arlo Pro - Wireless Home Security Camera System | Rechargeable, Night vision, Indoor/Outdoor | 2 camera kit (VMS4230-100NAR) (Renewed)

***UPDATE 08/31/19***CONSIDER ANOTHER PRODUCT OR A WIRED SYSTEM!!!!!ok so I'm over a week in at this point and bottom line is this camera system is only good for live viewing and a deterrent!!! The motion detection is next to useless unless something is 1 fl in front of the camera. The night vision or brightness setting causes the camera to flash its led which kills the battery with all the false positives. Oddly enough the audio detection is more reliable than the motion detection. In combination you still get hardly nothing when it comes to video capture. For instance, one Camera is at my front door covering my drive way and the camera wont start recording as the car is pulling up just after I slam the door and approach the door. I have no idea how ANYONE gave this product higher than 1 star. Guess that's paid marketing for you.However, we might get a decent system with Arlo 57 Titanium @ $6K per camera with a lifetime subscription that extends to your unborn child!FYI IM GIVING 5 STATS FOR CONSUMER WARNING*** Previous review***HIGH LEVEL:I bought this product for its ease of setup and app integration. This being a "renewed" product, I did not have hardly any trouble thus far (day 4). Packaging was ok. All items were in good shape. However, I did have to factory reset the device to pair the cameras. All cameras work properly and the base station is functioning. Also being a YI Home Camera user I had some expectations going into the purchase. The real-time camera view is clear along with the audio. My furthest camera is maybe 100 ft from the base station and it has about 2/3 signal strength. Motion detection seems to be hit or miss with the sensitivity up to 100%. Overall for my usage the system works for me but I may consider a wired system down the road for the local continuous video recording.PROS:-audio is clear-video is clear-setup is easy-camera mounting was easy with outdoor mounts-mobile app works wellCONS:- limited Camara modes-motion detection is delayed and seems to start recording when the triggers is no longer in frame-the cloud service is almost nonexistent without a premium cost-local storage has no function. There is nothing indicating where to access it or what's being stored.

I have been using cameras for years with a separate security system. If my security system went off I could look into my cameras and see if it is a false fire or a real alert. My previous cameras were foscam and 1 KK moon camera. The security system was a wireless no name system and it worked ok with some false firing. Read about the ARLO cameras and thought I would give them a try so I purchased this refurb-two camera system from Amazon. I now have a five cameras and they not only serve as my security system they monitor my outside and inside and I set zones so I can leave the outside on while I'm home or turn them all on when my wife and I are out and about. The motion videos are incredible. I have caught my delivery guy throwing boxes on our porch, a parade of raccoons going across my driveway and into our garbage can. I've had them for a month now and with all the video clips I have looked at my battery's are at 80%. I also picked up an extra battery and a battery charger so I can just swap the battery when needed. You can stick these any where! I have one looking down on my front door entrance, one by my driveway and one in my back yard monitoring my deck and pool. The remaining two cameras monitor my den and kitchen and my dining room and living room. The detection is fabulous and works at an adjustable range of up to 40-50 feet. No false firing. IF a camera goes off it can send me a notification on my mobile phone and even send me a video email of what happened during detection. I am a happy camper!!

I was kind of skeptical at first since you can’t find too many truly wireless cameras that actually last! My brother had gotten a Arlo system about 2 years ago and his is still going strong! So I did some research and decided to go with the Arlo Pro system with 2 cameras this was a great deal! The camera system came in it’s original packaging and it looked brand new could even tell they are refurbished! I charged both battery parks and Set them up outdoors. I am amazed by the battery life we only charge every two months!! My mind was blowed that the battery last that long, we have it on sensitive motion detection so it picks up movement from all the way in the street with cars passing by and can catch my kids on the back when they are jumping on the trampoline!! I do have a slight issue with the like 3 second delay on recording when motion is detected but that’s not too much of a big deal! We are going to be ordering add on cameras for other areas of the house!! I would definitely recommend for anyone needed a wire free system who doesn’t want the hassle of wires and drilling holes!!

This camera system is a great option for the average person looking to set up a home security camera system. The cameras are wireless for a very simple setup and allows placement almost anywhere on your house. Part of my choice for this system was the lack of a required paid subscription to use the product and service. I cannot comment on battery life yet however the camera on my front door is activated an average of 10 times a day and the battery level has yet to drop for the week it has been in service. I was also happy that I could start with just the 2 camera system and can expand with more later on very easily. The video quality is good and the night vision is adequate. I like to keep my porch light on at night which messes with the front cameras ability to see the driveway however with it off and just in night vision mode it can see the both cars in the driveway a little. Overall a great system and very easy to setup in less than about 20-30 minuets.
