      Hi,

      Thank you for your review. The delay you are experiencing is normal behavior. A slight delay is expected as the camera must communicate with the Arlo cloud when live streaming.

      There are ways to optimize motion detection of your cameras detailed here: https://kb.arlo.com/1015583. Get more details about managing motion detection sensitivity here: https://kb.arlo.com/41.

    If you Have Arlo, You Gotta Get This Camera!

    Wow! This is a game changing floodlight and camera from Arlo. First, the camera is about the standard sized Arlo camera, but it is encased around LED floodlights on both sides. This makes the overall device much larger and heavier than standard Arlo cameras, but trust me it's worth it. The camera has an outstanding 2k HD output, and a really wide-angle view. The camera interacts well with my existing Arlo2 system and setup was simple. Now to the floodlight... Many have written that it isn't that bright or was weak. I'm here to tell you that it lit the area of my driveway quite well, easily overwhelming an existing motion light that I had used. Now, it supposedly is brighter if it is always plugged in, but due to it's location I cannot test this. I can tell you it is well bright enough for me as it is on battery power. The light from the floodlight enables colored night views and does a great job. The battery life is great (had it mounted for several days, with a normal amount of activation and the battery is only down 10%). Mounting was pretty easy, even did it without an assistant. There are plenty of videos on Arlo's site on how to mount and operate. Bottom line, this floodlight camera is a winner and a must buy if you need camera and floodlight coverage that work together! Highly recommended!

    Great camera!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Overall, we're loving this camera. We upgraded from the Ring camera and there's a huge upgrade in features. Great picture quality - even at night. The light is super bright. Battery life moves a lot faster than what we had before so going to get an extra battery. Only downfall so far is the install. The screw to mount the camera to the mounting plate is very small so it got stripped as it went in and now we are waiting on a new screw to finish install. Customer service to get the screw was a long process. Looking forward to getting it back up and running.

    The Arlo - Pro 3 Indoor/Outdoor Wire-Free 2K HDR Floodlight Camera is very easy to install and use. One of the best features of this unit is that it is wireless. The Floodlight is motion activated and the sensitivity can be adjusted from the phone. The brightness of the floodlight can be adjusted to save battery power. The video is really very good. Auto zoom and tracking can be set in the Video settings on the phone. The camera has a 160 degree viewing angle. A siren can be activated, as well. The camera supports 2 way audio. Videos are viewable on the smartphone - stored for a temporary period of time. The camera comes with a plan to store video permanently. It is free for the first 3 months. The temporary storage of video can be stored manually by the use. The app (iOS) makes it very easy to adjust settings and control how the camera works. The rechargeable battery is easily accessible. . You can also turn it on and off from your phone. This camera security system if great for residential. It comes with numerous features. It is easy to configure and performs what it is designed to do.

    Gets the job done

    To begin, go to your app store and download the app (the Arlo app is a light green hummingbird with a dark green background and the category is "Lifestyle"). Create an account and then get started. As you are following the prompts, you get to a video that shows you how to install the camera. This was one of the easiest cameras to install for me. The video is so easy to understand, and the steps involved in setting up the camera are very quick and easy. I love the fact that it has no wires to connect to the house. It is all wireless, so make sure you have great connection. If you do not, you can always get a WIFI extender to help. To mount the unit on the outside, you only need a Philips or flathead screwdriver or power drill. It took me two minutes and three screws (these were provided in the box) to mount the base (the green arrow must point up) where the unit gets screwed into. One of the easiest installations ever. Once you are in the app, you make changes to the settings. At the top right corner of the app’s home screen, is a red circle with a white shield. If you press this button a window at the bottom of the screen pops up with the options call 911, call a friend, or activate the siren. You will have to setup the call 911 and call friend features on this. The siren you can test out now. Press “activate siren”, then it will ask you to select your device and then press it. Then swipe the red button to turn on the siren. I tested it, and it has a piercing sound then switches to a siren sound (like an ambulance sound). I didn’t think it was loud enough to get someone’s attention who is inside their house. From my room at the back of the house, it was difficult to hear, and this was with no other noise in the house. I’m pretty sure a neighbor who has a tv on in their house will not be able to hear the alarm. At night if the alarm goes off, perhaps. But I do wish the alarm was louder. I tried to get the speaker to work but could not. It has a feature for you to be able to speak to the person in front of the camera. In all fairness, I did not try to call customer support to get help for this. These are the two features that knocked my rating down by one star. The light on the unit is very bright. The video quality is 2K, and it looks very clear and crisp in the videos that the app records. You can also take snapshots and the pictures are also crisp and clear. At the bottom of the app, you have an icon for the library. I love how this is arranged. Once you press this icon, you have the days at the top of the screen that you can select and then all the videos and pictures appear below. If you do not have any videos or pictures, you cannot select the day. On the home screen you have a picture from the camera’s POV. This is the live screen. If you press the play button, you get a live feed. Below this picture at the bottom right corner, you will see a little gear. Press this and a window pops up for the device settings. Scroll down to “device utilities”. This is where you can make adjustments to the camera positioning and the motion detection test. This camera is best used along a flat wall or an inside corner (not the corner of the outside of the house). It has a range of 160 degrees. You get a free 3-month trial where your videos are stored on the cloud for 30 days. If you go to arlo.com, you can select the premier plan for $2.99/mo (one camera) or $9.99/mo (up to 5 cameras). My recommendation is this is a good product that gets the job done. There are some features that I would need more time to figure out how to use to get the most out of my unit. The resolutions for the pictures and videos are great. The siren is not loud enough for me, but hopefully loud enough to deter any break-ins and catch other people’s attention. The light is very bright at night and offers good natural looking lighting.
