Arlo, should I write more?
True Arlo quality. Not as good as the Ultra series from Arlo ofc, but does its thing. I can recommend to all who wants to spare money but at the same time wants to have a good surveillance camera.
Perfect solutio
We use it for security in a large church out of hours and for licensed events – it is very discrete, easy to install and use – and very affordable. As the walls are so thick we needed three sets, but they all work well. highly recommend, and the merchant offered outstanding service as well.
Seems to work effectively
No problems at this point. Relatively easy to set up and detects movement well.
Upgraded from an Arlo HD Wireless Home Security Camera with Base station (2015) to an Arlo Pro 3 with base Station (2019).
Happy to see some good improvements. Here is my full list of Pros and Cons
Pros:
– Nice picture (wider and with more details than the previous camera!) and bidirectional sound (in and out), inclusing hability to talk to someone via the camera.
– Nice motion sensor sensitivy calibration via led on the camera. While adjusting motion sensor, led blinks when it detects motion which is good. This way there is no need to try each sensitivity level by via normal video detection and recording. More straightforward
– Good to have activity Zones and ability to filter/not filter persons, animals, moving objetcs, etc. These 2 features help to receive less notifications. Note that this will not help increasing battery life, because this are all post recording steps (processed in arlo servers)
– subscription costs seem fair enough to me. These are devices that are constantly filling their servers with data. There are streaming services that are more expensive such as Netflix, etx. Without substription we loose many features including level of security (someone can break your local storage, but hardly the arlo servers 🙂 ) , so worth to give the extra.
Cons:
– Arlo seems to follow the same steps as other companies such as Apple or Sony. They try make things as proprietary as possible. For me thats sad, and would be happier if i see arlo following more standards like batteries (2AA or 3AA for example), chargers(for AA and AAA bateries, for example), etc. If some of this breaks, we will need to buy all these expensive parts which is not something that would be really needed. Its more a strategy for profits, but i really prefer standards and reusability.
– would be interesting to have the 2 features (activity zones and notifications by animals, persons, objects etc) implemented by hardware, or somehow smarter, i.e., making the camara to do these steps and save battery by not recorsding, streaming, etc. Hopefully this will be considered in the future (but could increase hardware costs i believe)
– cameras are a bit expensive if without discount, but nice when with discount (bought mine with 55% discount, 2 caneras and base station, around 250eur. Not bad if you campare for example with smarphone that can easily reach these these amounts. Good to give a bit extra instead of cheaper security cameras.
Extra Notes:
– this security system is good, many times people complain because they dont study/explore the system enough. For example, while doing my experiments, noticed after a good time that t was triggering way more than it should (even with the record areas defined), because i also had the system armed when sound was detected. In my case i just disabled the sound.
– having the camera in a good and strategic place and well positioned is essencial. Should be in a place hard to reach and placed in a way where the sensor will detect meaninfully most of the times.
Overall a good produc
Does the job in a subtle way
Many options out there, none perfect all have at least a couple of issues which you need to decide which issues you can live with. The faults on this are need to subscribe after free cloud runs out. Otherwise need to buy data stick and faff with security internet to allow you to see recordings away from home. Second issue is you get one screw in clamp and two magnetic clamps to hold the cameras to the wall. Magnetic look great but rubbish so need to buy a couple of screw in clamps which are great. Otherwise brilliant as far as I concerned.
Does work, good quality video.
I like the video quality, especially the daylight ones. I don’t like the battery life, I had to buy set of four solar panel chargers on AliExpress, which have cured my problem.
Lack of instructions in fine tuning the system but initial setting up is easy
I like the quality and ease of initial setting up.
Don’t like that there are no guidance instructions for working your way through all the various fine tuning options. You have to guess and stumble your way through by experimating. No explanation of what the options mean! You get two magnetic mounting brackets – which I wouldn’t advise using because it would be so easy to steel the camera- and one screwed extension bracket. I went on line with Amazon and bought two more screwed extension brackets. Overall, impressed with quality, but early days yet.

