There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The cameras come well packaged screwed into a plastic insert that sits atop the main box. In the main box you will find two smaller boxes that contain the receiver, the cables, and the mounting hardware.
Setup was extremely easy and straightforward. I plugged in the base station to the power outlet. I plugged in the ethernet cable to my router, and then waited for it to go into pair mode. I downloaded the Arlo app and created an account without issue. Next I placed the 8 included batteries into the cameras (4 each) and pressed the sync button. In about 30 seconds the cameras were synced and ready to go. I opened the app and started to play around with it. Once the app and cameras set up (automatically) you are ready to use them.
I opened the app and clicked on the camera button and both of my cameras showed up. Then a translucent play button will show over the camera picture and touching it will start the live feed. The cameras do not stay on 24 hours, rather they turn on when you log in or if you set up rules (more on that later). At first I did not like that idea but after using them for a week, I am glad they are set up that way. It definitely saves on batter life. The video is pretty good for a wireless camera. It states HD, however on my phone it doesnt seem to be HD. The feed is a tad bit fuzzy, but this isnt enough to bother me. It could also be my internet connection as well. Getting the video streaming live happens fairly quickly. The field of view (FOV) is 130 degrees and I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I can actually see in the daytime. There is about a 5 second delay from the camera to your viewing device, which I guess could be a problem for some peoples applications. While you are live viewing there are some options for the camera. You can pause the feed which effectively "turns it off", you can start to record the live feed, you can take a snapshot of the live feed, or you can adjust the brightness based on the ambient light wherever you placed the camera. The cameras work very well at night also. I have one outside and it is able to view a lot of detail even in complete darkness, but due to the scattering of the infared light, it doesnt give you the viewing distance that you can see during the day. Not a big deal to me. When you using a camera in a room in the house, the night vision of the camera works extremely well. I started to play around with the software for motion detection and at first it was a little confusing to me but now that I have figured it out, it works very well and is actually really cool. Each camera can have rules created for it, such as if motion is detected on X camera, then start recording on X camera. You can choose a level of sensitivity but setting the number of videos from 0 to 100% with 100% being the most sensitive motion detection setting. Then you can record the motion from 10 seconds to 120 seconds. After you create whatever rules you want for your cameras, then you create modes for the cameras. Here is where you set the rules you just created for these modes. I will give an example as to how it works. Say you create a mode for movement and just title it "Movement". Then you go to the rules section and create rules for the camera. Say you set the camera to 100% for recording videos if motion is detected, then you set the time for 60 seconds. You go back to that mode and the rule can be enabled/selected in the mode. Then say you want to create another mode and call it "All Off". You then can go into that mode and you will see the rule you just created where you set the camera to 100% and record for 60 seconds. In this mode the rule is disabled/deselected. Now you have two modes, each with the same rules but those same rules are enabled and disabled differently in the modes. So say you want to leave for the day but monitor your house. You go into the movement mode and click on it so a check mark appears next to it. Now anytime motion is detected on that camera(s) it will start recording. So then you come home and you are outside but dont want the camera coming on and recording a bunch of videos of you. You then go into the mode and select the all off mode and then the camera will not record anything based on motion detection. If motion is detected when you have a certain mode on, you can have it have the option to notify you by email and an alert will pop up on your phone if you are using the mobile app.
Then you can go further and set schedules for the modes so you dont have to worry about switching between modes. I have not gotten into this yet so I can not comment on its functionality.
Some people have reported the low battery life icon showing up when exposed to colder temperatures. From what I understand, Netgear already knows about this and is working on a firmware update. If you do have them outside and it gets very cold and the next morning the red battery low icon is showing, I have found out that opening the battery door and closing it back up will "reset" the bad icon and it will go back to the current battery level. I have only had that problem a few times when the temperature go to almost negative numbers. I will report however, that even though the cold may cause batter level issues, the cameras still functioned flawlessly in the cold temperature. No issues logging in or viewing live feeds.
Overall I am very pleased with the purchase. I am going to wait a few more weeks and see how I like them but I am already considering buying at least one more.
I have seen some reviews about the low battery life icon showing.
Setup
I had the system up and running in five minutes. Super easy, you simply connect the base station to your router using the supplied cat5e cable. I had a shorter cat6 cable so I actually used this instead. After it is plugged into the router you go to the Arlo website and create your account. The final step was to put batteries into the cameras and pair them to the base station. Both cameras were paired almost instantly! Compared to running camera wires or dealing with powerline networking (Alert) this was a breeze.
