I was looking for an outdoor camera to keep an eye on my dogs in the yard when I'm not home. kzbin.infoUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe Tried a different one that was absolutely terrible, so I got these instead. They work perfectly! With 3 of these cameras I can see every corner of the yard, and they were very easy to set up. The best part is I only get the footage I want to see, not hours of videos of the bird feeder swaying in the breeze.

Just unloaded my last Arlo camera. When they stopped supporting the cameras and tried to force people on the subscription plan, it was the last straw. I got the 2 camera kit at Costco for $300 and added two more cameras. They would disconnect which involved climbing up and down a ladder to get them and take them in to the base station to sync. They needed a sync option on the phone app. They would go off on a moving tree branch but would not film the porch pirate in direct line of view. Battery life was maybe 30 days and no warning other than you constantly checking the devices on the app. I just got a 6 camera system with better cameras ( wider coverage angle and the ability to block out certain areas from setting off the camera) that included audio for half the price. Only 2 batteries needed per camera and a 2 year battery life. Easier install with only 2 screws and a snap on camera which solved the problems of the camera screw loosening or the parts dying. It has an optional subscription that includes an extended warranty and extra options.

Maybe you need to have a reality check on the monthly subscription fees. Nothing budget about this move by Arlo. I love the earlier Arlo idea of a base station where you plug in a hard drive to store all the recordings for FREE!, this move just feels like a money grab.
@perarne13873 жыл бұрын
But Arlo still recommends using the base station how is this a money grab then? This camera is not for you if you don't like to have a choice, i do have other cameras connected to my NAS and if i get Arlo i want to have the option not to use the station

Buyer Beware: These are great unless you don't want to have to pay $15 a month basically to use the product. Without the monthly subscription the only thing that these will do is show you a live feed with about 5 second delay. So if someone is stealing your package, breaking into your house or tagging your sidewalk, you can see it happen after it's already occurred. If you are monitoring live. There is no way to get a motion sensor recording onto your device of computer without buying the subscription service. So shell out $350 for a system that costs $15 a month to actually use. LAME.

Been testing this Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera. 100% charged and down to 94% after the first day of testing, but my cam is facing sidewalk, street, driveway and picking up lots of motion, even at night (animals). I prefer the spotlight on at night during detection but that greatly depletes the battery. So, camera power will last no more than 20 days. If I decide to keep it before the 30 day return window expires, I'll buy a solar panel to power the cam. On Amazon it's under $40. Hope that helps.
