Great and not expensive cameras to install around your property.

Simple to set up, the batteries charged after a few hours, install took just a few minutes as it's three screws and a QR code to scan to add the camera to the app.
I like that the app has three sensitivity settings and the picture is very clear, good night vision and motion detection, video loads up quickly with great sound as well. Would recommend and buy again.

Sits up on its own.

YALLLL I never heard of this brand until I received this product in exchange for a review. Now one thing about me I'm going to be honest. The camera is a little pricey.
But it is worth it. For one it comes with everything you need to set it up except for like a drill. There's also a tutorial included in the setup booklet.
It is definitely bigger than the regular 2k camera , and has longer battery life.
The the vision on this camera is amazing especially the night
vision.Now my favorite thing about the Arlo cameras is that even tho they say "outdoor"you're still able to sit them up on their own. I have now turned them into baby monitors, my toddler is 2 now so it definitely comes in handy.

I’m honestly so impressed with this camera!

I’m honestly so impressed with this camera!
The video quality is amazing — super clear, even at night thanks to the color night vision. The audio is crystal clear too, and I love that it has two-way talk. If someone comes to the door, I get a notification right on my phone and can speak to them directly through the camera. It’s so convenient and gives me real peace of mind. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a reliable and modern home security system!

The Arlo essential xl was so easy to set up and get live feed quickly. The motion detection is adjustable but can be super sensitive if settings aren't fine tuned. The camera is weather resistant. And the app is so great. You can talk through your camera to people on your porch.

Great security cameras
on February 20, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been looking for a camera for my front porch and I received this Arlo security camera from Infuenster for free to try and review. It's helped me tremendously with keeping an eye on my yard and dogs. I love this camera and I bought another for my daughter and she loves it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to install wherever you want it. Having it set up through my phone is a great plus for when im at work. The motion light is great for light to see, not using my porch light as often.

Well Put Together Product & App
on December 4, 2023
Posted by: matthewsbcac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So using this product for the past month or so has been great. I do like the way the camera can detect motion and additionally tell you if it’s a person. The motion light is very bright and responsive it also seems to still have a charge after I charged it when we got it so battery life seems good too. The app plays well with the camera. Not crazy about a fee to enjoy all the features of security but it is expected. I do really like the camera and my plan on purchasing more.
