Reviews around setup (4.40 of 5)

  • n’t have this problem, so it isn’t a location issue.
  • If you're the kind that wants to buy peace of mind, don't necessarily need accurate recordings, and will not be manually checking your cameras (AND need fairly easy setup), then buy it... but this does not seem worth it to me at all.

Reviews around feature (4.03 of 5)

  • n’t have this problem, so it isn’t a location issue.
  • For outdoor cameras, that was an important feature for us,
  • Overall the two main important features was to have a good picture and reliable use of the phone app
  • The system was easy to install, everything works as it should
  • I am still working with support to get the cameras to be online, and have them working to show battery life, as well as send me notification of when battery life is low (usually it sends a message to you at 15%).

Reviews around app (3.78 of 5)

  • Great Picture - Negative: Terrible App interface which continuously crashed and made it impossible to reply out
  • Extremely easy to set up and the app is very easy to work as well
  • We love the app and find that the cameras are extremely easy to use
  • The app is easy to use but to get all the features available you have to subscribe and pay a 10 dollar monthly fee
  • The app is very easy to use and you can set the sensitivity on each cam.

Reviews around quality (3.68 of 5)

  • What I got was very poor quality video and 10 second recordings that were usually well after movement occurred
  • Its a great product for what it costs, good quality video, decent battery life
  • Wish I could get a refund!Cameras work well pretty good photo quality but the batteries provided are crap- 2 of the 5 cameras already need new batteries.. if your going to order you should order back up batteries because the ones provided are crapola!
  • When compared to Defender cameras, the Arlo have a much better picture quality, MUCH BETTER
  • Very good quality of video and photos on the cameras both night and day

  • Great Picture - Negative: Terrible App interface which continuously crashed and made it impossible to reply out
  • When compared to Defender cameras, the Arlo have a much better picture quality, MUCH BETTER

Reviews around tech support (3.04 of 5)

  • So frustrated, I called tech support on a weekday afternoon
  • n’t have this problem, so it isn’t a location issue.
  • Then after a power outage, it took support over two months and about 20 some tech support messages along with 2 tech support phone calls (with them taking over my computer to see for themselves on one of the phone calls, maybe should have done that first instead of last?) to finally replace the base station.
  • So frustrated, I called tech support on a weekday afternoon
  • I've read through tech support forums saying this is common with the Pro version but not for the original (which I have.)The scheduling software is easy to use.

Reviews around battery (1.56 of 5)

  • Rechargeable batteries slowly lose life all together as well
  • I am still working with support to get the cameras to be online, and have them working to show battery life, as well as send me notification of when battery life is low (usually it sends a message to you at 15%).
  • Two of my 5 camera's kill the batteries every two days, and they are one year old
  • I still have 2 more, that drain batteries after a couple of weeks
  • Except that the 80% batteries they come in with would die after 1-2 days of operation

Reviews around time (1.38 of 5)

  • , If you plan on recording all day ( but no wires!!!)•Cloud only solution (If you are privacy minded) I have recorded myself scratching my ass a few times
  • I can pull the cameras up on my phone and watch live videos of what's going on around my house (however, this does drain the batteries every time you do this) or watch the saved videos in the library, which are 10 second clips
  • I spoke to a guy who had no clue what he was talking about, wasted my time
  • That's when I said, "how valuable is my time

Reviews around motion detection (1.00 of 5)

  • I setup the cameras in various positions(garage, back door, front door) but the motion detection was very slow to initiate recording.
  • THE MOTION DETECTION OF THESE CAMERAS IS BASICALLY USELESS
  • The motion detection has a 2 second delay before it records, so you end up with "backs of heads" and people almost out of frame
  • The negatives are mostly slight except the one problem, motion detection lag.
  • Motion detection won't work on half the cameras so it never records anything
  • Read remaining 9 reviews for motion detection

Reviews around know problem (1.00 of 5)

  • The cameras will commonly disconnect from the base station and show "offline" you can link them up again easily but the known problem is they lose connectivity within a day or two and will completely drain the battery if you have it set to record
  • The failures were all A known problem as found on Netgear message boards and the Netgear chat agent told me the problem was known and documented yet they refused to exchange the camera that fell outside of the warranty
  • This is a known problem with this model.
