Customers say
Customers find the security camera easy to install, particularly noting it’s simple to mount on wood, and appreciate its excellent picture and sound quality. The functionality and value for money receive mixed reviews – while some say it works well, others report it only works for 6 months, and while some consider it excellent value for peace of mind, others say it’s not worth the price. The battery life is concerning, with customers reporting it only lasts 24 hours, and the WiFi connectivity is problematic, with many reporting poor connections. Motion detection receives mixed feedback, with some praising its effectiveness while others find it pointless.

Good product
Really good. Easy to install and use. App is great. Battery life could be better.
Holmsey from Yorkshire –
XL Lasts about 3x as long as a normal Arlo
Forget about 12 month battery life claims- maybe, in very low footfall areas, if you are lucky. But say on the front of your house, a normal Arlo lasts as little as 2 weeks. This will last a minimum of about 6 weeks before neededing to be recharged. You’ll get months in low footfall areas.Therefore the XL is a huge improvement over the standard Arlo cameras.My advice, dont bother with the 4k- hardly any difference in picture quality and they can use battery more quickly. Get these 1080p XL cameras for the best experience.I now have had Arlo for maybe 5-6 years, and now have 10 cameras all over my house not an inch is not covered lol, but this is because I am gradually replacing the standard Arlo with these XL, and moving the standard ones to other parts of the garden less used, so I have cover where I did not have it before.

The subscription service was kind of crucial if you want the most of it…
The experience was good until the trial of the subscription service ended.Without the subscription,1) cannot view the recorded footage online, unless you are connected to the same Wi-fi network as the camera, can still view live footage anywhere tho,2) the camera would not distinguish what kind of movement it detects, in my case, the steam off my boiler would set the camera off easily unless I tune down the sensitivity of the camera

Disappointed
Iâve bought an Essential 2nd generation 4 set. The moment I tried to linked the cameras to the app, they just didnât exist. However, I did text an agent and they immediately said return the item and upon receiving it we will release a refund.Totally disappointed, now Iâm stuck with a hub that I donât know will work or not. Plus the only option that seems to be compatible is now 3 times the price.Total disappointment

Its does the job no issues
After reviewing the doorbell cameras this one seemed to fit the bill for us, you do have to pay a subscription for the cloud which isn’t too bad for one device. The camera works well, the image is good and the battery has been pretty good too. The app is great the only thing that does seem a bit of a palaver not sure if it is just my phone but when trying to answer the door on your phone (IOS) it seems to be automatically on mute so I have to unmute it.

Brilliant, with a hidden shortcoming!
I got a great deal on this (to the extent I bought a second).There are two aspects to this review – with and without the subscription.It’s probably worth pointing out that I got these for wildlife watching.With SUBSCRIPTIONThere is a high level of customisation.- Manual Alarm- Microphone- Video settings (low light etc)- Activity Zones: Motion detection in a restricted area (so you can exclude areas eg moving trees- Video Recording: Automatic when detected, and you can also set video recording manually. Videos go into an Arlo cloud library and are stored for I think its 48 days (certainly over a month) and are then auto deleted. You can download the stored videos to your local device before they are deleted.- Activity Periods: so you can set it to run overnight but not during the day, for example.- Manual photos, which go directly to your local device- Motion Detection Notifications, which include a snapshotWITHOUT SUBSCRIPTION- Alarm- Microphone. I’ve made great use of this, telling the crows to get off the bird table :)- Video settings (low light etc)- Motion Detection Notifications without snapshotOverall its a great camera. However, had I not been forced to take a 6 week automatic free premium upgrade, I not only would have not got a second one, I probably wouldn’t have even kept the first!Yes, I still love the picture quality, and shouting at the crows.However, the removal of the facility to take a photo directly to my phone really hurts, and I’m pretty peeved about this one as it requires no server space or processing on their part. This is just plain mean.I original got Arlo because it’s part of SmartThings, so I could sit and watch the bird table on our Samsung TV (our landlord has forced us to put it 30ft away in a part of the garden with no overlooking windows) . This was pretty ropey – half the time it wouldn’t connect (fine using phone, so defo SmartThings and not a network issue) .Then when the TV bit the dust and we replaced with an LG, that was SmartThings gone. The LG hasn’t the processing power to run video in its browser, so I have to use Edge on xbox – a pain in the rear.So really, think carefully about what you want long term, and do a full lifetime costing with subscription. I may just end up dumping and getting another brand, simply for the ability to take snapshots of tweets on my phone – cheaper than a subscription!

Absolutely Superb!
I cannot praise this product enough to do justice. I had a poor experience from the first unit purchased from a high street retailer, which was exchange but found the same issue (battery lasted a week) – Arlo support are quick to respond and very helpful. They sent a new one out which had 100% battery on install on 6th August, we are now 12th October and only 10% battery life has been spent. By my estimation, the battery will remain charged well over 12months (if required) – Set up is very easy…. pairing up with my WiFi took no more than 3 minutes – The new Unit ordered from Amazon had 67% battery level so I have now left it on charge before placement. DO NOT HESITATE to purchase this camera at this price point. Arlo is a great Company, and so is this product.

Battery will fail after 2 years and is not replaceable
Battery will fail after 2 years and is not replaceable. Then itâs just a worthless piece of e-waste.

Den är helt värdelös utan deras dyra abonnemang! Den larmar att någonting upptäckts av kameran men du kan inte se något utan abonnemang. Något som inte framgår om man inte lusläser det finstilta.

Très bien

caméras fonctionnelles mais le soucis est la nuit la visibilité n’est pas top, puis il faut prendre un abonnement pour l’enregistrement des images. Pour moi, pas très intéressant ce produit.