Cameras
Nice looking little cameras and they have a bit of weight to them. They aren't heavy by any means but feel like quality little units. They can sit on any flat surface or you may use the supplied magnetic mounts to install on a wall. They also have a tripod type adapter on the bottom which may open up some additional mounting possibilities.
Video quality
There are three options for video quality:
High quality (reduced battery life)
Balanced (compromise of image & battery life)
Best life (reduced image quality)
I used the suggested balance mode and found the image quality to be comparable to my old non-HD wired system and a bit lower in quality than my old Alert cameras. I changed the mode to high quality and the image improved to be comparable to the Alert cameras. For my purposes the balanced mode is fine. I've attached some pictures of my patio to compare the two.
Night vision
The cameras automatically switch to night vision mode when it gets dark. I found the image to be clear and sharp. I attached an image of my garage so you can see the clarity. This was taken during the day with only a small amount of light coming in through the door to the garage.
Website
The website is easy to navigate but there are not as many options available as my Logitech Alert site had. You may schedule when your cameras will record on motion or just have them record on motion at all times or never at all. There are some rules and modes that you may create but I haven't explored those options yet. One missing feature seems to be being able to define the motion detection zone for each camera. You can adjust the image itself using pan & zoom controls (which may in itself adjust the detection zone) but with my old Alert cameras I could zoom the image all the way out but set specific areas that would trigger recording. You can setup the cameras to email specific addresses when they detect motion. In testing these seem to be sent within 10-30 seconds after movement occurs, pretty good in my opinion! The email contains a snapshot from the camera and you can click a link to play it without having to log into the Arlo site. This is much improved over the Alert emails that I used to receive.
Website compatibility
I used the site successfully on my Windows 8.1 PC, a Windows 8.1 tablet & a Windows RT tablet. My biggest complaint with the website is that when accessing from my Windows 8.1 phone it defaults to a mobile page directing you to download the IOS or Android app. Of course neither of these works with a Windows phone so you are out of luck if you were hoping to monitor your cameras from a Windows phone. To be fair, I already knew there was no Windows phone app when I bought the system but I hoped there would be a mobile optimized site that would work with my phone. When will manufacturers stop ignoring Windows phone users? Fortunately the email that is sent when motion is detected does allow (even on a Windows phone) you to play the video that was captured. So from a Windows phone you can play videos after they are triggered (when they are emailed to you) but you cannot stream your cameras in real time.
Video playback (from website)
You may view your videos from the website and they are categorized by the date and time they were recorded. It's easy to delete both single videos and multiple videos at once. You may also choose to download a video, share it and mark favorites. I have not tested these three functions yet though.
Live streaming (from website)
The site basically gives you static images of each camera's view with a play button. Once you click the play button it connects to the cameras and within a few seconds live playback occurs. This is comparable to what I experienced with my Alert cameras and being 100% wireless totally acceptable to me. When you are live streaming you can adjust the image to play in small windows, a medium sized window or full screen. You may also take a snapshot of the image as well using a camera button.
Apps
As I have recently decided to move to a 100% Microsoft (PCs, tablets & phones) environment I have not tested the Android and IOS apps so I cannot speak to their functionality. I hope that Netgear decides to release a Windows phone app so I have live streaming functionality from my phone someday. I'm sure all of you Android & IOS folks are well supported though!
Subscriptions
The free subscription enables you to manage up to five cameras. There are different subscription levels that provide more cloud-based storage and the ability to manage more cameras. I have not explored these as I only need five cameras.
Overall impression
I've had my system up and running for about 16 hours and haven't experienced any dropped cameras. The ease of setup and excellent video quality (for a completely wireless system) have left me impressed. The biggest disappointment is the lack of support for Windows phone but I'm definitely in the minority with that concern. I would like to see Windows phone support (either an app or a mobile optimized site) and the ability to specify detection zones. I want to expand my system to five cameras but the add on cameras are not available until the end of the month. Even with the few disappointments I'm giving it five stars because it is the best that I've used to date.
Anyway, this is the first review that I've ever posted on Amazon so I hope you find it helpful! I'll update if I have any issues, challenges with more than two cameras or discover any new features!
