I've been using my Arlo cameras for…
I've been using my Arlo cameras for more than a year now to monitor my apartment and I love the overall experience with the product and the app. Very precise and reliable system, super easy to use. There had been a burglary attempt in my building in 2024 one night, and I live alone, so I was looking for something to check my entrance door from the inside. We have even agreed with my neighbors to share an additional camera which is now placed in the stair landing and checks who arrives at our floor. The shared access to this new one was also very easy to set-up and customize to our needs.

Simple and reliable
Got an Arlo camera recently and it’s been solid so far. Setup was pretty straightforward and didn’t take long. The app is easy enough to use and the video quality is clear, even at night.
Main thing is it just works — I get alerts when I need them and haven’t had any issues. Makes me feel a bit more relaxed when I’m out or away for a few days. Overall, happy with it.

AVOID ARLO
Camera feeds went - (Contract for for 9 units); camera "cloud" storage went. Just disappeared. Arlo had no idea why, could and WOULD not fix. Customer service was, as usual, terrible.
Do NOT buy ARLO products as they fail, service back up is terrible. If you want proper security - AVOID using ARLO.

I would leave few stars if that were possible.
The base station simply does not connect. I have thirty years experience off this sort of set up with many companies and this is the worse by far. The equipment is new and is going to recycling now because EUFY make a better set up, for less money , and which has its own storage thus saving over £300 EVERY year over Arlo. Not the mention the EUFY system works straight away.
I have tried everything to get the ARLO bug to connect . They have NO SUPPORT unless you sign up for an expensive monthly plan.
To make matters worse when posted the same sort of review they went back via Trust Pilot to ask for me details and offered to contact me. They gave the same instructions that I already had (literally the definition of stupidity ) . And do course they have not ever contacted me. That is just a very cynical ploy to write to a bad review . I am shocked how bad they are. Things have moved on in this field and the EUFY are considerably better in every way. For example the EUFY wireless cameras connect directly so don;t need an expensive hub, have a longer range, better optics and very neatly have solar panel so they really are wireless and don’t need the battery replaced . EUFY are the ones to get . And most decidedly NOT ARLO .

The Arlo app just updated on my phone :(
The Arlo app just updated on my phone today. No warning ....! It's not just an update, it's a completely different system, far more complex and difficult to operate, has lost all my settings so now it is not setting geofencing when I am away, and the house is not secure.
If the company do things like this they should give customers clear information about the implications and dangers of the update and a set of clear instructions on how it works.
Apart from that, I agree with other reviewers that the voice communication on the doorbell is rubbish, the battery life is not good, there seems to be in-built obsolescence and instead of being able to buy a new camera the whole system has to be updated. It is only 5 years old! Very expensive and not good value for money.

Dear Corinne,
We can see that the new version of the Arlo Secure app has not met your expectations and that this has been a frustrating experience.
To help you and other customers familiarise yourselves with the new app, its changes, and features, we’ve put together a series of support articles in our knowledge base. You can find them here: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/new-arlo-secure-app
You can also explore a variety of tutorial videos on our official YouTube channel, including guidance on the new app, its features, and navigation: https://www.youtube.com/@ArloSmartHomeUK
To ensure that geofencing (now called Arrive/Leave in the new app version) is set up correctly, we recommend the following guide:
https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000062822/what-are-arrive-leave-automations-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-for-my-arlo-system-app-4-0
If your Arrive/Leave automation is still not working as expected, this article may help: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000062825/why-isn-t-my-arlo-arrive-leave-automation-working
The two issues you mentioned with your Arlo Doorbell (poor audio quality during calls and reduced battery life) may be related. For example, weak Wi‑Fi signal strength or limited upload speed can affect both audio performance and battery consumption. We advise you to perform a speed test here and check your upload: https://www.speedtest.net/
Our Essential Video Doorbells require 2 Mbps per unit to function properly.
We recommend contacting our customer support so they can investigate this further and guide you through the new app, including the Arrive/Leave feature and ensure that it works correctly. To get in touch, please visit: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support