Battery Life
When looking for a wireless security system Arlo seems to fit the bill. Very easy to install and the integration with the app works extremely well.
Battery Life
the claimed 6 month battery usage between charges is very optimistic and i can only assume this was carried out under extreme circumstances, so for real world use its very doubtful. That being said we get about 6 weeks from ours which are in constant use with pets etc. Im still more than happy with this time .
Easy to set up
I don’t have any dislikes. The product is well made, easy to set up and works efficiently.
Brilliant!
These cover our gardens and windows. We have been able to access these on holiday half way round the world. Picture quality is excellent. Easy to set up and install. Instructions are simple to follow.
Brilliant system
I’ve been using Moobox cameras and got totally fed up having to charge the cameras every few days. The Arlo 3 pro system is far superior in terms of image quality and motion detection.
The moobox cameras also kept dropping off the network, no such problems with Arlo.
exceeded expectations
I had a cheaper camera, but in reality I didn’t check the app cause it was annoying. so I realised I wasn’t actaully securing my house with that camera. I saw the good reviews, went for the arlo pro4.
now the app sends me real alerts when things happen around my house, and I can see the preview without even going into the app. that really impressed me.
too early yet to know about the battery, but it appears good.
Does the job
We bought one of these for a recent trip. I was nervous about the reviews that said that the battery died out quite quickly, but in our case it was totally fine after about two months away (and near daily check-ins). The night vision feature was helpful, as was the ability to turn on the light attached the camera.
Quick delivery, easy to install, no cables, all via Wi-Fi.
The only thing which can be muted is the beeping when it detects movement.
Superb system and easy to setup
After lots of research, the Arlo system ticked all the boxes and have to say not disappointed. Very easy to install (also bought the wired bell) and easy to use. Good battery life, great picture, and good support from Arlo ( needed some help wiring bell)

Clear picture-
Easy to install – does the job it was bought for !!
Very senstive
The system in itself is good and sensitive but when you try and turn motion and animals off it does not do this so you have a lot of false triggers which flattens your battery and annoys me pinging, the side house batter has lasted just one week and not 6 months. The push notifications are not in real time they take about 5 seconds to get to your phone by this time someone could have been in your car. The system in its self is slow to load once you have an actual notification to see animation of what is happening outside.
Great wire free camera
Easy to use and easy to set up, this model doesn’t need a hub or subscription it is quick to arm and send notifications , make sure you dont buy one that needs a hub or you will spend twice as much
Amazing quality!
Best smart camera available – look no further unless you want 4K. The quality is excellent and as far as I can tell, battery life is great even with the light on.

If you want the best security camera Arlo is i
Very robust and easy to to set up and install and the results are stunning and we feel safe. The rechargeable batteries are easy to deal with, the weather proof covers are superb and signing up to cloud recording gives you full effect with the lights and emergency siren on the cameras should you need it. The base station is compact and easy to pair with the router and we are delighted
Good Camera with some problems
Loads of good points for the cameras.
Great quality video
Reactive notifications
Stylish
8.99 a month is far less than a security service.
But. The battery life Is pretty poor. No way it would last six months. And the set up. What a pain, if it disconnects it can take three or four times for the cameras to reconnect.
However, once they are all working. It is an amazing service.
Pretty good
Very easy to set up and install. It looks as though the batteries will last about 2 months before a recharge, quite a bit less than the headline period often quoted of c6 months, but manageable. One the bugbears is that the motion detection facility persists in alerting us to cats even when the cameras are set to spot people and people alone. Having said all of this at current prices the Pro 3 set offer decent VFM and I’m pleased that I bought them.

Good Surveillance system
All my cameras are close to the base unit, so no issues with connectivity. I also managed to hook up an old ARLO HD camera (720) to the network. Pictures are very clear and the functionality is very good with geocaching (system turns on when my phone leaves the house) and detection zones that can be customised by the user. I think this is a good system
The Arlo system is very good
I had my e.bike stolen prior to
installing 2 Arlo cameras, I feel
safer now. Night vision is good
and so is motion detection.
Best ever security system ever.
Motion detection outstanding, registers if animals or humans. Night vision is more than adequate. Picture quality exceptional. I started with a 2 camera system, this is an addon. 15 cameras can be added. Wide angle of detection. So easy to set up, took me less than 30 minutes.
‘Does what it says on the tin’
Night vision, picture quality and motion detection all very good. WiFi performance rather weak even though there’s no walls between the hub and the camera. Battery life could be much better. First recharge needed after 2 weeks! Worried about the corrosion resistance of the recharging contacts as we live by the sea.

