User reviews

Doesn’t always work. Will go days without able to view.

Night time is not clear even with light outside. Not sure where to ask for my concerns.

Arlo

I have two cameras that won’t connect to the internet

Worst

Would not recommend it

Does not work. Tried all angles

The cameras show motion, show no images when no motion. Says off line on both cameras.

Been working on it all day.

Just my opinion

I think the camera part works well… but it doesn’t start recording soon enough. You miss a lot and it’s will stop recording every when the moment is still happening so you will miss chunks of time when it should be continuously recording. Wish it was a little bit more intuitive as well… to lean the difference between not recording when the wind blows the branch but recording when a car comes down the driveway.

Up date:
I have now had the cameras up for over a month. One camera now has become disconnected and now it will not reconnect to the app anymore.
Do not recommend this to anyone!

Newer up date:
I have had these cameras for multiple months now. And they can’t tell the difference between animal, vehicle, and person movement. A tree may blow in the wind but the camera will alerts and say it’s a person or vehicle or whatever. It’s not a smart device.
