Arlo Essential 2K Outdoor Security Camera 3-pack

Burglaries are increasing in our area. When we received camera images from friends in the neighborhood of a burglar trying to break open their back door, we thought: It's time for better security. I started searching on the internet and came across these cameras. Especially because they are not too expensive and seem to have a good battery. I haven't really been able to test the battery yet, because I've only had them for a few weeks, but so far they are holding up well. The images are razor sharp and installation was very simple. The downside is the cost of the subscription if you want to save images. That costs a few euros every month. But otherwise satisfied.

Perhaps the best thing about these cameras is the operating app, which is very complete and easy to use. The image quality is good and the settings to avoid viewing too many notifications are fine. It's a pity that they are so strikingly white, you could call it a deterrent advantage, I think it's a disadvantage.

We have been using this outdoor camera set for a while now and in general we are mostly positive. I'll start with some positive points. First of all, the microphone and speaker are certainly an added value, the quality is not bad at all. I don't actually use it very often, but I can think of a number of situations where it could be useful, such as chasing away unwanted guests or asking the parcel deliverer to put the package somewhere safe. I have not yet had to use the safety light, but I have tested it. This is more than strong enough to deter or just useful to have extra light yourself. The quality of the camera images is also very good. The biggest disadvantage of this camera set is of course the subscription model. You pay €5 per camera per month. With multiple cameras this of course counts. However, without the subscription, these cameras are useless (in my humble opinion), because then you can only watch live. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase and look forward to enjoying it and feeling safe for a long time to come.
