Arlo Essential 2 HD Video Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, Battery Operated Home Camera With Colour Night Vision, Light, Siren, 2 Way Audio & WiFi, Arlo Secure Free Trial, 2 Cameras, White

Work well.

I brought these cameras as I have a security system with Verisure and brought the doorbell (Arlo) and I thought for added security I’ll buy these so I can access it all on one system. One of the cameras broke, it won’t charge, it won’t turn on, I reached out to Arlo a week ago and I haven’t received a response. Do not recommend.

So simply to set up, quality of the camera is absolutely spot on. Battery life is extremely good and all recordings are crystal clear. The night vision is also crystal clear. Gotta say these are great value for money

I bought this Arlo security camera to complement my Ring doorbell, for our new house. It came in a pack of 2, and setup was straightforward thanks to the clear guide. The cameras are easy to access on my phone, in the app. Both myself and my partner are able to use it, and I placed one at the front to cover areas my Ring doesn’t, and one in the garden. Even with a long and wide garden, the coverage is excellent, and the night vision works very well. Overall, the system works reliably, but I’ve noticed occasional gaps in recording, possibly due to Wi-Fi issues, which could be a concern if an incident occurs while I’m away. Despite this, it’s a solid option for home security and provides peace of mind for everyday monitoring.

This is now the third different brand camera I have tried in as many months around this price point and so far I’m thinking it’s not my last. Pros: - Easy to set up - connects to wifi about 8-10 metres away inside the house (the camera is on my garage) - picture and audio quality is good - no SD card required, still on free trial of cloud service, I don’t know the cost yet of a monthly subscription, if it’s less than £3 for a basic plan that’s fine - categorises detections by person, vehicle, animal and other and you can switch off notifications for the categories you don’t want. This isn’t an important feature to me but might be for some. - battery lasts up to a couple of weeks (beats the 4 days of the last brand I tried!) - can delete unwanted clips unlike some cameras - spotlight is reasonably bright - colour night vision is good quality - app interface is quite good, though not perfect. Cons - less ability to adjust settings than other brands, most clips are way too short (10-15 seconds) and finish before the event is finished, with other brands I could set this to specific time frames like 20, 30, 60 seconds. This is important in my case. - because of the above, the camera can be triggered again immediately if an event is ongoing leading to multiple clips and lots of notifications for essentially what is one event. - fails to detect motion every time. For example one morning it didn’t even catch my partner walking straight past it leaving the house, like it usually does. - way too many notifications! I get multiple notifications for ONE short event usually in quick succession so it sounds like my phone is going off constantly. Can drive you insane. You can mute them but this defeats the point of being alerted to activity. You can adjust motion detection sensitivity but that’s not what I want, I just want it to send one notification per event. Although it has quite a few plus points, the battery life and picture and audio quality being the main ones over some other brands, the negatives are significant enough that I am questioning whether I will keep this camera. I’m leaning towards returning it.

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.

A good system which does what it says on the tin. Mine arrived with about 50% battery on them which was good to test. Battery charging wasn’t a clear process as you don’t see it charging except on the app, until the LED comes on that is, showing fully charged. The app is useful but you have to have a subscription. Reasonable enough as it’s not too expensive although don’t start your subscription until the free trial period ends as it will all be running at the same time. The system is really easy to install and does take pretty much five minutes. It is too soon to really give an in-depth review though as it has only been operational for a few weeks.

Sadly this camera isn't great quality. Its battery drains completely on a daily basis and images are often pixelated or lost all together. I purchased as an add on to my Ultra 2 system, so I'm familiar with the product. I've had an Arlo system without subscription hardwired with a hub for 5 years. I've had 2 Pro cameras that died within 2 years and 3 years. It's not robust. Don't expect to fit and forget, plus they keep changing the leads and connections. They are easy to fit though. Would I recommend... I'm 50/50 on that one. If you can, or you are prepared to, put in a full RJ45 system then that's a far better solution.

Very good quality and price, 2 cameras for 99 e bargain,itll go with my other cameras on my Arlo app.

La luz para vision nocturna es muy potente, quizas demasiado para interiores, resulta un pelin molesta si la quieres utilizar como vigilabebes de noche.
