Arlo solar cameras

Had no idea you had to add other solar panels to each camera.

Great little cameras!

Very easy to set up and I love having the ability to set up when the cameras should be armed.

Great Purchase

We love our security cameras! When I found out these will only work with a 2.4GHz WiFi network, I was concerned. I called my son, a computer expert, in my opinion, and he told me, I have a new modem. New modems come with multiple speeds. Sure enough I did! Ours are working great. My husband went outside last night and the spot light came on.

Helped me access damage from Tropical Storm Fred

This product works well right out of the box. The cameras were not shipped with a full charge. The instructions recommend that you charge them to 100% before installing them. But, Arlo only gives you one charging cable for all four cameras. That means that you can only charge one camera at a time, my first complaint. I had to skip this step since I only had a short time to make the installation. I purchased an additional three solar panels because all of the cameras were outside mounts. That is my second complaint. There should be a solar panel for each camera in the box. Once connected to wi-fi through the app, each camera goes through an automated setup process that includes any necessary updates. The cameras were fairly easy to mount. After I installed them, we were hit by tropical storm Fred and lost power. The cameras took a beating from the storm, but did not budge. They were offline until the power was restored my wi-fi router and the solar panels were able to recharge the cameras. Since this was a vacation home, I was happy to be able to check out the damage to my property remotely. Fortunately, it wasn't bad at all.

Great system

System is very good and overall fairly easy to set up. Takes a little patience but works great once it connects. We have one camera that doesn't hold its charge very well, but the rest last quite a long time. Overall, we love it for the added security.

Love these

The quality island the features are immaculate.I was concerned that you would have to be right up on the camera for it to activate. However, the one at my front door picks up every time my neighbor across the street leaves home as well as the garbage man because those 2 vehicles stop in front of my house. I love that the notification tells me if it is a person, vehicle, or animal so I'm not alarmed every time it goes off.

Old outdated technology but at a great price!

Old outdated technology but at a great price! Bought this camera set to monitor sump pump and interior of home. I have the Arlo Ultra 2 camera set which has removable batteries for quick replacement and magnetic cord attachment. The Essential has neither and uses the micro usb connection. Lower resolution camera set okay for what I need. Easy installation like the Ultra 2's.
