I already had ARLO ULTRA with 3 Cams and this was an add-on.

This product is not just great add-on but itself is pretty sufficient.
The product does not require a base - but can use your home wifi.
And like all ARLO products, super easy to install.
Depending on the coverage, FHD definition will be sufficient enough to identify the number plate, faces and other details.

When you need more cameras and if higher end products are too expensive, getting more of these should be a great option. I already had ARLO ULTRA with 3 Cams and this was an add-on.

Did a lot of research and found everything about these cameras to be spot on. Easy to set up via the app and a free three month trial with cloud service. Would thoroughly recommend having a. Look at these. Batteries will last if you set up correctly. Just set up my second camera and very happy with them. Did a lot of research and found everything about these cameras to be spot on.

1st camera did not work. Returned it to PB Tech. No problems with exchange. 2nd camera working great. Great addition. 1st camera did not work. Returned it to PB Tech. No problems with exchange. 2nd camera working great. Great addition.

Awful customer service, overcharged, GST added instead of GST incl, 'Price change evry day' they said despite the $212.43 incl price on web.
Be warned check the price they charge on your receipt before leaving. Takes 30mins+ for them to do a simple refund and 'process'
When asked they said the 2030 has a card slot. It does NOT have any SD or Micro SD slot, you need the additional $250 hub for that
Battery only lasts a week without solar or recharge. Subscription based cloud otherwise at $5 mth after 3mth trial expires. Awful customer service, overcharged, GST added instead of GST incl, 'Price change evry day' they said despite the $212.43 incl price on web.

We have the arlo ultra at our home and that is great so we purchased this camera for our daughter. It just does not work and e have replaced it as we thought the first one had a fault but the second one doesn’t always work either even though the wifi is full strength and signal is perfect. If you want a camera go for the ultra and bypass this one. We have the arlo ultra at our home and that is great so we purchased this camera for our daughter.

An excellent product - this was installed as a stand-alone camera in an adjacent building, in addition to our existing Arlo Smarthub based system. Easy to set up on 2.4 Wifi - works well.

If your looking for a basic Wifi camera this unit is what you need. Easy to set up and the battery lasts for around 1 month. Good picture quality If your looking for a basic Wifi camera this unit is what you need. Easy to set up and the battery lasts for around 1 month. Good picture quality

Great camera, on the deck and picks up movement easily out to ten metres, nice and clear even at night. Only fail is the setting up - you need to be on 2.4Ghz network which proved a challenge - otherwise great piece of kit. Got the solar panel - two cloudy days and its charged so no issues there.

I really recommend this as a camera to give you peace of mind. I don't think it would be the thing for serious surveillance, but if you want something so that you know that if the bad stuff happens, there'll be a record, this is excellent.

It's self-contained and small, very easy to install physically, and quite unobtrusive. The field of view is wide (with some fish-eye distortion), and the images clear.

As with a lot of modern e-gear, installation out of the box is straightforward.

As with a lot of modern e-gear, installation out of the box is straightforward. However, I've found that a couple of times I've had a glitch (likely finger trouble, for all I know), and the easiest way to fix it is to reset the camera and reinstall from scratch. Trying to fix a malfunction (or even re-start it after the battery was exhausted) has got me confused between flashing LEDs on the camera and switches in the App. No point in saying RTFM, because TINFM (there is no manual).

Mostly, it's easy to put up, easy to get hooked up to the wifi, and it works. You have to pay the subscription after three months, but I think that's probably worth while (if you do need the pictures, you don't want to find that the SD card has been stolen or your local disk had got disconnected from your wifi). It's my first security camera, and I don't regret having bought it.

Great Product and easy setup but after a month it refuses to connect to the app and no amount of troubleshooting can fix it. Great Product and easy setup but after a month it refuses to connect to the app and no amount of troubleshooting can fix it.

Crystal clear quality, great app features but most importantly amazing battery life! Crystal clear quality, great app features but most importantly amazing battery life!

The Arlo Essential is good for looking at whos at the Door, Image Quality is limited to 5m if you want a Perfect Shot so its not suitable for Long Distance Recording
For the Price its totally worth it although youll need to Subscribe monthly to fully use what it has to offer. The Arlo Essential is good for looking at whos at the Door, Image Quality is limited to 5m if you want a Perfect Shot so its not suitable for Long Distance Recording
