Verified Purchase

Perfect clarity in picture and sound.

Needed to keep an eye out on an aging relative and these cameras have been perfect. The solar panels keep the batteries fresh and the picture is crystal clear as well as sound. Everyone feels safer and the relative feels watched over and cared for while they're up and running.

Perfect Security Camera!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been loving this security camera! We put it by our garage so we have a good view of our side door and down our driveway. The picture quality on the camera is fantastic and is so clear! I also really love the features this camera has. It can detect who shows up on the camera by name, and it even has a siren you can activate from the app. It's a great camera to have for that extra touch of safety and peace of mind.

Super quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this camera that we bought another one and I even shared with my friends - who bought the same Arlo product in a package of 3! Quality is great … user friendly to set up … connects easily to WiFi! I just got it so not sure yet about battery life but it has USB port so it’s chargeable … where I set it up - it has a wide range of coverage which makes us feel safe

Easy install and set up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new arlo outdoor security camera. It was easy to set up using QR code. Mounting outdoors was also super simple, I installed it onto my wood fence to face out. The motion detection was so good even a fly set it off.

Easy to use

Love how easy it is set up and the video is really clear, even at night. App is simple too. Just wish it didn't require a subscription for full features

Don't recommend

Bought this product because it had lots of promise. However it failed to deliver. Issues: *Must have subscription to record *There are no mounting brackets for the solar panels, so I guess you're supposed to just let them hang? Ended up buying separately. *Cameras would not connect. Took an 82 minute call to tech support to resolve. Had to reset all network connections in my phone (which is not a great solution). *Website says there is chat support, but there isn't.

Absolute garbage. 1st one failed after 13 months and was out of warranty. Now I changed internet service provders and the cameras cannot switch tonthe new network. After 3 days of arguing with Arlo tech support we were able to prove it was their hardware and there reponse is "so sorry you are out of warranty." Definately pass of these devices.

Don't waste your money!

Don't waste your money! You have to purchase a monthly subscription in order to capture video. You can get a notification on movement but when you go to look at it, there's no video. I've confirmed with the company, this is a premium feature. The cameras are useless without capturing video.

Hello <br /><br />No, Arlo cameras do not require a subscription to access basic features such as live streaming and motion or audio notifications. However, subscribing unlocks additional features, including 60-day Video History, Advanced Object Detection, Activity Zones, 24/7 Emergency Response, and more.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Arlo Team

Do not buy

Do not buy. Unlike previous Arlo cameras you must buy a subscription to record any of the videos. After 30 days you will have to buy to record events such as motion detection etc. it's a minimum of $18 a moth billed annually. The is $216 days each payment
