Reviews around customer support (4.13 of 5)

  • So if you expect good customer support this is NOT your product.
  • Their hardware is hit or miss.. and customer support is sometimes dismal and aggravation to the max
  • In what reality is it appropriate for the default position of a security system to be DISARMED and for customers to not be informed when the system fails?Calling customer support is a total waste of time because the person barely speaks English and understands very little
  • If you can weed through the hit or miss hardware and the not so great customer support
  • I contacted Arlo customer support to answer some of my questions

Reviews around power (1.54 of 5)

  • Keep in mind, if you lose power and do not have a backup, well, you lose your system as well.

  • Sure, running power is a pain, but the camera system is AMAZING.
  • cameras work fine, I would like to see some better power options - a larger auxiliary battery for example.
  • ,Now Amazon says as i bought it from the US site this is what i get as i should have use the Amazon Australian Web site.no offer to replace it with the correct Power Adapter,Not Happy
