Arlo Ultra 2 Security Camera Outdoor, 4K UHD, Wireless CCTV, 6-Month Battery, Colour Night Vision, Weatherproof, Bright Spotlight, 2-Way Audio, 2 Cam Kit, Arlo Secure Trial Included, Black

Ive had Arlo cameras for a while now. I decided to upgrade to their newest version. Although they are expensive I found the quality extremely good. The Picture quality has improved massively since their earlier versions. The tracking feature is very handy, as it tracks a person and zooms in on them automatically. The only drawback is the battery life, Arlo make big claims, but I found with the most common settings turned on, the battery drains a lot quicker than expected. I also bought separate batteries and charger this allows quick battery changes when needed. I would buy again.

I've used this camera for several months now. Recently someone on a bike broke a window in a car on my driveway and the camera did not record it at all. The camera sometimes misses to activate, e.g. when someone is riding a bike, it activates only sometimes. Other issues with the camera: * The 6-month battery life works only if you aim the camera at some place where nobody goes. I live on a small dead-end street, and with the very low traffic, when I set up the camera to watch the street, it survives maybe 3 days on a single charge. * HomeKit integration does not work at all. It supposedly supports HomeKit integration, but it never finishes setup. * The base station can store video, but only one person can view this video on their phone. I shared the access to cameras with my wife, and she cannot access it on her phone. If she logs in using my account on her phone, then the app logs me out on my phone and I don't receive notifications anymore. * The camera takes about 2s to activate. With some cars driving on my street it starts recording when the car is exiting the view. I am very disappointed in this product. Many reviews on the Internet say this is one of the best security cameras, but I don't understand how this is possible. Image quality alone is useless if the camera doesn't record what it was made for.

This kit came with all the necessary instructions to set it up easily. There is an Arlo Hub that connects to your router with a short cable. Each of the cameras connects wirelessly to that hub. We located the cameras around our property and although we did have to re-site our router to ensure all the cameras could ‘see’ the hub it didn’t take very long to get good signals from each camera. Each of the batteries with the kit did have some charge in them so we were ‘up and running’ on day one. Shortly after the installation we bought two additional batteries and a double charging unit. So far, the batteries have lost about one third of their charge in 7 weeks since the last full charge. We have now set up an account with Arlo and pay the monthly subscription. The quality of the video is superb. In daylight you can zoom in to an amazing level of detail. At night the lights on the cameras are activated and the short video with this review shows our front garden with one of our nightly visitors – Mr Fox. The microphone on the cameras also works well and we have used it to speak to delivery people while we were out of the country.

I'm running 8 of them and about to get 4 more as each station seems to be handling 6 feeds without problems. The bad first: It's extremely expensive for what it is. NO CVR UNLESS IT'S PLUGGED IN THE MAINS & YOU PAY A SUBSCRIPTION. On top of the OTHER subscription which gives you basic movement detection and the like... that's outrageous. Furthermore, unlike the competition's products, you only get 30 second 'clips' that vary wildly in quality. Because the cam's motion detectors do not always activate fast enough, forget about using this for wildlife and the like. It runs VERY HOT when plugged in, too, and the options feel more like a 'gimmick' than useful (package detection, really?). Finally, the battery last 2 weeks max when recording at 4k in a semi-busy area (think landing of your house with 5 inhabitants). So why buy this at all? Well, outside of "build your own", it's the only solution where easily moved 'hub' stations will de-saturate your existing wifi and allow you to place cameras ANYWHERE without having to worry about your main infrastructure. They will also auto-recognize each other and yes, you can have a theoretically infinite amount of cameras. That's essentially the reason why you're buying this anyways - you don't have wifi coverage where you need it to stick a nest in. There's something VERY nice about being able to grab a camera that was left on a desk and temporarily move it out to the front garden to capture 'what is that noise' you hear every night at 3am (it's a fox, by the way). A big plus I haven't tried is some sort of DAS storage option but I'm not sure how it fares on multiple stations. As for quality, 4k means 4k and the FOV is really, really wide without too much fish eye, which is GREAT. It's definitely a niche product for those that can afford it, but if you live in a house that's quite spread out, without wanting to drill and re-paint each wall to connect to the mains, it's also your only option as of August 2022.

Le tele materie in 4K sono fantastiche e macoli da installare e da fissare….una pecca…. Le batterie durano poco (nel mio caso ne ho 4 ….. 2 che fanno pochi rilevamenti durano 2/3 mesi mentre quelle che sono più sollecitate dura un mese ….ho optato per 4 pannelli solari per caricarle

Battery last 3 days (not advertised 3 months) if all features are enabled. Have since purchased the Arlo Solar Panel and the battery is still draining at an alarming rate. Admittedly we live in the northern climes (NL) but it’s September and I’m seeing little change in battery performance with or without the solar panel.

It was pretty easy to convert from my old camera housing and battery to this. The camera takes the new longer battery perfectly, and I just had to take down the old mount that's screwed into my house and screw in the new longer housing and pivot bracket. Then aligning the camera was easy. I usually get frustrated with items, but this was easy. I do actually recommend this. I hope it helps someone.

Estamos muy contentos con el sistema y con la calidad de la imagen. Es la segunda tanda que compramos

Produktinformationen är bristfällig från Arlo i avseendet att den här enheten kräver en basstation, då den inte kan kopplas direkt mot molnet. Arlo är också undermåligt, när det gäller hur man sätter upp geofencing tillsammans med Schema. Jag fick betydligt bättre hjälp, genom att konsultera CoPilot än att söka svar på Arlos supportsidor. Produkten är annars i grunden väldigt bra.
