Great camera at a great price

I needed to a as around cameras to my system and found these cameras at a great price. They are not the latest model, perhaps, but they are fine for what I need

High quality monitoring camera

The picture and video quality on the camera is great. I’m a big fan that it runs on rechargeable batteries as well. The battery life varies significantly depending on how much you check it and how you’ve got your motion detection zones set up. That seems to be a much bigger issue outside than inside (squirrels). It’s average difficulty when it comes to the technical set up. There’s a nice little walk thru when it comes time to physically set up the camera that’s handy. The app can also tell whether it’s sensing a person or animal, kinda cool. Overall it’s a good security camera but if you’re using it just to monitor your fur babies it might be a little overkill

I had trouble setting Up account.

Sorry for the delay I was away for two months when the product was delivered. After taking the camera out of the box, I was happy to see that it was a USB-C to recharge

Sorry for the delay I was away for two months when the product was delivered. After taking the camera out of the box, I was happy to see that it was a USB-C to recharge. I started to attach the app on the web browser and it wanted a credit card so I went directly to the App Store And got the app

Great little camera

I’ve been using the Arlo Essential Outdoor Pet Camera 2K (2nd Gen) for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed! The resolution is great, everything looks incredibly sharp, even at night thanks to the excellent night vision. I can clearly see my backyard and keep tabs on my dog during the day and night. The motion detection is accurate without being overly sensitive, and I love how I get instant alerts when there’s movement. The two-way audio is also a great bonus. I can talk to my pup when I’m away reminding them to stay out of trouble. Setup was fast and simple, and the app is easy to navigate. I also appreciate that it’s weather resistant and has held up well during rain and heat. Overall, this camera gives me peace of mind and makes it easy to check in on my pet from anywhere. Highly recommended for any pet parent!

Great product and images

Great image. Easy to setup and use. I have had older generation Arlo cameras and this was the easiest/fastest setup so far. Great resolution even when in a remote

Great image. Easy to setup and use. I have had older generation Arlo cameras and this was the easiest/fastest setup so far. Great resolution even when in a remote area with less than stellar service.
