I have 3 other Arlos in my boutique and wanted a few more and these aren't nearly as good as the others. It's been since July and now the battery life dies after 1 day or 2 at the most and they only give 1 charger. They seem to have a problem connecting to online sometimes too. I have no problems with the Pro3 ones I have had for 2 years now. I would have thought these would have been better.

I have 4 ARLO Pro cameras and after 12 months of experience I can strongly recommend that you skip them. The software only records on motion and RARELY properly detects motion. For example a lawn service man walked 20 feet in front of my camera, no motion, hence no record. Software lag makes them near useless to use in real-time too (10+ second lag). Cameras routinely stop registering activity and have to be reset. The biggest plus of ARLO - easy to setup.

I have had 2 sets of these for several months now. I am VERY Disappointed. One camera refused to synchronize with the app so I was unable to use it for quite some time. After a month of messing with it periodically, I finally got it to connect. It lasted for a few weeks and dropped offline again. I have been unable to reconnect it. Another camera worked fine for a while before it dropped offline. I fought with it for a few hours before I got it back online. After I had reinstalled it - way up on my chimney - it disappeared from the app completely. The video is significantly delayed. Supposedly you can communicate with people via the cameras. I have tried it for my front door and garage cameras. It has not worked for me at all.

(After 6 months of use) These cameras are of really good picture quality. It is nice to sometimes use the mic to talk to family or relay messages when they are coming and going. The cameras did not trigger motion as far out as I wanted, but all in all, not bad. Once the free trial subscription ends, unless you pay approx. $10/mo, you lose the video logs. That means you get alerted of the motion on your phone, but unless you immediately open the live view, you will not know what set it off. You also lose the option to set zones. I used to zone out my American flag because it would set off the cameras in the wind, now that I can't set the zone, I either need to move the flag or disarm the camera because it keeps alerting me of the motion.

Be aware that to charge these cameras you will need to buy the stand-alone charger for $50 or take the camera off the mount to attach the charging cable. I was hoping to be able to remove the camera from the housing and charge it that way but the cable only connects to the housing. You could play battery swap-a-roo with the one attached to the solar panel. Also, there is not a spare battery included like some other kits available. Shop around and you may find a better deal.

They don’t hold a long charge. 1 solar panel is for 1 camera so you’ll have to take down the other cameras to charge. It hit 10 degrees here last week and it drained all the batteries to 0. The solar panel is also not charging the 1 camera. I’m going to return it it’s not worth the money

I am heavily invested in Arlo products, spent over $1500, and was shocked and saddened to see the announcement of no longer supporting their products that are just a couple years old. This is a bad business move. Additionally their app has gone downhill over the years. It used to be fast and snappy 5+ years ago, but not anymore. Now it takes too long to load that I just give up even trying.

The cameras are awesome when they are working properly. I constantly have connection issues with them, having to restart them multiple times. The options through the app don't always work as they should. If I could go back before buying a bunch of cameras, I would look into different companies.

Stay away from Arlo. You’re forced to use their app, which has a monthly fee. Unreal for what I paid. One would think the service would be free. Activity zones are disabled if not connected to AC outlet or solar panel, what crap! Thought WiFi would be great, not with Arlo. Go with another company, stay way away from Arlo.

I bought over $1k of Arlo cameras at Sam's in May 2019. They have performed great, but Arlo just announced an end-of-life policy ending support for these cameras. Really? Just 3 and a half years? It was a great system, but I won't buy again with this short of a lifespan.
