    This camera is perfect. Doesn’t need a base station. Wide viewing angle. Zooms in to movement and follows it. Love the spot light! Perfect!!!

    Terrible

    Absolute garbage. I bought this on reviews alone. Installed at 10’ just above the garage door. All settings for highest resolution. My WiFi router is less than 2 feet from the camera and we are on fiber. Response is close to a minute for live-view. Video quality is horrible.

    The quality of the video is great and the 2 star rating is only because of how often you have to charge them. A solar charger is a must of you want these to stay working

    I cannot properly review, as I returned the two I bought immediately after opening one of them after finding out that there is no way to permanently wire them for power. I was sure that I had read in the product info that they could be wired in, but no.

    Dont buy if you want to use this for Apple Home

    I bought this camera thinking it would work with Apple home, as the package and user manual claimed. However, I soon realized that this was a false advertisement. The camera only worked with Apple home for the first 3 months, when Arlo gave me a free trial of their security service. After that, the camera stopped working on Apple home and the Arlo app disabled all the motion features. I contacted Arlo customer support and they told me I needed to buy an Arlo hub for $100 to use this camera with Apple home. I reluctantly bought the hub, hoping to get the full functionality of the camera. But to my disappointment, the hub only allowed me to live view the cameras, with no recording, no notification, no alerts. Arlo deliberately disabled the Apple home recording feature, because they want me to pay for their subscription. This is a scam and a rip-off. I feel cheated and deceived by Arlo. I wasted my money and time on this product. I wish I could return it, but it's too late now. I do not recommend this product to anyone, unless you are already part of the Arlo eco system and pay the $10 for unlimited security service. Otherwise, stay away from this company. They are dishonest and greedy. I give this product 1 star, only because I can't give it zero.
