So far, so good.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only negative I have about this product is the drain the light has on the battery. Even with the XL battery the light loses about 1% if the light comes on twice and stays on for 1min each time. The picture from the camera is crispy and clear, and the light is bright enough to see in the pitch black.

Arlo 3 floodlight camera
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received this spotlight camera for my birthday. We live in a great neighborhood but security is something we thought would help with safety with all the children. The Camera is amazing. My wife and I installed It in about 2 mins. The light is super bright. The camera is very clear. Not to mention how simple the app is. Very good product. If your family is worth it, then Arlo is the way to go.

so far so good
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very bright and easy to set up. I had Arlo pros when they first came out and found them somewhat unreliable and difficult to maintain, with long delays. It seems as though the technology has come along way. No long-term experience yet

Pleasantly surprised
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased my pro 3 floodlight camera after my truck was vandalized and needed something with a good light but also a good picture. Installation was simple and I am more than happy with the resolution of the camera not just during the day but also night; it has a very clear picture even in the dark and the customizable zones make monitoring busy areas a breeze. I would recommend this to anyone.

Great product!!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Arlo has done it again with another great product. This spotlight cam is awesome. Very bright, clear and my favorite feature is how it automatically zooms in on the object thats moving. Clear nighttime color. Would definitely recommend.

Super bright high quality flood light
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Arlo flood light camera has been a great addition to our Arlo security system. It is super bright and has a very wide field of view. The picture is super crisp, both day and night. While a but pricy, you get what you pay for and that's a top notch quality product that was worth every penny

Great dual use product (camera and spotlight)
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is simple to setup adding it to an existing camera system. Good video quality and the light is exceptionally bright! Thankfully the brightness is adjustable as 15% seems to be enough for my use and that will help extend the battery life.

BEST Security Camera w/ Floodlight
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ARLO Pro 3 Floodlight was a breeze to install. The online video instructions were very helpful with the install and initial set up.The whole install took no more than 10 minutes to set everything up for use.Once, the ARLO Pro 3 Floodlights are fully operational for use, the video quality and the brightness of the floodlights has impressed me the most. No other all in one, camera and floodlight, combination can compete with this product. Highly recommend this to all that is looking for a security camera with a floodlight.

Another high quality camera
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup is very easy. The flood light is very bright and the brightness is adjustable. The camera is able to classify object detected such as animal or person, very smart. Video quality is very good as usual. I wish it comes with magnetic charging cable.

Best floodlight camera!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this camera to address a vulnerability in my driveway, after the catalytic converter was stolen from my car while it was parked in my driveway. The camera synced perfectly with my existing Arlo Pro base station and immediately showed up on my app. I was able to easily adjust the coverage zone and floodlight brightness. The camera is excellent, true 2k resolution, and covers my entire driveway to the street, and the floodlight is very illuminating. Mounting the camera was very easy as well, and felt very secure with the integrated mounting plate. Would highly recommend to anyone as either a standalone camera or integrated into an existing Arlo system.

The Fantastic Floodlight
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this product. The 2K feature is amazing. The quality is on point and incomparable by far. To zoom tracking, hands down, my favorite feature. I had the Arlo Pro 3 system and absolutely loved that as well; wasn't a fan of needing a hub for a few reasons. If you want a great security camera.. definitely consider Arlo. You won't be disappointed. Missing a star because to optimize all features of this camera you will need to charge the battery at least once every other week, if not more. All-in-all.. not upset with the near $300 spent.

Nice Floodlight camera
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup was a real easy with after the downloading the Arlo app and the wizard walk through setup. It has a really nice Floodlight that can be manually turned and brightness adjust from within the app. And also a nice little siren controlled within the app. I was really concerned with the lag in video feed initially. It was anywhere from 30 secs to a minute. HOWEVER, this occurs if you disarm the system. If you arm the system, then the video lag on my network is about 3 to 6 secs. I'm thinking that's acceptable for now, until I'm missing a package :( Mounting it was quite simple with the enclosed template back plate, As suggested in the Arlo app setup tutorial, it is easier to mount with camera and battery part disconnected. Not much information was given about the battery. I was concerned about the battery life and how often I would have to dismount the camera and charge the battery. After research online, I found the battery life to be anywhere from 3-6 months. I hope it is rechargeable when the time comes. As with all my devices, I always charge the battery fully before use. It still shows 100% after a few days, but then I don't live in Grand Central Park. There are other charging options, which I haven't looked into yet. It has a magnetic charge connection on the bottom, which requires an optional magnetic cable and solar panel to charge the camera battery. But I did notice that it does say camera wasn't functional when I was charging it with the included micro usb cable. Since there wasn't an actual owners manual included in my box, you can download the owner's manual online through the Arlo website. Just the floodlight camera does not include an option to use a SD card. However, if you have the Arlo hub (separate purchase) and are connected to it, you can insert a micro sd card there. So, just having the Arlo - Pro 3 Indoor/Outdoor Wire-Free 2K HDR Floodlight Camera, you either have to subscribe to the cloud service or try to catch notifications live (with a little lag). 3 months subscription included, subscriptions start at $2.99 or $3.99, can't recall of the top of my head. Overall, It is nice product, however, I feel a rechargeable solar panel and mag cable should be included. if it is your only security camera system that you have, then it would be good choice with it's wide viewing angle. If you currently have a night vision capable security system, then it isn't necessary. So if you're only wanting a single wide view camera, that is easy to setup and mount. This would be for you with it's long life battery.

