    Installation was very easy! Batterries run out within minutes when you scheduled. It is very hard to find places to buy batteries too. Very unhappy with my purchase!

    This was my choice as the best wireless security camera. Installation was very easy and I've been adding more cameras for the property.

    I purchased the 4 camera system and added an additional camera. I am no stranger to home security cameras. I’ve had Pansonic and Logitech Alert in the past. I addition to the Arlo, I have the Dropcam Pros and the newest version of the Dropcam Pro aka Nest Cam. Total cams for theses are 6. Five of which, I have the 10 day cloud recording service associated with my Dropcams/Nest cam. Plus of Arlo - No wires - Small and can be placed anywhere - Weatherproof Minuses - Poor IR illumination (I supplemented with addition IR lamp) - HORRIBLE motion detection recording - Battery Life ( I get about 1-2 months) - No ability to set zones for recording/detection - Image recording quality can be pixilated at times. - Support - No audio The ARLO system is not a legit security system for the minuses I mentioned. The motion detection is the deal breaker. What use is the system if the camera catches only a partial part of the incident. I have set my cameras up as indicated in the manual so the motion is captured from side to side. Problem is when the cam detects motion and starts to record, the incident is either already gone or you catch the end of it. The inability to set up “zones” is also a big issue for a security system. This would allow you to cut down on false motions and also save battery life. The Nest Cam/Dropcam beats the Arlo hands down in pretty much every aspect with the exception of being weather proof and wireless. Motion detection is far superior, night vision, audio, and the software all exceed what Arlo has to offer. The Dropcam/Nest does not offer cording unless you pay for the cloud recording. I have all my cams on cloud recording and it is worth the extra money if you want a good reliable security system. My cams are recording 24/7 and record the last 10 days. So, I don’t ever have to worry about missing the action like the arlo. The Nest also allows for user set zones also. The ARLO has severe limitations and for that, it is a subpar “security system”. If you can afford the cloud record, I’d recommend the Nest Cams. If you don’t want to spend money on recording, I’d look into other system and not the Arlo.

    I installed two cameras in my living room so I could view areas where doors and windows could be accessed. They seem to work very well.

    The arlo camera system is a bit over rated. one big let down is the batteries go out pretty quick. Not happy that they cost 40.00 to replace batteries in each camera, which we have had to replace three times already.

    I bought the ARLO 4 pk system which I had installed by the Geek Squad. I later decided I needed another camera and purchased the ARLO Netgear 2 pk. Once I installed this I found it did not have the features the original system had and did not work as well.

    This system would have been a great fix for our needs but the batteries needed replacement too often in a short period of time.

    Every one should be warned that you have to buy 4 batteries per camera at $10 each so that’s $ 40 per camera. The batteries only last a couple of weeks. Who can pay $160 a month on batteries. I can not.

    Only problem with this camera is that the batteries don't last very long. Have to replace the batteries about once a week.

    One camera shows with a red tint. I have to send it out to be replaced. Other than that, I love the system. I talked my mother in law into getting a system for her house.
