Arlo Pro 4 - Wireless Home Security Camera System (2 Camera Kit), A

I’ve been purchasing Arlo products for the last 2 years. Out of all the wireless home security systems currently available, Arlo takes the cake.Here’s why:- Their cameras, housings, batteries, and mounts specifically with the Pro 3, Pro 4, Pro 5S, Ultra, and Ultra 2 cameras are interchangeable.- The magnetic charging cable included with these cameras work seamlessly and do not wear out like typical chargers that plug in which eventually become wore out.- Customer service is available immediately through the Arlo app if you have an issue with installation or connection problems. The majority of the issues is because of your internet connection, so check that first.- If you purchase brand new cameras and one of them is faulty in the kits, contacting Arlo to get ... MoreI’ve been purchasing Arlo products for the last 2 years.

The Arlo Pro 3, Pro 4, and Pro 5S have a 160 degree field of view, and these are adjustable through the Arlo app.Some improvements I’d suggest Arlo take note of:- I’d like to see the Arlo Ultra 2 with similar improvements like the the Pro 5S cameras, which include dual-band WiFi, better battery life, and the ability to connect to internet without a Smarthub. Currently the Arlo Ultra 2 cameras need to be connected to a Smarthub to work. But this also has an added benefit because the Smarthub allows you to store footage locally without an Arlo Subscription plan. Everybody likes free stuff.On the last note, anytime I’ve been asked which wireless system to go with, I always suggest Arlo. So if anyone complains that they do not like their products for whichever reason, or they are not working properly, or the batteries don’t last long, it’s because they’re not aware that many of these issues are user error. Battery life and features are all adjustable through the app.These cameras have so much technology packed into one tiny unit that when used properly, crushes the competition easily. When you’re using these cameras at their fullest capacity, the value you get is well worth the price.

I picked this model of camera as it would work on my wifi and it came highly recommended from all of the extensive research that I did. After having them working for one year I have a list of problems that they have.1) The quick change battery only works for the first few Changes and is very difficult unless you remove the entire camera from its mount. The slide mechanism gets very difficult to release.2) These cameras are not meant to work in Canada and should not be sold or distributed in Canada as they do not work past -20c( dont recall seeing that on any packaging)3)There is a long delay in recording no matter what percentage you set the sensetivity at4) I always figured you get what you pay for...not the case with these cameras.. my cheap old Amazon ... MoreI picked this model of camera as it would work on my wifi and it came highly recommended from all of the extensive research that I did.

Unfortunately I have 8 of them and am not sure what can be done as I am past the 30 day return. I have reached out to Arlo support which is on going... hopefully I can up date the end results of this review.

These Arlo cameras have been really good for our New Home. I haven’t had any issues. Detection has been on point. It detects if a person,animal or vehicle have passed by. Very convenient especially when my husband and I both work and are away from home for a couple of hours. The app is very easy to use. User friendly. You can arm and disarm the cameras from anywhere through your mobile phone. Another awesome thing about the Arlo is that, it has a light that will turn on if something is detected. Very awesome tool. Comes in handy at night. The battery to me lasts a very long time. I would say about 3-4 weeks, estimate. It comes with an extra battery, so no cameras will be without one if one needs to charge. Which is awesome. To top it off, you’re able to communicate ... MoreThese Arlo cameras have been really good for our New Home. I haven’t had any issues. Detection has been on point.

And a dog started to bite it wanting to run away with it. So I was able to scare it off by talking through the camera. And sure enough it left!!! :D All in All, great camera to have, planning on purchasing more individual ones to put in different corners.!

Thought these were going to be a nice upgrade/addition to my pro 2 cameras. The ability to review clips via cloud, remotely, and thumbnail shots was great until the 90-trial ended, then you have to pay to have those features; bs. Ended up having to upgrade base station ($60 on sale) so I could record to a flash drive locally. Can’t view those clips remotely without port forwarding which I can’t get to work. Can only view when on home WiFi network, more bs. Would have sought out more pro 2 that offer all these features at no cost had I know. Additionally these do not perform as well as pro 2 in cold and battery wears out faster too. Highly disappointed with this purchase.
I bought a set of these last summer, Aug 2023.Within a month I noticed the battery was draining a lot, and I had to recharge the cameras.Please note, I have had lorex cameras in the past and never had any issues. Charging frequency with lorex was as advertised around 9 ish months.I contacted Arlo, and to THIS date May 2024, they refuse to address my concern.My case was "escalated" a couple times and I thought things were going to be addressed. Just to get a message saying they need to make sure that these cameras do indeed have an issue with the battery. This is even after someone verified that they are draining very fast and needing to be charged every 3/4 weeks.The instructions I received was, charge the camera to 100% and then face it to the wall with no ... MoreI bought a set of these last summer, Aug 2023.Within a month I noticed the battery was draining a lot, and I had to recharge the cameras.Please note, I have had lorex cameras in the past and never had any issues.

This is even after someone verified that they are draining very fast and needing to be charged every 3/4 weeks.The instructions I received was, charge the camera to 100% and then face it to the wall with no motion, if the battery drains in 24 hrs then there's a problem if it doesn't the battery is fine.This makes no sense.Arlo seems to not save any conversation because I have been asked for proof of purchase and address about 3 times.There is zero consistency in the customer service.Very very disappointing!!!Save yourself time and buy something else.
Purchased in July 2022 and had been a great quality purchase until last week. It randomly disconnected (this has never happened before) and we have done everything humanly possible to reconnect - to no avail.Our main modem supports 2.4g and we also have a guest network that does as well. The doorbell suddenly can no longer connect to any of our modems (we haven’t changed any settings since purchase) and we had tried every step the agents told us to do (delete/redownload app, reboot modems, factory reset doorbell) multiple times each. I work in the tech industry and spent two hours trying to set it back up, as it makes absolutely no sense why it cannot connect.The agent said our warranty only covers for a year and so we now have a doorbell that seems fully ... MorePurchased in July 2022 and had been a great quality purchase until last week.

