Pretty good quality we have all Arlo cameras and this was a I don’t know purchase due to the plug in but it works for bedrooms

This little cameras are great. I use them for indoor and under a covered patio and they hold up well to the elements. Even extremely cold weather of 0degrees and into the negatives. I definitely suggest they for the price. You can beat it. I do have other alro cameras what are battery powered but these plug in ones are so simple and you never have to charge them. The setup is also a breeze if you download the Arlo app and follow the simple quick instructions you will be up and running in no time. The audio and video quality is extremely good as well for the price. I’ve never had issues with them disconnecting from my homes Wi-Fi like some other cameras.

I was disappointed with the Arlo camera on multiple levels. The first was the instruction "guide" that came with the camera, a small slip of paper that informed you to download the Arlo app... which is called? So I searched the Apple Store and found one, assuming it must be the correct one even thought it was not simply called "Arlo". After installing the app I proceeded to setup an account and pair to my camera. In the app I found it under Essentials, cord-powered, and I spotted it. Only it stated "3rd Gen". My model was "2nd Gen". There was no option for "2nd Gen", so I selected "3rd Gen" and was advised to press the Bluetooth pairing button on the top of the camera... my button was on the bottom. Oh wait, below the Continue button is a helpful button stating "On Bottom". That's mine! So I pressed it... and was ejected back to the previous selection screen. No matter what option I tried, nothing worked. Then I noticed it mentioned the camera supported Alexa. I have Alexa! I'm saved! So I accessed the Alexa app on my phone, enabled the Arlo skill, connected to my Arlo account, and attempted to pair with the camera (making sure to press the button on the bottom until it started flashing). I waited. Waited. Alexa informed me it could not locate any new devices. In short, this was a complete was of money. I will be sending it back and will search for a device that is supported by the company that makes said device, unlike Arlo.

I love this camera for checking on my dog and keeping an eye on my house when I’m not home. It gives me peace of mind knowing I can always check in through the app whenever I need to. Connectivity: It connects easily and stays reliably linked without dropping often. Motion detection: The alerts are helpful and let me know right away when there’s movement. Lighting/night vision: The picture stays clear even in low light, which is great at night. Ease of setup: Super simple to get set up and running quickly. App usability: The app is easy to navigate and makes it simple to view live video or recordings. Field of view: Wide enough to see a good portion of the room so I can always see what my dog is doing. I also really love the privacy feature where the screen physically comes down over the camera when it’s turned off. It feels reassuring, and I like that when you turn it back on, you can actually hear the little click as it opens back up. It’s a nice added detail that makes it feel more secure and intentional.

Camera is supplied with a EU 2 pin plug only which is no use to me as I require a 3 pin uk plug.
