Arlo - Essential Spotlight Camera – Indoor/Outdoor Wire-Free 1080p Security Camera (3-pack) - Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Arlo Essential security camera was easy to install and the camera does not require a hub either. The video quality is superb (1080p) The one feature I feel stands out with this camera is the siren feature that is activated if motion is detected but you can adjust the settings to be alerted and then you can manually sound the alarm because no one in your neighborhood wants to hear loud alarms in the middle of the night when the raccoons are looking for dinner in your trash bins. Installation was rather easy and the set up in the app has all the prompts and images to help you along the way. The camera works well with Alexa but for Google users works with Google Assistant as well. The two-way talk feature is nice not sure I will use this feature as much other than to warn raccoons to stay out of the trash. Fortunately I have not had to sound the alarm but it is nice to know that the option is available as I feel most would think twice if they heard an alarm go off when they were walking up to your house. The Arlo Essential Camera is a welcome addition to our home as I work nights and my wife and kids feel safer knowing that I can monitor our home when they are sleeping and it is a good deterrent for any late night unwanted visitors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera was so difficult to get going.  I spent hours trying to get this to work, it wouldn't connect.  I charged completely and tried several more times to get it to connect with no success before giving up.  It just kept disconnecting or not stay connected.  I'm not familiar with the Arlo brand prior to this but have seen advertised in stores.  There's no troubleshooting support and no info that accompanied the product on utilizing the arlo smart features.  Also I there was supposed to be a 3 month included trial that came with camera. However,  there wasn't.   I wouldn't recommend. 

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To start things off the camera was really easy to set up, all that I did was connect it to my internet and hooked it to my wall. The images and videos are clear so I can see what is going on. It has caught things from my kids playing, my dog, to a neighbors cat. The light will also come in handy too (if any intruders ever come). The sound is also really good I can hear what happens like conversations that are nearby. It really makes me feel safe, and another neat thing is that if I'm away it sends notifications to my phone if it detects anything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera is easy to install, easy to set up and for some is easy to understand how to use. Its weather resistant so it works great as security such as on a patio, deck or porch and gives good clear video.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wasn't sure how well this thing would actually work but I read a few reviews n such before even taking it out of the box. So many positive comments. It does originally make comment about paying for an added service which will be awesome if needed. But it does offer great service all on it's on. Being able to monitor without others really knowing it. We just purchased our home and have a few areas we want to monitor. The fact that it can be there, not seen easily, and has a night vision feature is perfect. It's clear, motion sensors and so far easy to use. So many benefits!
