Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera + Solar Panel (4 Cameras + 1 Solar Panel)

Old outdated technology but at a great price! Bought this camera set to monitor sump pump and interior of home. I have the Arlo Ultra 2 camera set which has removable batteries for quick replacement and magnetic cord attachment. The Essential has neither and uses the micro usb connection. Lower resolution camera set okay for what I need. Easy installation like the Ultra 2's.

The quality island the features are immaculate.I was concerned that you would have to be right up on the camera for it to activate. However, the one at my front door picks up every time my neighbor across the street leaves home as well as the garbage man because those 2 vehicles stop in front of my house. I love that the notification tells me if it is a person, vehicle, or animal so I'm not alarmed every time it goes off.

Liked everything about the arlo but never could get it to work with my Starlink network. I researched and researched but everything I tried would not work. So after about 3 weeks of fighting it I gave up and returned it and purchased a Blink. Waiting on it to come in and will see how it will work with Starlink.

Amazing picture and sound quality. This was a good price for these cameras 4 was more than I needed but this package was cheaper then 3 cameras and no solar panel at other stores. So far in the crazy wind, snow and freezing rain they have been amazing. One day when it was really sunny however it kept going off from the sun.

System is very good and overall fairly easy to set up. Takes a little patience but works great once it connects. We have one camera that doesn't hold its charge very well, but the rest last quite a long time. Overall, we love it for the added security.
