No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Reliability
Meh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works. Sometimes. Other times it will spam you with alerts and flash off and on like a strobe light. I have had to replace it once already and do suggest you buy a protection plan if you go with this brand. I would not suggest this to a friend and would steer them elsewhere tbh.

Useless without a premium subscription
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera was great until my subscription was up. Once it expires it will not record clips making the camera useless. DO NOT BUY. Go with another brand that doesn't blackball you into a subscription.

I would recommend this to a friendA brick if you don't subscribe to cloud storage
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this product unless you intend to purchase their subscription service and have the money to continually pay for it. I have local storage on my Arlo base station and never intended to purchase the subscription for additional cloud storage since the product information does not indicate that it would not record to local storage after the trial. After the trial ended, the device basically is a brick that alerts when there is movement but does me no good. I have local storage and do not want to subscribe to cloud storage. Be aware. The trail did not end until after the return period was already over and now the product cannot be returned and I have a $250 brick.

READ BEFORE BUY!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have another Arlo products at my home and I was pretty happy with them (some exceptions with the Doorbell that get broken for a light rain in Las Vegas... LAS VEGAS guys! it's a desert!) So I've decided to buy this Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight camera... Oh boy!!! 1. I got cracking noises, so I bought a WiFi repeater so they can get better WiFi coverage, 2. I got tons of false positives 3. I got tons of miss-tagging. My back home is by a canal and it detects cars there!! (What's wrong with you Arlo!!) They are definitely not working as expected. And the best part!! Oh men the support!! Arlo just instruct me to return the camera to the retailer, but it was already installed on the wall by a third party... Now should I have to pay them again to remove them?? Also I don't see how the same product will work differently? DO NOT BUY THIS!!! I REPEAT... DO NOT BUY THIS!!

Still relatively new, but working perfectly
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera was easy to connect and install, and it is working as described. It detects motion in a wide field of view, as I’d hoped it would, and the video is very clear. For me, the floodlight is a real bonus. My relatively new house was constructed with no flood lights, meaning that my yard is very dark when kids are out playing in the evening and when I let the dogs out at night. The the motion detection provides terrific light. I’m very pleased and recommend this floodlight camera to anyone with needs similar to mine.

Arlo FloodCan
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great image with 2k resolution and good battery life with extra large battery
I would recommend this to a friend Spend the extra money for a reliable camera
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reason I don’t like this camera is the fact that you get notifications about 10 seconds late. When my husband arrives home. By the time the camera detects the vehicle and it sends me a notification. My husband is already inside the house. So if that were to be a burglary I would have been already in trouble by the time the slow camera notify me. Plus sometimes it won't even detect very well or it misses recording important footage.

why arlo does not have range extenders?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was happy with arlo, until i discovered that the range is limited to 30 feet (not true; it is less than that). But i was really disappointed when i learned that if you want to extend the range, you have to purchase a second hub. Really? no range extenders like ring? arlo is own by Netgear, a networking company. It seems like it will be easier to develop a range extender...
