Lasted 20 months before developing issues.
Purchased 8/21. Developed blurry edges on the camera lens by 4/23. If you check, several people are having the same problem with the Essential model cameras. My other Arlo camera’s that are not essential models are older and are still working perfectly. Arlo’s response was, sorry, it’s outside the warranty so buy another one. They offered a 10% discount. If your using this camera outside in the elements, you may want to think about another model of Arlo camera or maybe even a different security camera brand all together.
Thank you for your feedback

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Arlo Security Camera, and I must say, it has completely changed the way I feel about home security. With its long-lasting battery life, crystal-clear vision, and live monitoring capabilities, the Arlo camera provides unparalleled peace of mind, whether I'm at home or away. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for the best security device on the market.

The Arlo camera's live monitoring capabilities provide an added layer of security and peace of mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality. Good price.
Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2023
Style: 1st GenVerified Purchase
I have purchased three of these cameras. Overall, I am pleased the quality of the cameras and the video they provide. The app is versatile and has lots of options. Easy to set it up so my partner can see the cameras as well. Installation is easy. The night vision is decent. I combined one of my cameras with an Arlo solar panel and it keeps it powered up constantly. Without a solar panel, the camera needs to be taken down and charged up probably about every two months. The motion detection is sensitive enough to pick up cats walking across my lawn or ripples going across my pool. The app can distinguish between people, animals, and vehicles. Anything that doesn't fit those categories registers as "motion." Of course, this is not a robust system that will provide you constant video monitoring. If your internet goes down or you lose your phone, it's no good to you. However, if you're looking for a WiFi enabled motion detection system at a reasonable price with lots of versatility, I 100% recommend this product.

Easy to charge and install. The pros end there.

The image classification / identification that comes with Arlo is perhaps the most juvenile and naive I've ever seen commercially available. You're not only spammed with incorrect notifications, such as claiming a flower pot is a person, but it drains its battery on its naivety also.

Try any other brand, this is absolute garbage.
