There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The "FOUR TIMES LONGER BATTERY LIFE" only last about 2 WEEKS with an average of 3 detections a day. My old regular essential outdoor with "REGULAR" battery last about 6 weeks in Chicago winter. Very dissapointed.
Well, I guess, the old essential camera with "REGULAR" battery will be coming back up the front door and this one will be relagated to watching the sump pump in the basement.
If you see a lot of VINE reviews, be wary about the product. Stay away if a company needs to give free products to get a favorable review.
Impressed with battery life. I think they say the XL battery charge may be good for up to a year - yeah maybe with just a couple of short recordings per day. But we probably capture 20-30 minutes of video per day and the battery lasts close to 60 days between charges. The camera is significantly larger and heavier than the Pro2 cams I have at my house - the XL is all battery. Because of the weight, they can't use the magnet mounts - gotta use hard mounts. Battery is not removable/replaceable.
I like the color night vision, but because it requires illumination from the spotlight, they don't see as far as they do when using infrared (IR). We have them set up for Smart Notifcations so we only get alerts when persons are detected (we don't get alerted at 3AM when a cat walks thorugh the yard).
I've had 5 Pro2 cams at home for maybe 4 years now, had to go on a paid plan to add these. That gave me Smart Notifications (which I really like) and 30 days of recordings for up to 10 cameras. It's all been pretty reliable. I added a standard battery Essential camera to my house a few months ago, really just to have a driveway cam with color night vision (the rest are IR). Learned that having at least one color camera in a key location is good so you can get a better description of someone that you may need to report to the police. You can't even begin to guess clothing colors on an IR camera. Depending on the material, black clothes can look white under IR lighting. Dark colored cars can look really light too.
I have a total of 8 Arlo cameras between 2 houses and have been very satisifed.

…..P.S. Buy the solar panel charger to go along with it. Works fantastic! We have lots of sun so charging camera with this is a breeze!!! Camera is up high and with this it basically takes care of itself!! Fabulous!!
They call it "1-Year Battery Life" but mine lasted less than a week! Not reasonable.
You must but subscription, otherwise there is no video storage. And they don't even have a web portal to view / manage it only from smartphone.
