thanks for this. I think the cameras a great but tech support is pretty weak. How do I turn off the lights. they seem to drain the battery.

You provided a good review. Based on my issues with the ARLO Pro4 Camera System I hesitate to purchase the new system. The Arlo solar panels do not last. I purchased 4 for my 4 cameras and three have failed after a little less than 3 years. The cameras are do not hold up when there is a temperature change. After about 1 year they fog up at night. I have tried everything recommended short of replacing the cameras. If I have to replace the cameras then I might as well replace the whole system, which I am looking into.

These cameras are great! Cheap and reliable. They don't miss a beat, are easy to install, and the batteries last and last. It is the kind of product you install, and forget about it because it works as expected.

Awesome review!!, you actually show what it looks like with person walking around in day and night! Instead of just landscape, like some videos I watched, I have Arlo doorbell and it switches from color footage to Black and White footage randomly at night with porch light right above it that comes on at night automatic, so that is completely accurate, but most important in review for me is what it looks like with person walking around, that is the why security cameras are for, not the unpacking whats included or how to set up, 30 min video and 15 mins spent on this, just show the footage like you did, Thank you sir.

can you please show how this camera would connect to an Apple HomeKit solution? We would want to retain recorded video for LE purposes if possible

[StaceyAmour]

Great video bro. Explained what I was looking for

[lozno]

How much do the battery last on this cameras? How often do I need to reach and take the battery off to put to charge? Looking to put these on top of a roof

[bignick]

Keep in mind you can’t use the AI features with the solar panel only with constant power connection your better off buying the 30 foot outdoor charging cable

I live in MI winters, gets cold here, below zeeo. Id liike something wireless, no subscription, low lag/delay between when sensor picks up the objects and starts to record and sends notification, long battery life, no false alerts/detections when leaves blow in the wind etc. I've had Blink outdoor cameras, and they were junk on every level. Will these cameras live up to my goals?

I'd like to delete the many, many useless videos this camera has taken but when I use "manage events" and hit delete the video seems to go away then comes back like a bad penny. How can I delete videos? We're on the verge of returning the cameras.

My dad bought this setup and had issues with the magnetic charger changing the camera with the solar panels that came with his kit. He bought the kit from Sam's club. Has anyone else had issues with the magnet charger?

I just bought some tapo cameras which don't require a subscription, record 24/7, in 2k and have onvif and rstp, as well as on board storage and was wondering how much better the video looked for a camera that costs about 5x more.. and tbh it's about the same, I think the night shots are better w/ the tapo cams. I had arlos in 2017 and thought they'd be blowing away the tapo cam but man am I disappointed in what they're offering.

[tatonglee]

Thanks for the review, I am looking to get Pro 5 for indoor and I am wondering how long is the recording? Can the cam keep recording until my kids left the room?

[njwags]

If I choose to have my videos saved to a microSD, will I still get alerts on my phone and/or the clip?

[alreaud]

There are so many issues... The big one for me is internal corrosion that they won't warranty and double charging on purchases. If you like stress and dissatisfaction go ahead and purchase an Arlo.

How do I removed the ball joint? I have the Pro 4 and want to get an after market mount for it

[bearmeister]

Not impressed. Just purchased this camera and like many others on the market it seems too "delicate" and only states weather "resistant" not weather "proof". The camera itself is not bad, but the mount is awful and clumsy for the cost. We also opted for the solar charger and it seems to work OK so far. Frankly, we have been using RING for years and it is far superior to this camera for what we paid for it (RING flood light pro ~$250, Arlo 5 pro with solar charger ~$230). Much better quality with the RING cameras and their mounting systems are not flimsy and cheap. The picture on our RING seems better as well, even with the zoom in the Arlo. Just not impressed with the Arlo and will be returning ASAP. This is just my opinion and experience with the Arlo, I'm sure it works well for others...

Arlo's customer service is aweful never buy this product.. I have never found something worse in my 30 years of buying technology products. Even after paying 1500 for equipment and 20/month for their subscription, they did a software update that took down my 4 cameras, have recovered 2 and have spent 7 weeks trying to speak to someone. You can only communicate through leaving a message on a web type form page, they keep saying the same robotic things. They don't read the problem and it goes on and on and on. There is no phone number since the service is in India. You can't speak to anyone. They say they will phone you and don't. It is aweful. We are now going to take them to small claims court to get our money back. The product BTW, we had the first generation that they shut down to start their subscription product so then rebought all second gen, has to be reset a min 2x a year for something going wrong. This was before our 2 dead cameras.

Lots of weird comments here. I’ve been using Arlo products since 2014 with no issues