Requires a Subscriptio
Excellent design and image quality. But, I did not realise on ordering that I needed a subscription to unlock all the features – not necessary on my previous (earlier version) Arlo cameras.
Simple to install and use
Replaced old wired system that meant hard drive, monitor and drilling holes in wall. This one is simple to install and use. Battery operated. Software as an app only iPhone and iPad. Can see delivery drivers, foxes at night, spotlight comes on at night, simple replay. Family can see on their devices too.

Extremely easy to install and very useful to have on my phone, the picture quality is excellent. I have one positioned on the kennels and the dogs move around frequently so have loads of notifications and so the battery usage is more but overall very, very pleased.
Wireless cameras
Brilliant setup and easy to use grr product had seen some not very good reviews about wireless cameras but these are excellent can’t fault them..
If in high use area with lots of detections recommend a power supply via usb cable
We are very pleased with this product
Easy to install and use
Picture quality and night vision is very good along with recognition of objects etc.
Excellent!
Did quite a bit of research before I chose Arlo but very glad I did. Installed and set up easily, but be prepared to take time time with this (all similar systems need this time). Responsive customer services very helpful with queries. Image quality and operating features excellent. All my cameras are permanently connected to chargers and I would recommend this unless you use video zones to to isolate unwanted movement, eg bushes and trees. Also, you will not have to disarm cameras during the day if you are, for instance, working in a garden which is under camera surveillance. I use four cameras to record motion triggered clips and have purchased a fifth camera that, when installed, will record constantly to monitor vehicle movement in and out of the close we live in (neighbours very happy about this). Really pleased with this system.
A very good produc
This is an expensive system but gives excellent results. The instructions for setting the system up are very clear and simple. However, positionihof the cameras is crucial particularly if outdoors to avoid strong sunlight and rain drops on the lens and had to buy custom made covers for the cameras which overcomes these problems.

Great produc
Having upgraded from the Arlo Pro 2 system, this is a big improvement. Fantastic video quality with a much wider viewing angle compared to the Pro 2 cameras.
Hopefully the re-designed unibody case and magnetic charging port should prevent water ingress which plagued the Pro 2 cameras (one of my Pro 2 cameras got wet via the USB charging port).
All in all a great product and well worth the money.
Impressed and disappointed
The cameras are very good quality and easy to set up and are user friendly on your phone or device
But the fact they are blue tooth means ypu are restricted on were you place them because they have to be charged up, and very regularly sometimes twice a week which makes a mockery of the six month battery life the manufacturer says
Also the one camera is hard fixed by a bracket, but the other is held in place by a magnet and i am dubious that it would hold it securely in high winds
All in all slightly disappointing for ober 400 for 2 camera’s and a hub, plus you have tp pay a month fee after 3 months trial period.
Excellent Purchase
Recommended Arlo by a family member. So far, we are very pleased with our purchase. Very clear coloured night vision, motion detection and excellent picture quality.
Great cameras
These are great cameras, easy to set up and install. You choose the alerts you receive. Very easy to use through your phone
Arlo Pro 3
The cameras are easy to set up and install. Works with Apple HomeKit seamlessly. The settings are simple to understand and offer a range of camera options. Night vision is amazing, tracking is spot on and image quality is fantastic. The only negative is battery life, mine ran down in 3 weeks not 6 months as described in the product info. If you can access the cameras easily and recharge them they are a very good product.

