Great Cameras,easy install and view from anywhere In the world. There is a limit to how much you can view online. 4️⃣ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love these! Easy to set up and use. Perfect way to keep an eye on the house and kids when we are not home. Great option for anyone looking for security without a monthly based fee. We use both in and outdoors.

Read lots of reviews as we wanted a reliable home monitor for recent burglarys in the neighborhood. It is reliable, but not what I expected. It is difficult to setup, causes frequent false alarms, and picture quality is good but not great. We have weird schedules so its hard to use the automated system, but we rarely remember to turn it on manually. There are times when the object it picks up to start recording is back out of the picture by the time it starts recording, so you see nothing. My biggest disappointment is the HUGE table top router it requires to run and must be hard wired to your network. I also cant figure out why Netgear does not offer other home security equipment like door/window sensors or sirens that can be added on to the Arlo wireless system. You would have to buy yet another hub to operate additional security systems. The fact that this camera system was completely wireless is what sold us. I would hold off to see if they develop a better system with more add on equipment in the future, which they would have to do to compete with Samsung and iSmart systems. At this point we just use it to monitor the kitty when we are away, and there are cheaper/better options available for that purpose. C'mon Netgear, you can do better.

Bought the 4 pack after doing tons and tons of research on wired and wireless cameras. My friend had told me about the system and how great it was! I installed the cameras on the exterior of my home using the magnetic bases. Being from Kansas, I was worried about how they would hold up in the wind. Now through several severe storms with winds in excess of 60+ mph, not only have they not been knocked off the magnetic base, but they haven't moved any since I installed them! I then recommended them to my friend who bought one!

Great hd camera quality at night or day. Easy to use and captures great movies with the one we put att he hummingbird feeder

This camera is so easy to setup and use, no wires to run, no hassles, clear video and/or pictures, easy to monitor via a cell phone app or via a desktop/ laptop computers or a tablet. I highly recommend this product!

I bought this because it is wireless and made by Netgear. Works great. Dan

I found the Netgear Arlo to be easy to install and easy to set up. There is little lag time from when the camera sensor starts recording and my alert on my phone. Usually I know someone is there before they ring the bell. I had to contact service once to explain why one camera was lower in battery than the other. Apparently there is a sequence when you install the batteries. Once I corrected this both cameras have equal battery life. It's been 6 months and both have over90% left. I'd like a better facial picture but the cameras get fooled if they see the street or too much sunlight. The photo I included has a gray case I bought extra. Great product.

This is such a neat little camera system worked very well I recommend it no cables makes your home clutter free using this in my vacation home to keep an eye it works very well, very clear.

The security cameras were very easy to install and offered a beautiful HD picture. The night vision left room for improvement.

Very easy to install and the HD cameras are high quality

Battery supposed to last months in my business it only lasted 2 weeks you can see the picture is great

Great buy and easy setup. Picture quality is great!!

We have had senseless property damage. The clear picture, the alerts and the ability to go back and look make me at peace. I feel like someone is watching over me.

In the short time I have had the Arlo security camera system @ 1month it has worked really well, I have one inside and one outside. There are a couple things it lacks, a mic, better night vision and the option to plug into 120v.

I was concerned about image quality and battery life but both are very good. Not having to pay every month to get surveillance for my home was huge. I am very pleased with this product and will be getting more.

The product is awesome, but the Associate at BB/Silverdale named Stenton was Most Accomodating and KNOWLEDGEABLE. What he wasnt sure of, he either looked up, or explained what he thought to be correct, but could not get the answer on the stores computer. He is very much a Great Sales Associate!

These cameras are super clear and the app works perfectly. No buffering while watching live video as long as you have the proper internet speed and router. Night vision works well when the lights are out.

