I’ve been using Arlo for around 7 years. Ultra 2’s and Pro’s. Just added a doorbell. I have had 3 other systems prior. It’s been virtually trouble free. Any issues I’ve had, Arlo has been helpful.

I have Arlo Ultra 2 cameras and the 5000 base station and an essential and 2 pro 4s along with a wifi doorbell. All working well together over WiFi to base. However, I am switching to NVR system to save on subscription fees.

done this already, TEN times each camera, still nothing. they clearly have disabled the support. two of them becoming completely useless at the identical time following a base station reboot, they locked them out. If you have VMC3030's that still work, count your days, they will stop soon too. (yes

Mine only had this sporadic with the camera’s connected to my own wifi (doorbell and pro4’s) The ultra and ultra2’s have it more frequently, my guess is the base stations are garbage and don’t have a good reconnect mechanism. What normally works is rebooting the base station here, but not always (ha

I moved to Dahua, or more am moving, one camera in front of our house at the moment as I need to wire them (new system is poe). The 4k or pro4 arlo camera vs a 4mp real camera is crazy, bitrate settings, night time quality make it that I can see it is a car on Arlo, but read the license plate on my

I too have just bought a couple of Reolinks - more for extra coverage than to replace my Ultra 2s but I do like the auto-tracking and zoom of the Ultra 2s but I hate the constant arm-twisting to get me to sign up for another "plan" from Arlo . .

+1 Our family has been using Arlo for about six years now… even upgraded the entire set of cameras to the Ultra 2 + added the doorbell. I don’t know what to tell anyone, but it just works for us. I know there are products with better features, but this meets our needs atm. 🤷♂️

Yes. I have few ultra 2 and the hub but i can’t see records from hub only if i am connected on home wifi. I have subscription only for one camera and its give many false object recognition (almoust all leafs moves as vehicle, animals or people). If you have subscription it can’t record 4k on hub, ev

I've gone outside to check several times at night when the IR lights would be on, and 3-4 feet from the camera I have not heard a clicking noise. I am unable to get closer unless I use a ladder, so its possible there is still a clicking noise closer to the camera. Battery - I am using it outdoors wi