Bright floodlight with excellent video quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just built a house and the builders did not put any wiring for a floodlight above the garage door (it was a cookie-cutter home). Anyway, I wanted to make sure that I had a motion-sensing floodlight and it obviously needed a battery (the wife hates visible wires). In all my research the Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight came highly recommended so I decided to get one to try out and I could not be happier. The video is always crystal clear, even at night and the floodlight is the perfect amount of lumens. It won't blind anyone but it makes sure that everything can still be seen. I really like the activity zones so I can draw out the area to make sure I reduce the number of false alerts. I am going to buy another one for my backyard.

Wow these are super bright and clear
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These things are amazing. I haven't mounted them yet but I have 2 of them in my backyard and I've had to reduce the brightness to 33% because they are so bright. And the recordings are really clear. Very happy so far. I've had Arlo cameras since 2017 and have been pleased. Yes there is a recording lag but it's something I've learned to live with. My current cameras are EOL so I decided to get 5 of these and with the customer discount code Arlo sent me I couldn't pass these up.

MUST HAVE!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera in addition to the doorbell/2 essential bundle pack for a black friday deal. It was the first to arrive and I installed it on the outside corner of my house pointing towards the driveway. Installation was very simple and took me only 10 minutes to mount the unit to a brick wall! The battery life has been great so far. There are so many useful features to customize within the app. The smart alerts are very functional and handy when away from the house. I have no complaints, only accolades! I am excited to install the rest of the cameras and see the whole system in action!

Great Camera, Bright floodlight
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The video quality is great and the field of view is wonderful! There is a firmware issue that is causing a static/flutter/popping noise in the audio that needs to be addressed. Other than that issue, I highly recommend this Floodlight and will probably buy a couple more of them once the noise issue is resolved.

Not what I expected
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had high hopes for this camera. Already have a doorbell camera from another manufacturer plus a floodlight security camera which I have installed by our garage. Had a very decent experience with the floodlight camera by the garage (different manufacturer), did hear good things about Arlo in general so decided to give it a try and use it on my backyard. First the good things. The setup was easy. The image is sharp, both during the day and at night. Camera looks solid. Great flexibility with setting up multiple activity zones and excluding some areas of the image from motion detection. Now the challenges. Easy to steal. Camera consists of two main parts. The mount which can be screwed to the wall or a post and the camera with the battery. If somebody wants to grab it, the mount is screwed and cannot be easily and quickly removed. But in order to remove the camera from the mount all you need to do is to press the release button on the mount and the camera can be taken out. I assume that this is for the purpose of easily recharging the battery, but still if someone just wants to grab the camera and take it with them, it takes only a second to remove from the mount. Poor battery life. Arlo advertises the average battery life on their website as 6 months. Mine was charged to 100%, then installed outside. Over the period of two weeks the charge went down to 17%. This is with the light setting set to the lowest and the video quality to optimized to “balance the video quality and battery life” as their setting says. Once I removed the light coming on automatically when motion was detected the battery life significantly improved. Poor execution of event notifications. Event notification will not take you directly to the current event video. Instead once you get the notification and then you click on it to see the event, you will be taken to the main section of the app, not to the actual recording. What you need to do next is to click on the Library button within the app be then find the video that you were just notified about. Video posts take time before they appear in the library. Upon clicking on the notification on many occasions the actual video was not there yet in the library, I had to wait several seconds before it did appear in the library. No pre-recorded video buffer. The actual video recording starts after the motion is detected. There is no pre-recording buffer like other manufacturers offer. What that means is that most of the videos begin when the movement is already in progress and you cannot see the motion from its beginning. You will not see in the video the first 2-3 seconds of the motion that triggered the recording. Event recordings are chunked into smaller pieces. The entire movement event will not be recorded all in one piece, instead you will get a series of short videos with gaps between them. For example I was watering plants outside, which took me about 3 minutes to finish. Arlo recorded 6 events out of that. Some were very short, like 13 seconds, some were longer like close to a minute. I was moving all the times along the way, still Arlo decided to cut the videos short and then trigger another event and another video recording. Inconsistent motion detection. On several occasions when I was sting in the field of the camera at a distance of about 10 feet away I would wave my hand several times and no recording would be triggered, no event notification would be received. On the other hand I would get several notifications when I was in the same place, not moving at all except my hands were moving while I was typing this review. So small movements could trigger the recording but several larger ones got completely ignored. I even got up and walked around twice and no event was recorded. Several minutes later all movements You have to pay monthly fees in order to fully use this camera. This camera, Pro 3, requires subscription in order to store videos. There is no local storage on the camera. Their prior version, Pro 2 comes with a 7 days free cloud storage. But Pro 3 requires subscription in order to store videos. You will get the first 3 months free as a trial, but afterwards you need to pay monthly in order to see your recorded videos. Overall I am somewhat disappointed in Pro 3. Maybe I was expecting too much. With inconsistent motion detection, recordings that do not capture the event from its beginning, the required two step process to see the actual video (cannot go straight from notification to the actual video), required subscription and no local storage Pro 3 it does not look to me like the best value to be recommended.

Great product, bright light and good image
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The image is clear including night color video captured. The flood light is very bright for my pathway, after running for a month the battery still have 40% left (30% brightness @ 1 min, about 20 triggers day and 5 triggers at night), great battery life. Love the product. I was using one Arlo Lights and one cam before, now I just use one single Floodlight camera.

Tons of Great Features
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this floodlight. Although I bought it primarily to light up my driveway and stairway at night, it also provides excellent images during the day. Wide exposure area and the light is super bright at night. Siren and audible feature make this a must have. Great looking and easy to mount. All of the various features are adjustable, so it is extremely user friendly. Battery life is fine, but I am going to purchase the optional AC charger cable so that I don't have to worry about battery life.
