I used to have arlo about 7 years ago and they were great. I disliked the subscription requirement but otherwise good camera and good software. Really curious to hear other perspective before investing into their ecosystem.
before i forget, make sure you do not have a vpn ON when first connecting your camera-s.
I Like the essential camera, almost like a friend. like it very much.
BUT, Arlo keeps trying to force subscriptions on you. then not easy to cancel them. UNLESS CHANGED: Not easy removing payment methods to stop automatic subscriptions.
the pro spotlight. i yet to figure out how to completely stop the flashing spot lights to notify me about this and that.
Battery life was inconsistent, hence I moved to solar. One cam that recorded say once every two days max and had no IR enabled or anything would die in 30 days. Same exact camera on my garage recording 20x a day would last 60 plus easy. Same exact settings. Super super slow notifications, and bad latency when trying to talk to someone via doorbell. Super frustrating to use overall.
I switched to TP Link Tapo cameras and they are worlds better than Arlo and much better than Ring too. Super happy with my Tapo cams now and they are free to use too. Quick notifications, have been 100 accurate at pets, packages, people and missed nothing getting delivered and picks up everything accurately, cheap cameras, free to use, great image quality, I am very happy and will continue in this ecosystem. Glad I gave them a shot!
I did analog and IP camera setup and install for security purposes for years, hence my username. All wired type systems. Wired may be best, but at home wireless is good enough for me!
