Arlo Essential Security Camera 2K | Outdoor-Indoor | 2nd Gen | Wireless with Spotlight, 2-Way Audio, Color Night Vision, Live Stream, Motion Activation, Real Time Notifications - White, 2 Camera

I love these cameras great quality clear pictures love their wireless. Sometimes sound cuts in an out a the battery drains to quickly depending on the weather. Their extremely easy to set up as well install a mount anywhere u want an have a very bright motion light. When I bought them the price was cheaper then they r now just a lil to high on price range. An the free recordings to them should last a lot longer then what it dose before u pay $100 for 60 days of recording

These Arlo 2K cameras exceeded my expectations. The video quality is excellent, even at night thanks to the color night vision. Motion detection is fast and the notifications arrive almost instantly. I also appreciate that they are fully wireless, which makes installation super easy.

There is some combination of settings I use in their app that will brick these cameras permanently with no ability to factory reset. I haven't figured out which combination of settings it is, but it seems that it might just be safer to keep the cameras at their out-of-the-box settings if you want to avoid bricking the product. This is garbage coding by the manufacturer. It's easy enough to return a new one, but you are out of luck (and money) if you brick an older one. Pretty cool business model to place a trap door in your firmware code that forces people to buy your product again. EDIT: figured out the trick to re-syncing these when you get stuck with the blue light long flash. What's happening is that when you have gone into the app and removed the camera, it can no longer connect to your wi-fi. The issue is that it is STILL creating and trying to upload recordings nonetheless. When you go to perform the reset and reconnect steps they wont work because you are handling the camera and generating new recordings by creating motion. The trick is to: 1. Make sure the camera is fully charged. 2. Set the camera on a shelf in a well-lit room, facing a static scene like a wall or at objects that will have no motion from things like shadows, movement or lights being turned on/off. Leave it here for whatever amount of time it needs to complete trying to record/upload. Wait until the long blue light flash stops plus some time for good measure. 3. Press the pair button on the camera for 3 seconds but do so while holding the camera perfectly still and not generating a shadow in the view of the camera - all of this while facing the static scene you created. This should give you the fast blue light flash we need. 4. start the "add device" process in the app. 5. the add device process will tell you this device has been previously paired and needs to be reset. 6. press the pair button on the camera again, this time for 15-20 seconds (or until you see an amber light flashing) - again, hold the camera perfectly still. 7. Wait until the amber light stops flashing, then press the pair button again to get the fast blue light flash. 8. tell the app to attempt to connect to the device again. This time the app should find the camera. 9. in my case, the app froze when attempting to name the camera. If this happens, close/terminate the app. Re-open the app and go into the settings for the camera you just successfully added. It will have an error message that "onboarding must be completed", click that and complete the rest of the setup if necessary. What a farce. This company needs to fire their developers and bring on new people to improve this code/logic.

This bundle from Arlo is such a great value! I already owned an Arlo Essential indoor camera and was very happy with it, so I decided this bundle would be perfect for monitoring the rest of my home. All of the cameras are very easy to set up and the app is easy to navigate. The indoor camera is small and can be placed anywhere. You can adjust the angle to fit your needs and I love the privacy screen. I only like to use my indoor camera when I am not at home, so rather than having to completely turn off the camera I can just close the security screen and not have to worry about getting notifications every time someone moves in the room or feel like we are being watched all the time. The video and audio quality are really great on the door bell camera. You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection. The battery life is pretty good, it was about 2 months after set up when I needed to recharge it. The video quality on the outdoor camera is fantastic day and night. It’s storm season where I live and I was concerned about how this camera would withstand the heavy rains and I am happy to report that it is still doing great! If you are looking for an easy quality home security set this one is fantastic!

The Arlo Essential 2K delivers crisp, clear video (up to 2560×1440) and a wide 130° field of view — detail is generally sharp during the day, and its color night vision + built-in spotlight help a lot for nighttime monitoring.  Setup was straightforward, and I appreciated how easy it was to mount and run without wiring, making it flexible for indoor or outdoor use.  Two-way audio and motion alerts round out the package nicely for basic home monitoring.  The main downside: without a subscription plan, there’s no cloud storage — so recorded video may not be accessible. Battery life is generally decent (a few months under light-to-moderate use), but frequent motion detection or spotlight use can shorten it.

Arlo cameras are good and very reliable. It’s internet connection does not get disconnected easily.

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!!

It’s a bit slow sometimes but love it so far

Took 3 weeks to get to me 2 weeks longer than anticipated and previous Arlo order and I my car as broken into infront of where the camera was due to be positioned 2 days before I got it
