Arlo Pro 6 GEN

I bought 5 Arlo Pro cameras in 2016/17. Still the same batteries. No fees. Flawless execution of Geo Fence mode. Has never failed. Same base station. Notifications happen quickly. Resolution is obviously pretty bad at night but good enough for what it is. Replacing 5 of these would be hundreds of do

Arlo Pro 6 GEN

Most of the complaints come from dealing with Arlo over many years. Arlo does some very questionable things like breaking features on older cameras and not bothering to fix it. Mandating firmware upgrades, you won’t be able to live stream a camera if there’s an update available. Tripling cost of sub

Ditto with my Pro 2. I just hate its forced account upgrades with new UI. also, Original Arlo isn't good as Pro 2. :(

New to Arlo, would like to expand my Arlo system but... concerned.

The ultra needs a base station. I just replaced my ultras with pro 6 because my Wi-Fi has better coverage than the base station. I’m in too deep with Arlo and if I could I’d go with another brand.

I’ve been an Arlo user since the very beginning, back when it was still a Netgear product in 2014. I started with the original Arlo Pro cameras using CR123 batteries and have consistently upgraded my system about every three years. Today, I’m running the latest Arlo Pro 6th Gen cameras, all connecti

I hate Arlo!

Had similar problems. Contacted arlo and got a callback almost immediately. They walked me through some steps and arlo 2 cameras on older hub and arlo pro 6 cameras on new hub are all working now. I didnt go with a subscription and use a USB for local recording of alerts. Everything has been working

Arlo Pro 6 GEN

The cameras, I don’t think many will dispute, are great. It’s how Arlo lets you use them after you’ve already paid $300 for a small kit of them that takes most people for a ride. The Arlo Pro 2 was a big player in the start of the disdain. Arlo Pro 2s were beloved by most, and I think got most peopl
