Using them for 2 years - very unhappy.
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.
I have Arlo basestation VMB4000 with one camera pro vmc4030 , I wonder if these camera are compatible the basestation vmb4000. Do you have idea?
Quote from Sensei669 :
I worked at Arlo so they gave me these cams for free and I use it for my own home, no issues here. The Arlo Pro1, Arlo Pro 2, Arlo Q, all have free cloud recordings for life! So these are the devices I use. For the newer cameras, there's a way to get free cloud storage but it compromises your privacy since you have to connect to a Dev server not their Production server, so I wouldn't recommend it
According to the base station compatibility list, base station VMB4000 should work.
I have ordered and will be connecting to the same exact base station.
Must be a price mistake, but being honored by Wal-Mart. Normally $99 each. I have been using Arlo cams for the past 3 years without issues. I will hook to an existing base station. I am in on this deal!

General consensus among the reviewers seems to be that the Camera itself is pretty good but support is pretty terrible. Which means, if something happens to your camera you are SOL. Can people with experience chime in on this claim?
Before this deal , I have already have 2 base stations and 5 Arlo cameras with the old base station VMB4000.
Cameras are at least 5-6 years old and running well.

I know if it's stolen they replace it for free if subscribed with a police report.

Yes, I have it setup like this, an old VMB4000 and it pairs with any Arlo camera, even the new ones.
My brother has this set. He has to charge the 2 in the front of the house all the time because passing car and people will activate them. They are a pain to charge because he has to use a ladder to get up there. If you are living in a busy area, plan on a more convenience way to charge them.

Might be worth investing in the solar panel for that location - although I do not have first hand knowledge on how well it works.
