Arlo Essential XL Spotlight Camera - Wireless Security, 1080p Video, Color Night Vision, 2 Way Audio, 1 Year Battery Life, Wire-Free, Direct to Wi-Fi No Hub Needed, Works with Alexa, White - VMC2032

Camera quality is good, and the night vision works well. The mic picks up well enough for me to understand somebody 10 feet away from the camera. The speaker is alright I suppose. Talk through is pretty low though. The siren is about twice as loud as a typical phone speaker. It comes with a 3 month trial for their subscription service (which you don't even have to put in a form of payment for it) August 2023 it costs $4.99 per camera. They also have a service for continuous video recording backed up to the cloud for $9.99 per camera. Setup was quick and easy, both connecting to the app and WiFi, and mounting where I wanted it. For $49.99 I can't complain, and overall I'm happy with my purchase.

Easy to install and use, very helpful

Good quality

its really an awesome little security camera for the price, the bracket you mount it on is very positionable, so you can get it pointing any which way you please. the only thing is with it being a wireless security camera and all the faster internet you have the better, my internet definitely isn't the best, and would cause this camera to lag, or sometimes make the video quality god awful. overall i would definitely recommend it though.

Not sure if there's a blurry spot on these cameras. Still testing it needs to pick up more motion. I was attacked in the garage and the clips need to be longer.

1-yr battery life is deceptive because you have to charge it up as much as you would the regular camera even if you put it in the backyard which has less traffic

These cameras are great when they work. They are constantly going offline. We have purchased four cameras so that one camera would be working at all times, but that is not the case. Several times all cameras have been offline when they were needed. Since this is a security system it is imperative that they work the time.

It was very hard to connect and the discovery with the Bluetooth connection was very difficult. Have to have 2.5 and then I kept disconnected once it got connected it automatically disconnected still serval times and still do.

the spotlight is very weak. that prevents the infrared night vision to work correctly and the night color video is just crap.

if my rating could be negative it would be. this camera never hooked up. I did everything i could do to trouble shoot and nothing. i tlreturned it and got google nest. works way better and much more reliable.