If you’re reading these reviews before buying…
If you’re reading these reviews before buying an Arlo product, take this as a serious warning from a long-time Arlo customer.
I’ve invested thousands of £££'s into Arlo camera products over the years, but I’m now actively replacing the lot because the recent app “upgrade” which was forced on me, has made the system unusable.
Support, which had been excellent when the products were under warranty, is now impossible to reach without paying a subscription and this enforced change has seriously undermined the reliability and security I have depended on for my entire home and to me, the new app feels heavily geared toward pushing users onto paid subscriptions and nothing else, a shameful commercial tactic to get customers to pay for a subscription they neither need nor want.
you could never describe the previous free subscription as being packed with features, but it was simple, stable, and did exactly what was needed to effect a basic home security system.
I really don’t want advanced AI tools, smart summaries, or extra cloud features — I just want the straightforward, reliable app experience I originally bought into but that option appears to be gone now.
My advice is to spend some time reading what other long-term users are saying about the recent app changes before you buy and make up your own mind, of course but judging by the growing backlash of angry customers online, I suspect Arlo is going to lose a significant number of loyal customers because of this ill thought out decision to change the app to a level where it is unusable.

Very Poor Experience as New Customer
A really poor service from this company:
1. I purchased two Ultra 3 cameras which arrived on time however, the packaging in my opinion was insufficient for such a heavy item (the product was put in a single wall box that had no void fill to support the item inside and hence got squashed.
2. The outside of the Ultra 3 box was ripped in two places and looked like it had been opened before.
3. Upon opening the camera box it was obvious that what I had been sent "was" in fact a used item as the cable was out of it's cardboard sleeve, the batteries had their clear bags ripped and the hub was dirty on the bottom. In addition, one of the wall brackets was missing.
4. I telephoned to complain and received a case number but was told to email Customer Services.
5. However, it took 3 emails and 1.5 weeks to received this label!
I therefore won't be re-purchasing a new camera as I was advised to do (they don't offer replacements). If it's impossible to get a reply from Customer Services there's no way I'm making another order and will go elsewhere.
I am waiting for a refund now...

The customer service is awful
The customer service is awful. All I got for an hour was I’m setting up a case number, I bought the wrong battery from Arlo Europe online.
I just wanted a returns label. Never got 1. Just kept putting me through to another person, another case number, I gave up in the end. Still got the battery, but have cancelled my subscription and got an eufy camera. Just as good with no subscription.

If I could give zero stars you would get it Arlo. We have the system since years and invested last year into new cameras when we moved to Spain. The two old cameras never connected to our base station (which we accepted because they are old) ever since Arlo changed the software it is a nightmare to set it up. We just thought ok now we are buying two additional new cameras - and here we go again - they are not connecting to the base station. At this point I'm so done with it that I will for sure send them back, cancel my plan and search for something else - oh and did I mention dealing with customer service is a complicated too. Terrible experience

Called and cancelled subscription last year after missing cut off - fair enough. Took payment subscription was not cancelled this year. No contact number available, chat button don’t work. Not used the camera for 12 months and paid for another 12 months with no way of contacting anyone for my money back. To be honest it’s a bit of a scam. You cannot deal with any company that you cannot speak to £80 down the drain again and for nothing. Poor customer service and poor app, poor website. I’d use others moving forward. The products are not even that great. Scam artist. Been robbed.

The worst camera system on the planet
The worst camera system on the planet. Instructs you to do things on certain places on their app which don't even exist. Their customer service is completely useless and you cannot speak to a single human being as they feel that AI is the way to go. These cameras consistently lose their charge with very little activity in the zones and have to be consistently charged on a regular basis. Take my word for it and pay a little more and get a hardwired system. Arlo is the worst of the worst
