This is a fantastic product. We were paying high maintenance charges for an old-fashioned burglar alarm which kept giving false alarms when spiders set off the detectors at night. But we were genuinely concerned whether the Arlo cameras would be an adequate replacement, whether we would be able to fit the Arlo cameras to external brick walls ourselves and whether they would work at all with a larger property with very slow and weak WiFi. We need not have worried as everything turned out to be easy and to work well.We love everything about this product especially the geofencing feature which arms all the cameras automatically when we move away from the property and we have set them to come on overnight too. We have the cameras set to detect people and animals and we love checking every morning to see what animals have been detected overnight, mostly foxes and cats in our area so far!One area where Arlo could still improve though is in giving more advice about how high to mount their cameras and how to point them as we had to learn this ourselves by trial and error. This was particularly the case with a camera at the front of the property where it was quite tricky to get it to detect movement in the front of the property but without it being triggered constantly by people or vehicles walking or moving on a public road nearby. We also have hard bricks which are difficult to drill into but it turned out the solution was to drill into the softer mortar between the bricks instead. Some simple videos to advise on such issues would have helped a lot. We also hope that Arlo keep maintaining these products on the market by providing security updates for many years into the future, they owe this to their customers.However we repeat that this is an amazing product and the relatively high initial cost is easily justified by the ease of diy installation, the amazing performance, the very good app and the relatively low monthly cost of monthly cloud storage and we are very happy with our Arlo doorbell and cameras.

We had the first generation Arlo Essential Pro and Doorbell, we moved house and wanted to add, so bought these. Worse mistake ever, battery life rubbish, go offline and have to be at home to get back online. The app used to have a function to do this remotely. No warning to say battery is low, we have to charge ever few days, not like the original ones. Waste of money, don't bother.

This is the second Arlo Pro 5 Security Camera I've purchased in three months not because the first was broke, its because it's good.Very easy to set up, great picture quality and motion detection! I can't fault it!Very easy to install and the charge lasts for weeks and weeks. It's for peace of mind when I'm working or even in the house at night time.Highly recommended.

Pros: Small minimalist design and easy to install. Great picture quality including night vision.Cons: Poor battery life (around 2-3 weeks), even when in battery saving mode and specific zones. App not that intuitive; you have to manually delete saved footage.

Item as described… all good. Thank you

Please do not buy this product. The customer support is non-existent. The product worked well until I changed my 'trusted device' and now I have no end of problems, even accessing the the portal via my laptop does not work and there is absolutely no one to talk to. None of the advice given is up to date. It is so very frustrating - the product is not cheap and with an ongoing subscription you would think you could speak to someone when you need help!

I bought the camera to keep an eye on the front of the house after a spate of local burglaries. It was easy to install on the wall, adjust to get a suitable view, and to pair with my home WiFi network. I have an Arlo subscription so I get detailed alerts, which are great.

The design is elegant and good looking. The app is easy to use. But it requires you must update the firmware before you can really use the cam and this the problem. You’ll never know the update status, there will not be and % of progress. It said will take up to 15 mins bit the cam will turn off after 5 mins and the update will be fail. I tried many times to reset and reinstall it and suddenly succeeded. Otherwise I will return it.
