Avoid, unless you enjoy headaches

I was looking a simple security camera system for my house. I searched a few different web sites, checked out some reviews, and basically tried to do my homework. In the end I decided to go with this Arlo system.
It was easy enough on the initial set up. Getting the cameras into the location I wanted was a snap. So far so good, then the problems.
First issue, I have the front door camera pointed down my walk way and can see the street. My walkway is 23 feet long and the motion sensor does not activate the camera until the person has already knocked on the door. If the person has a hat on you never get a shot of their face.
Second, of the four cameras I have in the set two of them refuse to stay connected to the system for more than a day. They have full batteries, the wifi signal is strong at their locations, but the go offline. There is no alert to let you know a camera went down. One of the cameras won't reconnect to the base.
There were a few poor reviews on this system and I am going to give it about a week more. If the problems consist it will be going back to Best Buy and I'll try a better system.
