When I first decided to invest in security cameras, I did a lot of research to find the best option for my needs. The Arlo cameras stood out to me for their easy installation process, high-quality video recording, and remote access capabilities. I ordered a set of cameras and eagerly set them up around my property. From the moment I connected the cameras to my phone, I was hooked. The live feed feature allowed me to check in on my home at any time, whether I was at work, on vacation, or simply out running errands. I could see who was at my front door, monitor any unusual activity in my backyard, and even keep an eye on my pets while I was away.

I like this system. I am scraping my wired lorex camera system and switching to arlo because of its ease of use. There are limitations to a wireless system, but I find the software is so easy to use and trouble free that it is my preferred camera company. Keep in mind with most security cameras, the main issue is going to be the software you use to connect to the system. Software issues are more common than hardware issues. While you can always replace a faulty camera, you cannot replace the crap software you are forced to use to access your system. Arlo's software is top-notch, easy and reliable. That's why I like this company.

I love arlo. I have been a user of Arlo since the companies inception. Every year the quality of the cameras have gotten better. I have owned every system they've made. I usually always upgrade to the newest cameras. Currently upgraded my system to the 2nd gen 2k Essential and Ultra 2 4k cameras. My house has 8 cameras I also purchased solar panels for maximum battery life. I trust arlo with my home and with my life. The app is simple to use and adding cameras is a breeze.

I have 6 arlo cameras around my property and am overall happy with them. The main concern in when I can’t load the page when someone is at the front door and is very frustrating. Not really meant for quickly checking who’s by the door but for a security system to check things back up in case of emergency. So far thankfully I haven’t needed that. But gives you peace of mind to know you have it.

A very good do it yourself home monitoring system. Fees/cost are one time cost for camera(s) and wifi interface device. No monthly fees unless more cloud storage is required. Cameras are very versatile and easy to install and move. Works on motion detection, videos are stored on cloud and accessible through pc and table devices. Sends email or text notification when motion is detected and includes link to video.

My husband bought one for us to use as a kind of baby monitor/camera. We started using it when our baby was around 4 months old and was sleeping in his own room. It has been really nice to have when he takes naps and during the night. It would send us alerts whenever there was motion or sound detected.

We have used Arlo cameras for years. It has a good picture and good options. I've even dropped it a few times and it still works. I do not recommend that though lol. I find it to be a very reliable security camera.

I have a number of the Arlo cameras in use now. I really like the quality of the video and sound. It is upsetting that the company only gives a 3 month trial for saved videos and charges high rates thereafter. I can only afford to view live at this time.

I have the Arlo Pro system and am able to monitor motion and sounds around my house. My system stores 7 days worth of data to the cloud for free and allows me to back up locally onto a hard drive. I got these after a break-in and now have comfort knowing my house is being monitored.

Being a newer player in the game from my understanding, Arlo has a great product for a reasonable price. I love to always look into and get the new tech that comes out. So as I started looking into Arlo you can tell that they are looking to provide a quality product without breaking the bank.

We purchased the Arlo system from Costco and added another camera we purchased from Netgear. We have them installed outside. The set-up is fairly simple but troubleshooting is a challenge. Virtually impossible to get a human for help. The cameras are inconsistent. This past week I got more recordings of moths and garbage trucks than of people walking into and out of my home. The cameras are aimed correctly and the batteries are fresh, but they simply do not record everything. I have one camera aimed at our driveway since we've had our cars broken into. Yesterday I was unloading groceries, must have made 5 or 6 trips to the car, and the camera did not record me at all. Will be returning these and looking for a new system.

I had Arlo for about 3 years and was very Happy with their service. I paid $2000. For the hookup and cameras. Then toward the end of my 3rd year, the company Stopped the connection for using the Chargers. Wanted you to Buy an Upgrade. That did Not sit well with me. Because We figured, This or Something else could happen again After buying this upgrade. So we went to another service.

I used to sell security cameras and Arlo seemed to be the one that always worked the best. Their monitoring is top tier, as is all of their equipment, I always try to have the best and Arlo is just that.

Great quality cameras. I have the Arlo Ultra, they were a little bit more expensive than other companies, but the quality is awesome. You get what you pay for. I have not had any problems with the system. Battery life is pretty decent too.

Great cameras and options but the app went downhill and cameras are starting to lose their sensitivity after a couple years. Customer support isn't great either.

My first outdoor cameras were Arlo. From the beginning, the batteries ran low so often and they got expensive replacing them. The cameras would catch a fly buzzing by, but literally missed someone throwing eggs at my house and getting into my garage. I was furious that they caught NONE of that footage. After that I stopped using them.

The cameras were great and easy to use. The only reason we returned our cameras was because they didn't have a good option for a free service continuous service with their wireless cameras. Otherwise, the cameras were solid.

I have a whole home system with them and recently switched it out. It’s not as simple and easy to use as some of the others now on the market. It’s over priced and it worth the money it takes to keep it current.
