I am using 1 camera right now and it is working well. The images are a lot clearer and sharper. The field range is bigger too. The problem I have with the Arlo cameras is that they do not always activate when motion is in its range.

The Arlo Cameras are very good with an excellent video quality. I like them, but I do not like the platform that is used. Specifically, the recordings from the individual cameras do not record 24 hours a day. I have the Nest cams and those do record 24/7.
The main reason is that the cameras run on battery power. If you do not mind that the only recordings are of actual movent in view of the camera then these are a good choice.
I returned my cameras for that reason only. The product is exceptional.

the cameras are not that user friendly in terms of pinpointing the range. We get a lot of cars, etc., that use up battery and that we were told we could reduce the range. Maybe we are just too technologically impaired. The cameras do take good video.

The range is not quite as good as advertised but the picture is great and the battery for the camera at the main door only lasted 1 week before requiring charging. When using the app the features far out perform the old Night Owl system we had.

Ive owned a few previous models of Arlo. This is the best! Ive used it now for more than a month and this model has the best quality video capture. Live the 189 view. Con: without the cable charger, the wireless disnt last but a month in the high traffic area. Bought cables for all so i dont have to worry about dead battery.

The camera is a nice camera, doesn't do as well as others in low and dim lighting. Wish the quality was better being its a 4k camera. The features do work well within the smart All subscription. Support is great, you can access support right within the app.
A couple of frustrating things:
It can be very difficult to get a strong signal to the bridge, and will more than likely require another bridge if you have cameras inside and outside.
And again the video quality could be better, hope they increase the bitrate in a firmware update.

Petty good value for 3 4k cameras and mounts. The extra battery is nice as well (but man it if was more than 1 extra battery it would help so so much)
The software to use them is also pretty good, make sure your on the new system and not their old app which is not obvious at is deprecated.
The new software has object detection, person, vehicle, and animal detection where your free to configure notifications based on that while having the cams record anyway. This is an extra service along the tune of 15 a month for the storage of videos which is understandable.
The BIGGEST issue with this set is the WEAK arlo base you connect the cameras too. The signal is pathetic and I actually recommend any other product due to this. Please don't save money on this piece arlo common, if the cams can't stream the data to this because of this it makes all the great tech here worthless.

Coming from Ring products used for couple years before i switched over. Luckily it was on sale! Had to get it and night and day difference and it catches everything pretty fast animal,person, and vehicle and it puts a square around the area that has motion. Happy with this purchase!

Excellent camera system. It was east to set up. Depending on how high you mount the cameras, you might want to get either the 25 foot charging cable so you don’t have to remove the battery to charge it, or the solar panels for the same reason.
Video taken is of excellent quality.
The only flaw in the product is sue to the alerts from the Arlo app. If you live on a busy corner like I do, you get constantly annoyed by the alerts. You can turn them off, but only for a max of 24 hours.

Was honestly surprised by the value here. Yes it’s expensive, but if purchased in pieces, this would have been far more expensive. Have had Arlo cameras in the past that we loved and so far the upgraded versions are awesome. We love the new features. Have had minor battery life issues but were hoping it was just a defective battery. We are going to work with BestBuy and Arlo to see if we can rectify that problem. Otherwise amazing deal!

Easy to use, reliable batteries, and do not to be charged often. Audio and visual are of high quality and you can adjust settings to what you needs. These cameras were just a add on to my already in place arlo camera system. That's how good they are.
