Light and video exceptional and easy to install. One note, works best with the base station as you then get Homekit support and connecting is quicker with livestreaming with far less lag.

This is my first outdoor security camera and the quality and durability so far is beyond par. Video resolution is excellent, light brightness at night is so bright and reaches vehicles with ease. The only thing I wish would improve is battery life, which is a lot to ask, but overall… peace of mind has been achieved nonetheless. Satisfied with my purchase.

Camera really surprised me, using to watch a dark back corner of my house and if anyone or anything moves it’s quick to turn on and start recording. I wanted the black version but realized I’d rather have someone spot it and change their mind if they seen it. Setup took less than 5 mins of you already have an Arlo account, if not then less than 10 mins. The included screw kit was easy to install also

Purchased the floodlight and solar charger to compliment my arlo doorbell. Setup took a bit as the camera did not want to connect to internet, but that was finally fixed. It’s only been a few days, but I’m very happy with my purchase so far. The video is clear and the sound is great. Tons of options such as strength of light, light duration, strobe or constant light and so on. The solar charger is great as well as I don’t have to take the unit down to charge the battery. I’d recommend this unit to anyone without hesitation.

I have to say that I was little bit skeptical at first but I have to admit that I 100% satisfied with my decision to pick this brand. At first we were torn between the RING system and the Arlo system but in the end I read many reviews and did my homework before I made the decision to pick the Arlo system. Great quality, ease of use with the app and great quality video. The only thing that I would recommend is that you spend the extra money to invest in the solar panels because it is safe to safe that this unit will most likely be installed in one of your more active zones.

Solid camera and floodlight combo with 2k video and ability to connect directly to WiFi or to your Smart Hub for local storage of videos or over the cloud (Smart Hub Connection) with Arlo Smart Subscription (WiFi Connection). Camera usage far has been good and reliable and is compatible with existing Arlo Pro3/Ultra solar panels. No issues withe video or connections.
So far very content with purchase as device was especially for placements of flood lights where electrical wiring is not convenient. Would recommend the Arlo Solar Panel to keep it charged up as the camera/light is a little bulky to handle.
Suggestions for future versions:
- Floodlight is a soft white (off white color), I think it would have been brighter if the did daylight white.
- Also, would have been nice to be able to program the light colors like the Arlo Security Lights.
- There's no metal thread connection for existing camera brackets as you're required to use their adapter which still flexes a bit since it's plastic.
- A ceiling mount is needed as the exsiting bracket will not allow you to install at 90 degrees so you'll likely need to install on a vertical plane or wall.

This camera floodlight is very easy to install and simple to use. I got the solar panel to use with this product instead of dealing with charging batteries since it’s too high for me to reach. The clarity is great and notifications work well. The light is bright and lights up the area well. The only reason I gave it a 4 rating instead of a 5 is because there is a very slight delay of about 1.5 seconds. Not a big deal at all. I highly recommend this product.

I love this floodlight camera! I have had Arlo cameras for years, and I love them. This is the first time I have purchased this camera and it was well worth the cost. The light is amazing and illuminates a large area, which in turn provides better video captures. It’s also a huge plus for walking safety by illuminating our driveway and walkway when needed. I will definitely purchase another one when they go on sale again.

he Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera is a great security camera that provides excellent video quality, whether in daylight or at night. The super-bright LED floodlight illuminates the area and makes it easy to see everything. The camera has a white body with an oval black front that houses the camera sensor, microphone, and a small speaker. The device has a six-month battery life, and you can buy additional batteries for $50 if you’re worried about not having your camera up and running during the few hours it takes to charge every six months. The device charges through a MicroUSB port.
The Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera is priced at $249.99 1. It was released in May 2020 and is available now straight from the Arlo website as well as most retailers 2. The standard model comes with a solar panel that can be used to keep the camera charged up without having to worry about charging it yourself 2.
Overall, I would recommend the Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera to anyone looking for a high-quality security camera that provides excellent video quality and is easy to use.
I hope this helps!

We love it! Great wire-free spotlight camera. We wanted a device that was easy to set up and did not want a wired device. I believe this was pretty much our only option. We also purchased the Arlo solar panel to keep it charged. The Best Buy Total Tech installed it for free. No complaints. Distinguishes vehicles vs people vs animals. Camera moves with motion. Very pleased.

I’ve used the camera for a little over a couple weeks now. The picture quality is great but I can’t seem to get night vision to work so the light has to come on to see anything at night. It’s a little slow to connect at times anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute and notifications take some time to receive but the light on this thing is pretty strong and the viewing angle is great. Overall a great light and camera for the price.

Ive owned 3 arlo pro camera's, and two arlo security spot lights ± Netgear base station. For just shy of Two years. And this arlo pro 3 floodlight is arguably arlo's best product thus far. I have 2k (1080p) full HD video quality, with a Floodlight brighter then any security light available from arlo. And i can personally say brighter then Ring floodlight/Camera all in one. This is wireless and NOT connected to my base station. It has its own wifi wireless connection to my modem. 5 stars would give 10 stars

Overall, quality of the Arlo camera is great. Clear voice and sound. Easy to setup. The main issue I have is the ability to charge, there isn't a separate charging station or port, so you either need to purchase a second battery and the battery port or take the entire housing off to charge the battery. This is ridiculous design.
