I complained about this, customer service immediately sent me a new magnetic mount for free.) While the motion detection works well, if you want to select a specific zone, that will cost more, as you need a monthly cloud subscription. So, if the wide camera view includes tree leaves that set it off whenever the wind blows, you need to move the camera, get the subscription, or be prepared to sift through a lot of false alarms. If you want to keep images longer than the local hub can store, you also need the cloud subscription – and it costs more to keep 4K images than 2K images. While cloud storage isn’t free, it is cheap, and the prices seem a bit high for what you get. Overall, this is an excellent camera system with easy setup, easy use, and great images. I highly recommend.

    Don't buy. Cameras go out of sync often and are impossible to factory reset. Notifications and recording are not great. Quality of video is good. Not worth all the issues.

    Don't waste your money. Batteries don't last. Even with the solar panels added for assistance. There is so much of a delay that breakins arent caught in time.

    Was excited at first when I was going to buy it. 1st time buying an actual security camera and I decided to go the wireless route. Big disappointment. Connection sucks. Sometimes it won’t connect. Camera would stop working in 5F or below. Buy something else. Would not recommend this brand. Also, their support sucks.

    Love these so much I have one covering every angle of our yard. The quality of resolution, management of cameras online and via mobile is quite impressive, user friendly and featureful. I Love how their device manager apps provides one centralized place for all cameras, feeds and archives. Truly impressed by these and functionality. Very expensive, but worth it. Will be getting a few more for inside areas of security concern. Highly recommended.

    I bought this for over $400 and the cameras and company are just horrible! Why do i need to pay an extra $12.99/month for the basic plan? Without the subscription/plan, you cannot access anything. Also, there’s lagging! Save yourself the headache and money and stay away from this company!
