Customer Ratings & Reviews

great product, i replaced an older arlo setup. The getting all the cams linked to the server and head unit was a little difficult but if you carefully follow the directions no problem.

It is an amazing product, and it helps me so much with everything that happens outside the house. when im not close to home. It is a really good camera and i recommend to buy it cause it works fantastic

Amazing cameras. Easy to setup and use. Highly recommended

Camara has excellent resolution especially the night vision.

Great quality video , easy to install i like the detection alerts

Honestly, this set/system really surprised me. From set-up, to install, ease of use, and performance. Set-up was a simple process for me. More or less follow some instructions and you should not have any issues. At all. Installation was more of the same for me, but I suppose that will depend on your specific situation. Regardless, the provided hardware worked for me and I think will for most as well. The cameras themselves really impressed me. Fantastic quality, day or night (all color). A very detailed, nice, crisp, and clear picture with a wide field of view. They also come with a real nice set of options and features. As does the app. Two-way audio. Motion detection (very quick). Deterrence features (spotlight and siren). Alerts. Notifications. All of these things work well, consistently, and timely. All of this works in the app, but I really like that the cameras work with my Google Home set-up. It seems all of the major players work here. As for the build, well, I can’t really say yet, but time will tell. I am confident that this will not be an issue. Everything seems well-built. We shall see. Given these are battery based, which l love due to there being no wires, I was very excited to see a dedicated charging station. I have never had this before and I think it is a great quality of life improvement. I don’t expect battery life to be an issue, but it is just nice to kind of have this covered going forward. If I had one issue with this system, it is that a subscription is required to use some of the premium features. I get it, and frankly, for the utility it provides, the price is reasonable and I suppose it is a good value. It is just “one more subscription.” I guess I just wished they offered a bit more for those without a subscription. That said, in the end, this is a very good system, and I think it is a very good value for all that you get. I would say check your use case and what you are looking for from a system like this, but if that aligns, I do think this would be a good choice for most.

Best wireless cameras on the market. Do everything I need them too and more.

I highly recommend this camera for your home security.

I returned the items, decided that wasn't what I needed

This is a great system it has everything . And the picture is clear

I've been using Arlo since 2018 and love it! Just upgraded to gen 6 great system, even better then before

This is the second set I have gotten. Loved the first one. Now the time to upgrade went with the same kind from Best Buy

Little bit of a challenge to get base station to connect to my wifi but may have been an internet issue and not a product issue.

I disliked the mounting brackets and the battery life is still the same as the pro 4 series

The cameras are great, however, the batteries drain super fast even if they aren’t triggered by anything. Looked to purchase additional batteries but weren’t available. I have to recharge every couple days if I don’t disable the cameras. Big bummer

Love watching my birds with it! Fantastic bird watching

These cameras are almost a niche that works in some ways and is inconvenient in others. The cameras themselves have great picture quality, they have good battery life and they have a very good field of view. The battery life for us on a pretty active driveway seems like it will last a couple months. It's been in the 30s at night and 50s during the day so I'm not sure if the cold will affect that at all. The field of view is so wide I actually used one of the narrower modes on one of the cameras. They have 3 widths, but the thinnest width distorts the image somewhat so I went with the middle one. The extra/detachable batteries and chargers is great. It makes is much easier than having to remove the camera to charge. I've swapped them out to test a couple times and it takes 30 seconds once you reach the camera. The downside is that depending on where you have the camera mounted it can be difficult to get to. One of ours is about 16' up on the soffit so a solar panel would be a better option if they make one. I haven't checked that yet. The base unit looks nice and doesn't look bad sitting out on the desk where it was easy to wire into the network. The setup only took a few minutes which was great. I like that it has an option for local storage so I don't think you'll have to have a subscription, as Arlo's subscriptions have gotten very expensive. The AI object recognition has been working very well. It's gotten animals, people, vehicles all correct every time and almost always zooms in on that movement on the thumbnail delivered to the phone. The notifications normally come through as like a GIF so you can kind of tell what movement was happening without opening the video. That's very convenient. The only reason I'm ranking 4 stars is because I cannot tell exactly what functions I'm going to lose once the complimentary trial period expires. I don't normally intend on paying subscriptions for cameras to work so hopefully these are still as functional once that's done. So far they've been great and if you want something that's easy to swap a battery on instead of charging each camera this would be an awesome option.

