It’s so good choice.
I’ve been using the Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera for a few weeks now, and overall I’m quite happy with it. Setup was quick and easy—it connected to my Wi-Fi without any issues, and the Arlo app is intuitive and easy to use.The video quality is excellent, especially during the day. The 1080p resolution provides clear, detailed video, and the wide field of view covers a large area. The night vision also works surprisingly well—the image remains clear even in complete darkness.One of the best features is the built-in spotlight and siren, which can be activated manually or automatically when motion is detected. This adds an extra layer of security and peace of mind. The two-way audio is another handy feature that allows me to communicate with visitors at the door without having to open it.The motion detection is accurate, although it can be a bit sensitive at times. However, you can adjust the sensitivity and set activity zones to reduce unnecessary alerts.The only downside is that some features, like cloud storage and advanced object detection, require a subscription. But even without it, the camera offers solid performance for basic security needs. A great choice for those looking for a reliable and easy-to-use outdoor camera.

Perfect for My RV – Easy Setup and Great Quality!
Impressed by the quality and ease of use!I installed the Arlo Video Doorbell on my RV and was amazed by the 2K video quality, even at night. Setup was super easy, and it works with both battery and wired connections. The two-way audio is crystal clear, the motion sensor is just right, and the built-in siren adds an extra layer of security. Great value for anyone looking for safety and convenience!

Does the job
I got the Arlo camera not really knowing what to expect, but ended up liking it, especially for the cost vs quality balance.Setup was super easy—the app walks you through everything step by step, no confusion. The video quality is sharp, even at night, which honestly surprised me. I guess the flashlight feature helps too. Battery life has been solid too—I’m not constantly charging it, which is a plus. Overall, it’s been a reliable, no-hassle way to keep an eye on things when I’m not home.There is a little lag to the live stream, but it does the job.

Total security with unsurpassed quality
I’m delighted with this second-generation Arlo 2K camera! Since I installed it, I feel much safer at home. The 2K image quality is impressive, both day and night thanks to the color night vision. It is perfect for exteriors and interiors, and the best thing is that it does not need cables, which made the installation quick and easy.The built-in focus is very powerful and activates with movement, which helps to deter any suspicious presence. In addition, the two-way audio is excellent for communicating with people at the door or even with my family inside the house when I am away.The live broadcast from the app works smoothly and allows me to monitor everything in real time from my cell phone. I also love that you can customize motion detection, which reduces unnecessary notifications.I recommend this camera 100%. It is an investment that is really worthwhile for the tranquility and control it offers.

Superior to other popular cameras I have purchased for my home
I have another very popular home security camera brand and compared to that I will say, the Arlo camera was superior.The camera quality is great it captures and NOTIFIES in real time. With my previous camera the notifications were late and lagged, the app didn’t open right away and when I need it to check what’s going on it always fails causing me to just look through the peep hole. The app for this camera has not failed me yet and when I need it to work it does, as requested, every time.The camera lights up at night using a high flashlight, but you can control the brightness on the app as well. You are able to speak into the camera through the app to communicate as well. You can listen and mute also.I stood in front of it with a red shirt and it sent me a possible fire alert which I honestly thought was absolutely amazing and gave me an extra feel of great security I didn’t know I was missing. That is a feature that as a parent, homeowner and just human with a dryer in my home gave me a huge sense of comfort. You do get a free trial to the subscription which is nice to not have to commit right away but instead get a feel and make the decision later. The camera is easy to install as it does come with a stand that you can screw into place in any wall of choice.Great quality at all times and weather.The Arlo home cameras and app are both absolutely reliable and I highly recommend.

Camera’s were great for the first 3 months, after the first time they needed recharging however, we’re lucky to get 2-3 weeks of charge out of them before they go flat again!!
