1. Every couple months hub will just stop working and need to be power switched
2. camera quality are sub par - cann get a clear picture of the porch pirate's face
3. worst one - the app is horrible. From the moment you get notification that someone is on your front porch (notification is almost instant - good) you will need 20 seconds before you can get live feed from camera on your phone. And that's on fast WiFi connection. And only if app works at all - often (every couple days) it just won't work - no recordings, won't play recordings, thumbnail preview on camera can be few weeks old
4. speaking something from camera speaker - plus another 10-15 seconds if it will work at all.
I'm so pissed with them. There is only thing they do good - giving you a recording of someone stealing your package while you deprerately trying to make app work.
Screw that chinese crap.

Whats going on with these cameras?
I have an older arlo camera and I get 7 days and motion alerts for free, so I'm hoping this is the same way
Aren't these outdoor cameras from eu.fy fine as long as the cameras points away from your house?

I use to have an Arlo Pro (1080p) setup at my house and my ex's place (both outdoors only). We set it up so we can see each other's cameras and alerts. We share 3 kids (and yes, we get along great… for the sake of the kids). They were good daytime cameras and mediocre at best at night. But it served its purpose.
Anyways, we started having problems with our Arlo after about a year. Many times the cameras wouldn't record or send alerts when objects were moving in view of them. Cameras suddenly were no longer showing up in the system… then her base station suddenly disappeared from the app. Kept having to reset the system. It was pretty frustrating.
Decided to replace the Arlo. Looked at multiple different systems… Blink, Nest, Eufy, etc. The Eufy 4K system was on sale on Amazon. Bought it and set the systems up at mine and my Ex's. The Eufy is wasaaayyyyyyy better than the Arlo that we had. Day AND night video feeds are way better. More consistent picking up objects and sending alerts. Added the Doorbell and Floodlights. No need for subscription service if you only need the last 7 days of videos saved. The Doorbell changes the outdoor Chime depending on the holiday season. For example, on Halloween, when you press the button, instead of the standard "ding dong", the doorbell let out a scream. Trick or Treaters loved it.
I'm sure there are many who love their Arlo System. I just had bad luck. I'm also sure people like their Nests and Blinks… but after 2 years, I'm super satisfied with my Eufy System.
P.s. I had the Arlo before they required a subscription service… when it was free. Not sure if there's a free service for Arlo.
