ArloFloodlight Security Camera Outdoor, Quality 2K HDR, 160° Wide Angle, Weatherproof, Colour Night Vision, Ringing Alarm Siren, Up to 3000 Lumen, 2-Way Talk, Arlo Secure Trial Included

Working this review after 21 months of use. The quality and sensor is pretty good. Battery life was our main concern, which hadn’t been a problem ; charging every 6-8 months. Obviously charge rate depends upon how much it’s armed and triggered. Battery longevity also varies ever so slightly by outdoor temperatures. On the very odd and rare occasions (approximately 2/3), the camera has been covered by dew.The camera quality and range is really clear. You can also use the intercom to speak if needed. What’s great is that you can set your own trigger zones (handy for neighbouring fence lines). I only have one critiqué, the time lag on a person being captured in a zone to the alert on your phone could/should be far quicker. The delay is significant enough that if you were wanting to interrupt an intruder you may be a little late. However, the delay hasn’t put me off the device and quality as this can be improved in software updates. Subsequent, I have gone onto purchase a second device.Other reason for picking this brand over others was to do with secure service (so far!!), one other brand available to purchase via this platform has had breaches.Hope this review helps you make your own personal home security decision.

I purchased multiple Arlo products — including the video doorbell with chime, the Arlo Pro 5 outdoor security camera, a wireless floodlight camera, and two Essential indoor cameras. I also subscribed to the Arlo Secure plan, paying nearly £12 per month.However, not long after purchase, I began experiencing persistent technical issues. The doorbell camera was the first to fail — it stopped recording videos entirely, seemingly due to a non-functional motion sensor.I contacted Arlo support multiple times. Each call lasted between 45 and 60 minutes with technical agents who, from my experience, were not based in the UK. Instead of resolving the problem, they repeatedly tried to blame my internet connection — despite the fact that I have a 3Gbps connection, which is more than sufficient.Soon after, the floodlight camera began to malfunction in a similar way. The first time, Arlo repaired it; the second time, they exhausted all troubleshooting steps and ultimately deemed it defective.To make matters worse, Arlo requires customers to upload “evidence” of internet speed via time-limited links. These links consistently fail to work and expire before the upload can be completed — a process I suspect may be deliberately obstructive.When I attempted to cancel my subscription, I discovered that the “unsubscribe” button on their website was frozen and non-functional — yet another example of Arlo’s questionable business practices.In my experience, Arlo is plagued by poor customer service, unreliable products, and potentially dubious and unethical policies. I would strongly caution others before investing in their ecosystem.

The media could not be loaded. Really love this. Great functions like geo fencing, brightness of the light and sensitivity. Lights the drive up well and records from 10 seconds or when movement stops, we’ve had recordings for a minute and a half. The battery lasts a good while so only needs charging every few months not weeks. Arlo aren’t cheap but they are good quality and look good. They also work well with Echo show as you can see from my Echo Show 15. It can also be set up so it follows the movement it detects.

This is my second floodlight camera to add to my existing set up.I am currently using a set up comprising of some older Pro 2 with a base station and these.Over the years I have had stability issues with the app but it is now as stable as it gets. That’s not to say I haven’t had to restart the base station when it loses pairing with the odd camera randomly.By comparison to the pro 2 cameras the 2k video images are much better with the floodlight cameras and the ability to track moving objects is good albeit at the cost of image quality.This time I’ve chosen black colour as it is more discrete.I do find Arlo cameras lenses are too wide and cover too large an area and I do find the cloud based recording fees nothing short of extortion which is a real shame as I cannot afford to pay for CVR or multiple camera packages that others offer for free.

Bought two of these now (one for my mother-in-law) and we are very happy with them. Firstly I like the design which looks neat and high tech. Installation and set up was easy although there were few quirks learnt along the way. If you have the patience reading the full manual is very worthwhile as the camera is quite complex.I had to change SSID twice and the routine in the app never worked - both times I had to remove the device from the app and reinstall.The audio trigger goes off every few seconds when it is windy so we had to deactivate that feature - tricky to find how to do that in the section on Modes.To avoid having to recharge the battery (and there are issues about how often this is needed) you need to add either outdoor charging cable or the solar panel. Early days but the Solar panel seems to work very well.