I purchased the Pro 4 camera solution. Within minutes I was up and running. Everything you need is i the kit. Video tutorials are simple to follow and effective
Amazing Cameras
I am absolutely delighted with my new Arlo Pro 3 cameras. I owned a Arlo Pro before, and I couldn’t be happier with the change! I would definitely recommend these cameras!
And very easy and quick setup. A
Arlo pro 3
The Arlo pro 3 2K is a fantastic product with many great security options to set your cameras up to according to whet you want to capture and or record. Picture quality and live streaming is seamless. Easy to instal.Thanks Arlo.
Great upgrade from previous Arlo versions
Decided to upgrade to Arlo Pro3 from Arlo and it was the best decision made. Easy to install, the quality of the picture, recordings and sound is such an improvement. Really recommend.
Fantastic cameras you won’t regret installing these!
I bought the four pack of Arlo wireless cameras. They replaced my Hive, which, quite honestly have driven me bonkers. They would drop out all the time, you can’t mute the sound. There was a lot I didn’t like – Then along came Arlo. I absolutely love them. They haven’t dropped out once, you can mute them, have the light on. They have an inbuilt siren, what a great idea. The picture quality is great, no complaints. I love the way they auto zoom and focus. The light being on does eat up the battery in a high motion area, however, you can switch this off. So far I am super pleased with Arlo and would not hesitate in recommending these camera’s.
Easy to install. Good picture quality.
No wires, which is excellent and easy to install. Good video quality. Only problem is that sometimes the camera recognises steam from my boiler as an animal.
Great system
Very easy to set up, great video, good alert/notification system to the app. Gives piece of mind to keep an eye on the property. I looked around at other camera options before buying – arlo pro 3 is quite expensive, but it is worth it.
I’ve now been using these devices for 5 months. I purchased this two camera kit + one additional camera. I have a small, end terrace house with a camera on each corner. Cameras no further than 8m away from Hub, through one external wall each. Front is also through 2 internal walls.
Simply, I’ve learnt that you cannot beat a wired system. Not just for the obvious case of battery life, but for general reliability. I have 200mbps Virgin broadband with 20mb upload (deliberately increased to try and improve). My findings:
– The batteries are appalling in ‘busy’ motion areas, especially in cold weather, lasting approx 1 week. Arlo say that even with motion zones set, the camera still uses battery to process the motion and ignore it. The front house camera is simply useless without being connected to mains power. It watches a low footfall pedestrian pathway and medium traffic central housing estate road. One car approx every 10 mins at busy times, perhaps.
– Almost every time I have attempted to access live view via the app, for whatever reason, the response is slow and not at all as advertised. It frustrates me as I’m trying to see who’s at my door, whilst in the Supermarket… watching a circle go round and round. Sometimes, a simple restart of the app helps. Other times, the Hub is needing a restart as cameras fall offline. Pointless’ springs to mind. This is sometimes the case in the middle of the night and also during peak times for broadband usage. A real hit and miss. Arlo support simply haven’t got any answers and I don’t really blame them.
I still however, do like the system. Having tried this now, I wouldn’t purchase again. I would resort to a more expensive and more reliable WIRED system that simply ‘works’. But for now, it suits. I have purchased third party outdoor chargers for front and back to save having to go up a ladder every week, two-weeks. Only improvement is battery, still they take a while to load, sometimes and still fail to connect to Hub. When these products are advertised on large American house, I simply can’t see them working too well. My shoes box sized house struggles with super fast internet. Again, Arlo have no answers. Each use case is different which is why you SHOULD buy and try.
This product gives you peace of mind and confidence
Home security, Brilliant pictures ,even picks up Bees flying around the camera
Good produc
Good product. Very easy to set up and user friendly
App is very useful and intuitive, and cameras themselves are very good.
Couple issues I’ve had around detection:
1) mistakes pets for humans, if they’re up on tables, counters, etc
2) motion detection triggers automatic recordings which are a touch late – when you view the recording, the person/pet who triggered the camera has already been in the room for a few seconds by the time the video starts
Other than that, worth noting that the USB storage option (for those who don’t want to pay extra for Arlo’s cloud service) is useful, and let’s you view content from your USB drive on your phone, but doesn’t let you delete videos from the USB. For that you have to remove the USB drive from the Arlo hub and plug into your PC.
Good Ki
2K gives a good balance between the visual quality and the storage required. I bought the three cam option. Set up was easy but you need to ensure the hub is located to give the three cams a good signal – this may not be possible if you have cams at front and back of your property (a second hub/subscription may be needed). So plan before you buy and read the Arlo FAQs on their support site. That said it’s very good quality product and quick to set up.
Excellent cameras
Bought these to add to some earlier Arlo cameras but these are so much better. The images are really clear and they pick up sound from quite a distance.
Simple setup, lasting battery, and flexible paid plan.
Arlo beats the competition with its unbeatable flexible pricing plan. All other features are the cherry on top. Reviews are critical of battery life but in my experience with regular use it lasts as advertised. Arlo’s detection (capabilities/features) stretch the life of the battery by using smart tech for detection. This minimizes notifications and hours of unnecessary footage.