I wanted a security system for my home but was a little intimidated by having to run wires inside and outside my house. So I was thinking that a wireless system may be the way to go. I was concerned that the quality would not be good enough for my needs. The Arlo wireless system from Netgear takes all those worries away! When I first received my unit the first thing that I noticed was the Arlo logo…a bird that has the wireless logo as its wings – very clever! I unpacked the unit and had a base station, power cord, Ethernet cable, 4 magnetic wall mounts, mounting screws and anchors, and cameras with batteries. The quick start is nicely illustrated and will get you up and running very quickly. The first thing you need is the Arlo app…you can search for it in your respective app store on scan the QR code in the guide. You then have to hard wire the base station to your router. You plug in the power adapter and turn on the power button. The base station is very light at 11.5 oz. At waiting a minute or two, the power and Internet LED will turn green and now you are almost ready to start playing with your new cameras. You launch the Arlo app (or you can use your computer) and select New System Setup. You put in an email and password to setup your Arlo account. You now put in 4 CR123 batteries into each camera. You bring each camera within 1-3 feet of the base station to complete the sync process. You press the Sync button on the base station and wait for the Camera LED to blink green and then press the Sync button on the camera. A blue LED on the will blink rapidly and then go out – a green Camera LED on the base station will let you know the camera is now ready. Launching the app will bring up the views of the camera with a play triangle in the middle of each screen. Pressing the button will activate the video feed on the camera. You can connect up to 5 cameras for free (nice as some companies charge you for this service) with 1 GB of cloud storage. You can only login in from one device at a time. I was amazed at how easy the setup was to get the cameras running! At the bottom of the app you will see four selections: Cameras, Library, Mode and Settings. Cameras is where you can see your video feeds – you can activate one or all of the cameras. Library is when you will see a calendar with the dates of your recordings. Mode is where you can set up a schedule for when you want the cameras to record motion. Mine had a default setting of 8:00 AM – 4:59 PM Monday-Friday to record motion and all other times had motion turned off. It is very easy to change any of the settings by just dragging the time sliders. Settings is where you can change the settings of your system. You can adjust the sensitivity of the camera and the length (from 10 seconds to 120 seconds) of the recording once motion has been detected. You can also change the names of your cameras and the base station. You can also adjust the orders of the cameras as they appear in your feed. Once motion is detected, your iPhone will get an alert telling you. I recently got an Apple watch and now the alert also appears on my wrist! How cool is that! The video quality of the cameras are simply stunning! HD quality at 720p is amazingly sharp – I guess I didn’t expect such quality in a wireless camera. I tested both indoors and out and got good results in both. I would recommend you downloading the manual from the Netgear website. It gives you much more information on all aspects of the camera – for example – “For best results, the path of expected motion should cross Arlo’s field‐of‐view and not head directly into or away from the camera. For example, if you want to detect motion near a couch, place the camera to the side of the couch, rather than above it or opposite it.” It has a great diagram that shows that the detection zone for motion is 20 feet at maximum and 5 feet at minimum. There a motion detection test feature that that will flash the camera’s LED amber when motion is detected. You can also adjust the motion sensitivity of the camera. This is something that helped me. I had a camera pointed at my driveway, but it keep alerting me for motion whenever I car passed on the street in front of the driveway. I adjusted the sensitivity so that it would only detect motion in the driveway and not the street. The directions also walk you through how to set up a schedule to have the camera record motions at a certain time – for example Monday-Friday from 9-5 when you may be at work. I didn’t want it recording on the weekends during the day when I was on my tractor mowing the yard! It is very easy to click record everything on motion if you want to supercede the schedule. Night vision works very well for short distances. I have one camera directed on my front door and at night I can easily see what’s going on. However, the camera I have on my driveway, because it covers a larger area, is pretty much useless at night. The directions say the best height for the camera is above seven feet – the driveway one is about 15 feet up and covers a large area. I have two suggestions for Netgear for this product. I appreciate that the system comes with four magnetic mounts. This will allow you to mount them in different locations and move the cameras as needed. However, since they only attach to the back of the camera and the mount is not completely round it limits the angles you can get with the cameras. You can only attach the camera to the mount at the back of the camera (quite firmly I might add). It would be nice (and probably an engineering nightmare) to make it so that they could be attached at the top and bottom as well. Also, instead of including the four half-round mounts – maybe include one of their adjustable mounts (VMA1000) or a table/ceiling/wall mount (VMA1100). As of June 2015, the shipping times on these from Amazon are 1-3 months! My only other concern about these cameras is the battery life. They only record when they detect motion so battery life won’t be wasted. I’m hoping that I can get up to 6 months on a set of batteries. I’ll update in about six months and let you know how I did! I realize that in the colder months the battery life will not be as good. The basic Arlo account gives you seven days of secure cloud DVD storage (up to 1 GB) and support for up to 5 cameras. You can upgrade if this basic service does not meet your needs. These cameras are also weatherproof. They have already survived a couple of good thunderstorms will no ill effect. I hope they will do equally well in a western New York winter. This is an amazing home video security system! I am so glad that I found a wireless system that meets my needs, has a ton of features and has a great app and website. I mean it when I say that the setup and features on this system is amazing! Product sample.

Would recommend jus as described. This are some good Arlo security cameras.