Arlo is a scam. Don’t donate any money to these clowns.- random upset internet guy
The camera has excellent resolution and good zoom, as well as good motion detection. The battery life lasts for 1-2 months depending on use (only using it at night can last up to 3-4 months), the ability to use different operating modes is excellent, and it activates only by motion. Arlo's recordings are also excellent. In my opinion, it has a nice design and useful tracking features. One of the best features of every Arlo camera is intelligence - currently the best in its class. AI Alerts allow you to be notified only of people, animals, vehicles or packages if you wish – or all traffic.You can also configure it to detect sound, which not all security cameras do. And it can tell you if it can also hear smoke alarms, which is a handy safety feature.The option of ... MoreThe camera has excellent resolution and good zoom, as well as good motion detection.

Prior to an Arlo video doorbell, I used a Google Nest video doorbell in the exact same location for 5 years. Network connectivity, night vision worked flawlessly in that time. The doorbell stopped functioning, so I decided to try something new. Big regret.Connectivity: I'm a technical person, and it took me 3-4 hrs to connect the Arlo doorbell to my WiFi (reminder, Nest doorbell worked in same location for 5 yrs). The Arlo doorbell must connect while your phone is on a 2.4 GHz freq of your network. This might be easy for some, but if your phone or WiFi router does not have option to force 2.4GHz, it's not a simple process to get this connection done. I had to unplug 2 of the 3 mesh access points, walk far away outside to the farthest access point until my phone ... MorePrior to an Arlo video doorbell, I used a Google Nest video doorbell in the exact same location for 5 years.

I had to unplug 2 of the 3 mesh access points, walk far away outside to the farthest access point until my phone was on 2.4, then walk back towards house and hope I can get the camera connected. If not, Repeat.Night Vision: It never worked since day 1. I tried all the basics, disabling/enabling night vision, resetting it etc. After 3 hrs on phone troubleshooting, and 8 email 'case updates over 11 days, Arlo eventually offered me to ship it back (my shipping cost) to get a replacement. I had a fully black doorbell. They replaced it with a white one. Ugg. Installed, same issue. Night Vision still does not work. There's no camera reflection, no windows and at worst, a few tiny lights are visible in the image from house across the street. I'm now back to 3-4 email exchanges to "Update my Case".Customer Support: They send regular emails where they want me to "Update your case" and they sometimes ask for screenshots, videos etc. I provide all the requested info within 2 days. The first email is from person A and says if there's no reply in 7 days, they'll close the case. Even tho I reply within 2 days, I then get another email which suggests I haven't replied yet, from person B saying if there's no reply in 5 days, they'll close the case. Then, person C warns me it will close in 4 days, etc. Each time they email me, I reply. I now know the names of about 12 people in their support group, and none of them seems to talk to each other or refer to the notes in my case. I've had to repeat so much info.Even though I've provided everything they've asked for, they're now asking for a longer list of items such as my router model, network topology, cell phone model (!) and once again, screenshots and details previously provided. The doorbell camera works fine during the day. This is not a WiFi/Router/Network Topology issue. I'm getting the runaround and I totally regret paying for a yearly subscription. Feel like I'm locked in.Even if they sent me a free product and subscription in the future, I wouldn't use products from Arlo.
I have never been this disappointed with an electronic item I bought. This is not just a review specific about Arlo 4 cameras but the fundamental problem with Arlo system in general. Arlo camera with hubs won’t work at all if you have 2.4 ghz wifi (who doesnot have right) issue is Arlo hubs use that spectrum to communicate apparently and can’t manage the conflict. This makes the hubs useless and with out monthly paid plans your cameras becomes worthless and won’t able able to recorded anything just the live feed. Now even if you put these cameras on the wifi they are slow response and they every to start showing the vdos including for the doorbell cameras. These production are build to work with paid monthly plans and not with hubs.
Been using for almost 2 years now. The only thing good about this system is the video quality. Then everything else brings Arlo down. My main beef with this system is not being able to consistently connect to the cameras from the app. Sometimes it works then it doesn’t… I will get a “buffering/loading” wheel while trying to connect then the app just gives up. Will have to either restart the camera or remove/reinstall for it to work again. Next is the delay. Had an intruder in my backyard. By the time I received the notification to help the police, he was gone. And the recording prematurely stop recording his motion so we couldn’t even tell where he went. Oh, and one of the cameras didn’t want to connect after just viewing through it. Next, if you want to use the ... MoreBeen using for almost 2 years now.

Oh, and one of the cameras didn’t want to connect after just viewing through it. Next, if you want to use the smart notifications, and recordings, get ready to pay a monthly fee. To use this system, it’s $12.99 per month currently. Next, they advertise the batteries will last about 3-6 months on a charge… NOPE. I was having to recharge every 1-2 months, sometimes earlier. Maybe if I set the camera quality/feature all the way down and turn smart notifications off I’d get that but then what’s the point. Spent extra money on the solar panels and cables just to keep the cameras on. What a pain. I even bought the wired doorbell to compliment this purchase… same problems minus the charging issues. In addition, one of the cameras has a buzzing/static noise issue when on/recording. All my cameras are under eves and patio and don’t get dirty or wet when raining. No direct sunlight, prime location and good WiFi connection. Why the spotty connecting. System/app is too buggy and not reliable. Do yourself a favor and get a wired/local system.
