    Still relatively new, but working perfectly

    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.

    If I had an option I would give a zero star rating to this floodlight!! Worst one ever, don’t waste your money! I have it for over a year now and soon as the warranty expired it stopped working. Oh, good luck setting up the subscription on Arlo products!!

    Its ok but next time I will go back to blink. For the money this should be extremely efficient and work 100% of the time. My blink had a 10 second delay but worked great. This constantly fails to record. Doesn't pick up even half of what goes on. Sad!

      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.

    Great camera!

    Posted .
    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.

    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!

    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.
