This device was really needed. Was trying to capture a family member who sleep walks. This was well worth the money. The product works well and is very liable.

Great features!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera was easy to set up and install and the app is also very user friendly. I appreciate the spotlight feature and also the picture and video quality is very clear, even at night. I have peace of mind with this camera.

Great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was pretty easy to set up. It only took me a little longer than I thought, because I had to buy a new drill. But once I was able to set it all up, it worked great. My husband feels safer now being able to see people coming up to our house, it gives us a nice sense of security knowing what's going on outside, while we are inside or not even home.

Good image quality
[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.

Great garden cam!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this camera to see what was getting into the garden and eating my plants at night. And man it worked great! I was able to catch the thieves in action. Now I have it mounted by my door and it's working great for seeing when things are delivered or to see who is knocking. For both applications the notifications have worked well. Picture is clear and the battery has been lasting a long time. All and all a great camera.

Great Features!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a little trouble getting this camera set up but after an online chat with Customer Support it was up and running in no time. This camera has some great features, such as the spotlight, the siren that you can trigger to run someone off, and it's wireless so no cords to deal with. The camera quality is also great both night and day. I love being able to pull up the app and check on things at my home any time while I'm away.

Love this camera!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Spotlight camera works so perfect at my house. Its wireless which made it super simple to set up and get working. All you have to do is plug in the battery to the camera, download the app, make an account and connect it to your wifi. The battery is removable and charges using a plug. The battery doesn't stay charged for as long as it says it will but its not a problem to take down and charge the battery for a few hours. The quality pictures are very clear. Love this camera!

Always watching.
[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.

Great Camera
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great camera!! Easy to set up and use, no wiring required! I’ve always wanted cameras but was intimidated by the wiring. Download the app and hook it up to your WiFi and it’s ready to go!! As easy as that!! Love that it had a spotlight and instant notifications from your phone. Crystal clear pictures in real time and recording! Highly recommended!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really nice camera on this little device! I was honestly surprised at how crispy and clear the picture was. Set up and install was also a breeze! I love that you can pull it up in the app and check it on the go! Kudos to a well designed product.

Fantastic quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is super simple to get set up. The two way sound is a great feature for all sorts of detection. The video for both light and dark are excellent quality too. You can see strong detail in both settings. I still need to test distance but so far the video range is adequate. Also, the installation is very simple!

Nice setup.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say it was a breeze to setup, being my first time using a wireless security camera. I have no complaints so far about battery life after 72 hours it still shows 97%, with that being said I wouldn't suggest using this type of camera in a high foot or traffic area like a front porch I can see the battery drainage would be faster. The image quality is great. The only downside I've notice is the slight lag in live feed. Overall a nice product.

Cutest and dependable unit
[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!

Great Quality!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is so sleek and lightweight. The set up and installation were really simple. You just have to download the free app and follow the simple instructions- it took a few minutes tops to get it up and running. Installing the camera is also so simple. It comes with the mounting materials - just pick a spot and put it up. The picture quality is also really great, is weather resistant, and has a long lasting battery. This is a great camera to give you peace of mind and security.

Easy setup
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just finished setting up this Arlo Spotlight camera and couldn't be happier. Package was received a couple of days after ordering. Set up was a breeze. I don't have an Arlo account so this was a quick and painless process. The app walks you thru step by step and I was able to get it all set up and installed in under 30 minutes.

Nice picture day and night
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used ring cameras but recently decided to give this Arlo a shot . I must say that the picture quality and functionality is better . Night vision is better and the spot light is a bonus . Not having to replace a battery’s is also a bonus . I have decided to switch over to Arlo and if you’re thinking about a camera than look no further. Great mobile app , rechargeable , spotlight , clear picture day and night , it has it all .

Nice Clear Picture
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great security camera. The picture is very clear on the app and it was cinch to put up. I love that this camera can be added to the main home such as Google. The motion action works well and picks up everything. The motion sensor light is nice and bright giving a much better picture at night. The light comes on quickly and will help with security as well. The versatility of this camera and the amazing picture makes this a great buy!

Every Home Needs This Camera
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is very easy to install and use. Within 30 minutes I was able to mount it over my backdoor and set up the recording. The camera films in perfect 1080p video that is also in color at night. Sharp images make it easy to identify anyone who sets off the sensor. It’s motion activated and will not set off the alarm for my small dog. I can playback the video on my phone or work computer so I don’t have to worry about my house when I’m not there. The battery will last 6 months before it needs to be charged again. Having this camera outside my home gives me a peace of mind that I didn’t know I was missing.

Awesome
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a awesome camera. It has crystal clear picture, nice sound so you can hear what is going on where you have your camera, you can also talk through the camera to the person that's by it, it also has a alarm you can sound to scare off things or people you don't like around. Set up only took a few minutes to do it was very quick and easy. I love this camera. I also love that when it notifies you it will tell you if it was a person, animal, package, or vehicle that it detected.

Arlo is always good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second experience with Arlo. And it’s as good as my first one! I just moved into a new house and was looking for a new camera. Installation was very simple and quick. Video quality is really good both during the day and night. It picks up movement very well and sends me notification. Battery life so far is beyond great. Would recommend this to anyone looking for security camera wireless.

Excellent quality and superior features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where can I start with how much we love our Arlo. To begin with the installation was fairly easy. My husband did not struggle with any part of the set up. I love the integration of the spot light paired with the superior quality of the camera. I can read the license plates of every car in our driveway. I can clearly see my kid's faces in the driveway at night so if it was a situation of someone unwanted in my driveway, I know I will have the footage recorded that we would need. The spotlight is a great feature, it illuminates my entire driveway and gives me that extra added security that we need. I also could not love the siren feature any more than I do. It could not be more effective for scaring off unwanted guests. truly a great all around product. It fits many needs.

Great combo!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the combination camera and spotlight. I have it over my garage and I’m able to see partially in may garage, both my cars, and my driveway very clearly. There is a bit of a delay but that’s to be expected on WiFi.
Installation was easy and took a total of 30 mins altogether. That includes setting up the app and trying to find the best placement.
The app has been easy to use so far. I’m still working through the modes and programming to make it right for my needs but it’s an easy adjustment. I have the competitor camera as well. I think with the light, I like this one better.
I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone wanting to set up a new home security system.

No wires to hook-up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a small powerful camera that is easy to install. With a charge of 3 hours you have up to 6 months of a fully working camera. There are no wires to hook-up so you can mount it anywhere. It has a high definition camera 1080p for a clear crisp picture. It also has a siren and notification for package deliveries or people who comes on your property. Day or night it works perfectly, I just love price and the functions you get with it.

Easy to set up, excellent picture quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Adding this camera to our network and integrating it with existing camera monitoring systems in it house was simple. The picture quality both in the daytime and at night is clear. Not needing an additional base station and not having any wires is a big plus. I can’t speak to battery life since we’ve only had this running for a few days, nor the camera’s ability to withstand extreme weather as it is currently spring. We’ll see how this unit holds up in 100 degree weather this summer. It seems rugged and of high quality.

Security
[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.

Mixed feelings
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera has great features, like a great picture, easy to use app, ability to listen in and talk back, etc. There are a handful of downsides however. The camera has to be mounted to something, it doesn't stand on its own. And that's fine, except that you have to take it down to plug it in via usb and charge it. So there is some attention you need to give to it, not entirely set and forget.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After I got this, I downloaded the app and tried to set up. It came with a quick set up guide but it didn't help. I have yet to get it to pair up. I have tried several times but I am still running into same problem.