Care of the elderly
A system perfect for elderly care in ensuring safety and well being
Outstanding quality
The Arlo Pro 3 cameras, offer outstanding quality. The image is crystal clear, with a very wide angle of view (user changeable in the app).They were very easy to get connected and are very straight forward to fix to the outside walls (i did purchase an extra screwed mounting post, as i wasn’t happy with the magnetic option not being tampered with, as an outside location). I also purchased the solar panel chargers, so i never need to manually charge the batteries again.
Great wireless camera
I really like the Arlo pro 3 and Arlo Ultra. It lets me see a nice wide angle and gives me peace of mind that my property is being watched.
Great design, OK performance but still a good buy
Great cameras, subtle and smart design, extremely easy to set up.
There is a compromise between battery life and image resolution, so images don’t look as good as they do on the Arlo website if you want a reasonable battery life. The Hub also has a fairly weak range, not working for me one floor up and two rooms down. Tracking doesn’t appear to be limited to activity zones, so my cameras are picking up more than they should.
I have grown to not be able to live with out this camera system!
It is state of the art for a wireless camera and works so well with the app.
I genuinely get about 6 – 7 weeks life out of a single charge.
The picture quality is amazing too.
Any questions ask and I’ll try to answer quickly.
Reply
There is a bit of a delay in receiving notifications on mobile devices other than that it is good
Quality video stream easy to connect to hub but battery use is high> battery life not as advertised
Quality video stream and easy to connect to the hub but the battery on these if you use with full functionality is poor lasting only weeks rather than the advertised months. ideally these should be supplied with outdoor weather proof power connection.
Also watch out for the cloud subscriptions and make sure you set system to record on hard drive or SD card depending on your hub base type. Check the system compatibility table to see what camera can be used with what hub . Ideally you need WiFi in the house and a smart pad or phone to download the arlo app to view the files or live viewing. Failing that you can use as a dumb system and record onto SD card or USB drive.
Works really. The emotion and person detection is excellent. We bough this system to keep an eye on an elderly family member during the daytime tomake sure that they are OK at home.
Has a really clear microphone and speaker for emergency contact too.
However, if you have the sensativity turned up to make sure that you pick up plenty of movement, the batery will drain within 48 hours so the additional charge leads would be a must.
The multi user app option is really good, and the master user can specify which camera’s different people can see. You can also grant and deny each user the abilty to change camera settings should you wish to.
Overall: Very impressed
The Arlo hardware and monitoring software is fantastic. I would urge everyone to forget about hard wired camera when Arlo comes out of the box, installed and monitoring within minutes. Fantastic.
Solid but expensive
Solid system if somewhat overpriced. Motion detection could be further and activates best when the movement is across the camera, so not ideal when looking straight down a driveway. WiFi range is good even when 20m from base station. Charging the batteries is annoying without a charge station as you have to remove the camera which can mess up the activity zones. Camera playback is good when full screen on a PC, but would be nice to have the cameras display in 4 real quadrants.
Easy to install and effective.
Installed following a burglary as a stop gap pending an upgrade to the alarm including professional CCTV. In the end we decided to stick with these. Best to consider them motion sensors that then record what they have seen rather than live cameras. Easy to install on the wooden soffit. Have installed Arlo Solar Panels to avoid having to replace batteries. Certainly fulfill their purpose. Not cheap but certainly reassuring.

These are a good mid range camera. They have great video quality and the microphone is very sensitive
If you are upgrading from Arlo or Arlo pro these are worth it but from Arlo Pro 2 you are just paying extra for the Spotlight and slight increase in video quality.
At 2k the video is very clear, there is a wide angle lens option so you can see more. Can’t fault them for their night vision and colour night vision (using the spotlight) it is also very clear.
The sensitivity has been improved over the older model which is great, sometimes a little too sensitive but this can be tweaked.
As with all Arlo cameras, they are very easy to install. You get one magnetic mount and one screw mount, it’s a shame you didn’t get two of each. These will work with any existing screw mount you may have.
These are wireless cameras but I suggest you get the charge wire so that you don’t have to compromise on any settings.
