Arlo Secure: Home Security 4+

It can detect the wrong things.

It’s great most part however the camera’s detect the wrong things. Stating it’s a person when it’s an animal ie: my horses walking about. We are relieved it’s our horses however it does give you a scare as it’s says it’s a person. The charge on them is good but I may think of adding a solar back up due to having animals triggering it so our’s wear down quicker but it’s around a two week charge with them being set off. It can take a while to log in at times for some reason, when it’s alerted so your thinking hurry up. So for that it’s a 4 out of 5 for us, However this is one of the best camera systems so far we have seen and had. You can also talk to people on it whilst they are in front of it or like me talk to your animals. When talking to your animals it’s hilarious as they then start looking around for me. The glitch is minor it would just be great if it came up with misc rather then saying it’s a person or vehicle at 1am when it’s not. It’s shows as a vehicle for our rooster which is also funny. Most part it gets things on point, we would still buy it all over again as it outshines everything else on the market. Hope that help’s.

Arlo cctv system rocks!

From the moment I first installed a second hand Arlo 4 - camera system I have had peace of mind with the security of my warehouse in Brendale. I didn’t realise the full functionality of the cameras until I really started monitoring them, and when I needed to check out particular movements of a staff member one day. As I was watching the cameras, seeing them automatically follow the subject, zoom in and pan left or right when required, gave me the feeling these cameras had their own brain! The technology inside the white Arlo casing around me. I can hear conversations clearly, see movement at night in full colour, and zoom in or out as desired. I can even have a conversation with someone through the camera-as clear as if I was talking to them in person. I just went and purchased another system today for our home, and this system doesn’t require a head unit physically plugged into the modem-it’s entirely wireless with only requiring a wifi connection! So out of the 4 new cameras, I can have 3 at home and add another to the warehouse, and have full access and connectivity through the app on my phone. Arlo gets 5 stars and a massive YES from me. Thanks for the peace of mind!

Arlo review

I hate having different battery/charges for doorbell/cameras

It hard to charge camera inside shell

None of faq has pictures of the what each charger looks like so I know what to look for

It is not the device is damaged it gets ridiculous amount of action from the dogs being recorded

I have two doorbell one of which has stopped connecting have tried troubleshooting also the battery should be the same as ultras it’s ridiculous if not I also got two because slightly cheaper I have to have daytime and night time armed for each camera

For scheduling it takes for ever

Because for front of house I want to know if they escaped the dogs every area has different functions

I put them all to not recognise dogs but all day it keeps taking videos if armed 100s of videos of the dogs I don’t want

The alarm is not loud enough and wierd sound

I want to be able to setup my own custom geofencing I can size for my unit

For each schedule is very slow because you have to add for every single scenario

I just want a quick easy way to get all the cameras in armed 12-7 over night and the rest of the time unarmed

Some times in a day I have 437 arlo app notifications and it is ridiculous when all are the dogs barking/

There is a setting asking if you want to be able to detect dogs or not

So I don’t get it and need to fix as for past week I have disarmed every thing until it is fixed

If you look at my current schedule