I'll just say up front that most of my mediocre response to these cameras had to do with how many ads and other upsells you have to deal with and weed through in the app. The cameras are decent enough and they're pretty easy to set up. It just, already, annoys me how many ads I have to look at in the app while already owning Arlo cameras. Setup is easy enough. The biggest issue I ran into is that this bundle contains two power supply cords but doesn't label which one goes to which item. The jacks are the same size and looking at the quick start guide I kind of thought the larger supply looked like the one they had in the tiny picture for the hub. After wondering why the charger station wasn't working for a while, I realized I had them switched around. If you squint a lot, you can barely make out the power requirements for each item and then squint some more to find the specs of the power supply unit. A simple sticker that was easy to peal off would have been wonderful to give you an indicator about which power supply goes with which item. After you get that sorted out, plugging the hub in to power and ethernet powers it up and makes it discoverable in the Arlo app. The app walks you through all of the categories of items you can add and even does a pretty good job at helping you know which version of the equipment you have by telling you which type of USB port it has or where buttons are located. Connecting cameras to the hub was just as simple. Everything just took a little bit of time for firmware updates on the initial setup but otherwise it was all straight forward. The app is just not fun to use. In order to add these cameras, I was told I needed to "upgrade" my app. It didn't require a new download on my phone or anything, the app just paused for 10 seconds saying it was upgrading and then it was done. But the new "streamlined" interface just doesn't flow very well at all. It feels like things aren't in intuitive places and it takes some real thought to figure out how to navigate it. I'm sure if you use the app enough you can get used to it but it just doesn't feel good to use in general. And that's before even mentioning how many ads you have to wade through in just regular use. There's a big banner across the top of the app what seems like at all times. There's banner ads mixed into your feed of motion events. Every screen just screams at you to buy more Arlo stuff or purchase one of their subscription plans. This is in an app for controlling a not inexpensive set of hardware you already bought. Just leaves a real icky feeling all over. Then there's the subscriptions. There's a $30/mo and a $20/mo subscription. They both include unlimited cameras which is nice at least. The $30/mo plan includes "Home Insurance Discount" and "Arlo Safe App Family Subscription" as well as "24/7 professional monitoring" and "Emergency response" on top of all the AI detection features and expanded cloud storage that the $20/mo plan includes. I will say, I got a trial subscription with another Arlo camera I got and that did seem to clear up the ads (until the trial expires). So you can add that as another perk to being a subscriber, I guess. If you're looking for 24/7 continuous recording, there's a separate subscription that costs $15/mo... PER CAMERA. So right back to the icky feeling here. As far as the cameras go. They're nice enough. The 4K quality seems pretty good. I really like ultra-wide lens to get more of the room or outdoors in the frame. You can even adjust how wide the FOV is if you're looking to keep an eye on a smaller area. Everything is fairly basic and standard with most cameras that I've used. I do find it funny that there's a setting for color night vision, but you can't use that setting if you turn the spotlight off... so their idea of color night vision is just shine visible light at your scene. The standard infared night vision is fine too. Another strange decision is that they included 2 magnetic mounts and 1 standard screw in mount in the box. Couldn't spring for 3 of each so you could decide which way you want to mount all 3 of them, I guess. The cameras aren't really a thing I have a problem with. They aren't mind blowing or anything but they get the job done. The quality looks good enough if you have a good signal. The battery life is pretty good and it's awesome that it comes with charging station so you can have two batteries (this bundle contains 1 extra battery, so you'll need to buy another one if you want two extras) on standby ready to swap in whenever one of the cameras starts to get low. Homekit is also supported out of the box but no secure video. So you can view your cameras in your Home app but you won't be able to review clips or anything like that. So all in all, I don't dislike this camera system. It works well. It's easy enough to set up. If you have your hub in a good spot to get good coverage on all of your cameras, you should have some smooth sailing. Being able to watch cameras in Home is a big plus as well since navigating the Arlo app just isn't fun for me. I feel like I will dread the time when my subscription trial expires and I need to review a clip in the app. If the app's functionality isn't a dealbreaker for you and you don't mind being yelled at constantly to buy more stuff, then maybe this system is for you. But I feel like you can shop around and find something that doesn't just want to squeeze you for every penny you have.

The Arlo Ultra 3: Wireless 4K HDR security, 2nd-gen battery-powered, with a Dual charging station, is a DIYer's dream. Quick setup right out of the box, and you're off and going. The 4K cameras have a 3840x2160 resolution, offering very clear images and video. With a 180° field of view, you don't miss anything. Video is stored on a memory card and in the cloud. But the cloud requires a subscription, billed monthly or annually. Thanks to their durability and construction, you can install them both indoors and outdoors. They work in conditions down to -5, so there's not much to worry about the cold; they can also handle heat up to 140°. And you can communicate with people on the camera using a two-way mic and speaker. Night vision up to 25 ft in color. And a 24 frames-per-second refresh rate. Wi-Fi is very impressive, capable of up to 2 Mbps. And batteries are easily charged with charging pads. Arlo knocked it out of the park. The Arlo app, available on iOS and Android, gives you complete access to clips and live feeds, as well as 2-way communication with the person on camera. So if in search of cameras that can be easily installed check them out.

I love Arlo cameras. They are some of the best on the market and these 3rd generation Ultra cameras are no exception. These camera offer great 4k quality that is unmatched in most areas. They also feature a spot light that works great for motion. They also have excellent night vision. The battery life is super long too. I have had them for a few weeks now and haven't had to charge. The base station is great as well and offers an option to store video locally which is great for those looking to avoid the cloud. The Arlo app is easy to use and works great to set up the cameras. There are tons of smart options to set activity zones, smart notifications and so much more. Some of these features are unfortunately behind a paywall but if you're willing to pay for the subscription there are some great camera features. Overall these are excellent security cameras with the most features on the market. They are easy to set up, the app works super well. I would recommend these to someone looking for the best on the market.
