    Detection of events is strange - meaning will get cars in the street but not people on my walk

    Detection of events is strange - meaning will get cars in the street but not people on my walk
    It makes a good wifi connection, and the solar panel works well. But, the detection will get cars on my block and the block at the end, but not people coming up my walk. They say it only really works at less than 25'. But the front door is less than 15 feet away. If quickly leaving the house then walking to the cars in the driveway it captures nothing. Yes, it has a dedicated detection zone set there! It will capture a slow departure out the door but then almost always stops after 12 seconds regardless of motion - i watch it work to test - even though the setting is it continue to capture as long as there is activity. This obviously will not be sufficient if there is a rapid succession of events - the kind of things I want to capture! Also, their plan to record once the trial is over is kind of expensive. Some earlier reviews may have been looking at the wrong pricing, or those plans have doubled/tripled, and it is not easy to get information on what you are really getting for your subscription. My return window is closed or i would return it. Do you want to buy it?

    The view, detail, and clarity of the Arlo Pro 5S is amazing. It was super easy to set up and hit the ground running. Identifies people and animals. I only wish there was a way to have a picture-in-picture feed on my computer screen of what the camera sees live. I was able to do this with my old Nest camera and I loved it.

    I took one star off because there is about a 30 -45 second delay between the motion detection notification and the live view. Overall, it's not bad. Easy set up. I have 5G but it could only connect to the 2.4 which is a bit confusing because it specifically says it can connect to 5G. They only sent one charging magnetic cable for three cameras so that was a bit annoying because each camera took 3 hours to charge. Getting the cameras set up in the App is fairly simple, you just need patience and fully read the steps. I would recommend buying the solar panels to keep the battery charged. They don't mention that but overall, they're pretty good

    Color: WhiteSize: 1 PackStyle: StandardVerified Purchase
    I've just installed 6 of the 5S 2K cameras around our property and they work great. They pick up the Wifi at a great distance. The clarity is fantastic and all the different settings you can use on the camera is a plus.
    It'll be interesting to how long the battery charge last with the cameras. I've opted not to use a base station yet but we'll wait and see about going that route.
    Pairing the Cameras to my network was absolutely simple no problems whatsoever. Right now I have installed on one of the cameras the electrical cord that plugs into a wall receptacle to keep the battery charged. Time will tell if I purchase a few more of those AC adapter cables for other cameras.
    Highly recommend these Arlo 5S 2 K cameras.

    I had the Arlo pro2 set up with solar and a few of my cameras wouldn’t hold a charge so I decided to upgrade to the Arlo pro 5s. WHAT A MISTAKE! Turns out you can no longer record clips unless you pay a monthly subscription. (Except during the 30 day free trial they give you once you buy the cameras, which is just enough to get you passed the 30 day return policy)

    What you can do is get notifications for free and hope you can get the app to load fast enough view live to see if you can find what’s setting off your camera. Or get a micro sd card for local storage and once you get back on the home WiFi you can scroll through all the greyd tiles and slowly load each one to view if anything looks suspicious. (That’s if you upgrade and buy the home base station)

    And top it all off I bought the solar panels for these cameras too because of course they changed the charging ports. So now I’m out almost a grand for cameras I could barely use and now can’t return

(Except during the 30 day free trial they give you once you buy the cameras, which is just enough to get you passed the 30 day return policy)

    What you can do is get notifications for free and hope you can get the app to load fast enough view live to see if you can find what’s setting off your camera. Or get a micro sd card for local storage and once you get back on the home WiFi you can scroll through all the greyd tiles and slowly load each one to view if anything looks suspicious. (That’s if you upgrade and buy the home base station)

    And top it all off I bought the solar panels for these cameras too because of course they changed the charging ports. So now I’m out almost a grand for cameras I could barely use and now can’t return

    First and foremost I've never purchased an item with no written instructions. The system is set up via an app and because of this it took me a bit to figure out several things about this camera, to include battery installation. It's my bad for not immediately installing the app so start up was a bit slow. However, once the camera WAS working it wouldn't connect to the app. We have 2.4ghz and 5ghz internet and apparently the camera had difficulty connecting as a result, still unsure why. We contacted the "help" line via chat and they were clueless, so we just started over with the set up process. We got it working again, but it drops out periodically without reason. The video is delayed and hesitates and isn't the quality we expected for the price point. We have Ring cameras around our house and paid virtually the same price for them and have much better luck and the video quality is fantastic. So far we can't get the Arlo system working 100% without having some sort of problem. Another ridiculous issue was dealing with the mounting system. We opted for the solar charger, which works well, but the mounting brackets for the camera and the panel are incredibly cumbersome and difficult to tighten into place. Also not sure if the charging cable from the panel to the camera is water proof as it states the system is "weather resistant". Resistant to what? Rain, sun, hail, heat, snow, wind?? My wife has a $20 indoor camera we use full time, set up is virtually instant and it has better quality picture than this Arlo. Albeit indoor only, I'd say her $20 camera is by far better than the Arlo that we paid $230 for. Disclaimer, this is just our experience with this camera. The rating on Amazon was 4.3/5 stars so we expected more from it, but after reading reviews on FB, I saw only ONE positive review, just sayin'. I'd give this system 2 stars over all. It does work, just not very well given my experience...

    I've had this for about two weeks and noticed that it takes around 5-10 seconds to load if you want to see live video. I have a 2 gigabit speed wifi and it's still slow the cameras. Also, the motion detection AI that It uses needs some work, even if there is a car parked in the driveway and no movement it spams me with notifications that there is a car. I even tried to lower the motion and audio sensitivity and just had to turn off vehicle notifications. The 2-watt solar panel they offer is a scam, just buy a cheap 10-watt or even 5-watt solar panel and make sure it has a USB port and it'll keep the camera charged with no problem, for less too.

    I bought these cameras as I know people who have them and can access the recorded footage easily and at no cost.....free, the friend's arlo cameras had an easy mount as well. This is not the case at all with these crap cameras. These cameras are heavy and the mount does not hold well and camera drops and points to ground. I was willing to work with that thinking I had good cameras with accessible recordings....not.
    The online subscription runs out after the date I can return them....then I find out I cannot see or access any recordings unless I pay. I already paid $800!!!!! I was lead to believe I had some cloud storage for free.
    Ok, so I have a USB port for storage so I will use that I'm thinking. I get that set up but find out I can never access any recordings when I am away from home. So if I am not home and not same internet as my Arlo system, I cannot see any recordings even when a person is detected at my house. No mic ability or sound either
    These cameras are USELESS to me and NOT worth the $800.
    I would like to get my $800 back since all of this became evident after my return window expired. This was by design of course

    Did not open the package. Camera requires a subscription for storage and has no sim card option.
    Decided on Reolink instead. Amazon was very fast to refund the cost of the previous camera.

    Purchased Arlo door bell and older model eccential camera . Models all have major issues picking up movement in custom zones set up by your own settings. The 5s camera when power levels drop to 10% Constantly triggering text message alerts very far outside of your custom set up zones . In turn degrading battery life to three days even when hooked up to Arlo optional solar panel that is in a sunny area most of the day. BTW solar panel charging plugs are different types between both camera . Have to purchase different ones. One is magnetic other is micro usb . Also found night vision much better in the lower cost older eccential camera. The 5 s is much newer and 2 megapixel but performance much lower than the older eccential model. Called customer support tech but seem to be perplexed as to why and did not offer any answers so far . The paid subscription AI picking up cars driving down the street and interpreting them as animal movement in alerts . They still have a long way to go with software issues .
