There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have several old ARLO cameras. Some that connect to a Base Station Hub, and some that connect directly to WIFI. I have had no problems with them. The hub connection for this one is very slow. The WIFI connection is a DISASTER. It will not directly connect to the Apple Router for it gets confused between the 5 Ghz and the 2.4 Ghz band. It would only connect if I gave the bands different names. This meant my other devices could also connect to the slower band. I saw no way around this. THEIR SUPPORT HAS CHANGED TO DISMAL too.
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2022
Below is my initial review. I didn't change any settings on my phone or the camera because I had pretty much given up on geofencing. Then, magically, it started recognizing when I was home and away again and would arm and disarm accordingly (somewhere around Jan 20, 2023). I can only attribute this to Arlo fixing the bug that came with the big app update in November 2022. I'm pretty happy with it now, but I only upgrade it 4 to stars because the bug was frustrating for me, and who knows if this problem will happen again with the next update.
Geofencing is the most important feature for me. When I leave home, it should arm itself. When I arrive home, it should disarm. It's really not that complicated technology these days. It actually worked very well for a while. Then they updated the app in November 2022, and now geofencing rarely works. Sometimes it works if you leave the app open constantly, but that was not the case before the update, and also, that's not acceptable to me. Check out the reviews of the app on Google Play, and you'll see A LOT of negative reviews about many things, especially after the update. The camera itself is OK. It can't scan a room like other cameras, and I hear some features work best only if you subscribe to the monthly cloud storage. You should look for a different camera.
