Brilliant camera
Good quality, slight lag in live video (due to WiFi and being outside)
Easy to install, lots of settings to adjust detection zones.
Battery last around 2-3 months before needing charging, takes around 4-5 hours for full charge.
Definitely worth the money for peace of mind at home.
You can View live anytime anywhere on your phone.
Good strong spotlight (adjustable) and you can talk live down the camera if you need to
Exceptional video.
Easy installation,app works brilliant. Very clear video, bright light at night motion. Only downside is you get notified if bird /cat crosses field of vision however video notification will specify animal.
worth the price
I had a eufy, and wanted another camera. A friend showed me what his arlo could do and the app. I was particularly impressed with the app and how easy it was to view the history of recordings. far better than eufys. ok there is a subscription but worth it as I can leave the notifications turned on as they are clever and only show actual movements, rather than a cat walking by. I wasn’t going with eufy after finding out they store my data in China, whereas arlo is stored in Europe.
I also liked how the app gives a preview image on the lock screen.
the image quality is good for my needs, I’m not fussed about 4k.
and I didn’t expect it but the spotlight does really work.
I chose this for better security
I have a arlo pro which was fine, this is alot better. I was going to go with eufy cause they are cheaper, but when you look into who is behind them, and I’m conscious of who has my data and videos. so I’m ok with paying a little extra for this peace of mind.
the 1080p is a good bit better than the pro I have. so happy.
Wakes up and starts recording much more quickly than any of my other Arlo cameras
I’ve never been satisfied with Arlo camera wake-up and record time, until now. Had I known how slow Arlo cameras are to wake up I would not have bought several of them, however this new Essential camera is the mutt’s nuts
Very reassuring
I’ve used older hub based battery powered Arlo cameras for several years, but tried this instead when I wanted another. I am just using it for reassurance in a remote area and have not tried the motion sensor. The built in white light is useful, but not much better than normal IR for my use. The battery life so far has been “interesting”. The first charge was going OK, but I removed the WiFi hub for a couple of weeks and the battery went flat super fast. I’ve not tried it again, second charge is holding up quite well, but doubt it will be 6 months. Looks like wifi signal strength might be a factor? I don’t think any battery powered camera solution is going to be “ideal” but happy so far trading off expensive disposable batteries with instant swap out for slight inconvenience of taking an hour or so to recharge.
