    Battery DOA

    Battery dead on arrival. Spent the whole day trying to get this to connect to the app. Checked internet speed, performed soft and hard resets and restarts on iPhone and reset router back to factory condition, contacted support to be told to perform it all over again. Support then advised me to charge battery, did that for 3 1/2 hours and battery was dead again next morning without an app ever connecting to it. Appears that these Arlo batteries deplete themselves of charge after years of sitting on shelves. Will be returning the floodlight with the 3 pack essential cameras arriving today due to the battery experience.

    Provides great peace of mind with excellent coverage of my entire backyard. It had been particularly exciting to see how active our yard is at night. It seems to be the gathering place for neighborhood animals.

    Initially was impressed but then during everyday use not so much. They look great and practicality of installation was impressive. But im dissatisfied because at times you loose connection easily...battery does not last nearly as long as indicated also response time to get live video and turn off/on light on app is too long...greater video depth would also help.

    With the recent increase in catalytic converters I needed extra coverage in my front yard. This does a great job. And the added floodlight when triggered lets people think "somebody is watching."

    Great item! We are just trying to figure out the charge life. We have dogs that activate the light often which affects the charge.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. The Arlo Pro 3 camera batteries last approximately 3–6 months with average use. Average use assumes that you are using Optimized or Best Battery Life video settings and that your cameras record for approximately five minutes per day.

      Increasing the length or quantity of video recordings in your camera's modes and rules decreases your battery life.

      The following environmental factors also reduce battery life:
      Temperatures below 32°F (0°C)
      Low-light environments that require infrared sensors to work harder
      Weak connection to the base station caused by distance, WiFi interference, or solid obstructions between camera and base station

      If you need any assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team by visiting: https://www.arlo.com/en-US/support/

    Worthless junk

    Awful. It works as a motion-activated light, and I can watch live video through it, but it doesn't record (I do have an active plan) and the controls in the app do nothing. If I'm having a party outside and I want to disable it to keep it from turning on over and over, I have to get up on a ladder and take the battery out. Their customer service is nonexistent, the automated help doesn't work, and now they've announced that they're ending services that were supposed to last the life of the product. Don't waste your money on this.

    This is an great addition to my Arlo system already in place. I really like the fact that you can adjust the light intensity which helps the battery last longer.

    Great camera, bright security light, siren is a little weak. Overall happy with the product. I bought two to add to my system and so far the less than loud siren is the only complaint.
