Customer Ratings & Reviews

Summary: Easy to use, easy to set up and great quality video. Being wireless it is not as quick to pick up video as a wired camera might as it is usually in a sort of “standby” state until it detects something worth recording. There are lots of extra features in the base unit from alarms and local storage. Pros: • Good looks • Easy setup • Local storage (if desired) • Alarm built into base unit • Very high-quality video • App integrates into smart assistants • Six-month battery life • Versatile mounts • Night color recordings • Weather resistant Cons: • Subscription required for full functionality • Slow to detect due to “standby” state when not recording • Strange mix of mounts included • Proprietary charging adaptor Unboxing: The box will contain two cameras, a few sets of screws, documentation, a “magnetic” mount, a screw-based mount, charging adaptor, two batteries. Set up: Download the Arlo app, pair it with the base adapter, this works best via ethernet but can be set up via wifi. The base unit has a Micro SD slot for local storage if desired. When you pair the base unit and connect it to your internet, you will be able to set up each camera. The cameras will pair to the base unit so you will not have a bunch of extra Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connections to worry about. It is actually much easier to set up than I describe. The device came with a 30-day trial of Arlo smart (more on that later) for added functionality. Use: After mounting one on my front yard and one in the back yard, I tested the picture quality which is good! 4k video is present here. At nighttime you will get high resolution and color pictures, though a little degraded due to loss of light of course. When away from the home I received notifications (on my apple watch with photo!) when a person was detected. Also, you can set it up to only turn on when you are away from home to save battery life while at home. Arlo Smart is their subscription service which is optional. If you subscribe, you will get 30 days of cloud recording and better object detection, so you don’t get so many false alarms. You will also get alerts when packages are delivered and the ability to set up activity zones to limit alerts. If there is an emergency and you see someone break into your home, you can have an alarm go off and have e911 functionality or have it call a friend if there is an issue. A handy feature is to share access to cameras to a spouse or friend and allow them to monitor your cameras as needed.

They work perfectly. Sound and images are clear. Definitely would recommend this item.

I still haven't gotten it all installed. tomorrow khopefully they will finish the installing. No one's fault. my home was too big and we couldn't get the signal. I was told I needed a mesh router and a nother hub. then they will teach me how to use it. can't answer the questions until finished.

I installed all three cameras indoors and the batteries only last for 2 to 3 days at best . I've gotten in touch with the technical help Department three times and so far nothing has been settled I think they're all going back

Terrific camera system. The videos are eye popping. The color and resolution are professional grade.

Great product. There is slight delay. I find using it through my Apple home app it responds quicker. The app isn’t as intuitive as I thought.

Great product so far so good, I am very impressed with the quality of the cameras to be wireless.

The quality of this cameras are awesome. The video look amazing in 4k...Excellent product.

Do not buy Arlo cameras. What they don’t tell you is they are absolutely worthless unless you pay the $10 a month for their service. Very disgruntled.

These wireless cameras are excellent! Would recommend to get. Very easy to install.

Have older Arlo system. These miss a lot of movement. However it may be that we need to "tweak" them a bit.

Had no clue i had to purchase a yearly subscription for these cameras. Also the voice and sound doesn’t work like it’s suppose to.

Very poor battery life if you plan to capture real 4K. it will only last 3 days. No improvement in the range from its predecessor pro 2. This is not worth the money. I will return it.

Wonderful! It does the job well, and I haven’t had any issues so far.

Great product. I upgraded from the pro 2. Great value, ease of operating.

They only lasted 3 weeks and disconnected from the app. Until today I have not been able to reconnect them.

Works great! One for the front door and one for the back.

Fast shipping and product is excellent and works great.

The subscription features are not available in Ecuador and many other countries. Wish I knew that before I purchased it. Now the 15 days to return it have passed before I could return it.

Very poor microphone in these security cameras. Other inexpensive cameras have better microphones than these.
