I've had a long-standing suspicion about my Karen-of-a-neighbor's misdeeds, and boy, was I right! Thanks to the Arlo Ultra 2, I finally have the proof I needed. It not only caught her dogs doing their business on my lawn but also exposed her doing something I can't unsee. Let's just say she was mooning the world with her pants down.
The image quality is so good that I could practically count the daisies on her underwear. It's like watching an episode of 'America's Funniest Home Videos,' except my yard is the stage. I've never laughed so hard and simultaneously cringed in my life.
But hey, it's not all about my neighbor's embarrassing escapades. The Arlo Ultra 2 is a top-notch security camera too! With its spotlights and advanced features, it's like having a mini Hollywood set in my backyard. And the best part? It's super easy to set up and control, even for tech-challenged folks like me.
So, if you're tired of boring security cameras and want some entertainment with a side of surveillance, the Arlo Ultra 2 Spotlight Camera is the way to go. Trust me, you'll never look at your neighborhood the same way again!"
L
The issue is the software/platform (both the app and the web front end for managing the system), which is absolutely terrible. It's buggy. You can only be logged in one device at a time (which is absurd in 2022). The alerts/notifications are not smart — if there's ANY activity that lasts for a period of time, it will continuously send new alerts every 30 seconds or so, rather than recognizing it as one continuous event. We've been doing yard work in the backyard on weekends, and after one single day, it registered 270+ alerts... which also had the side-effect of completely draining the battery. If a tree moves, an alert is triggered. If a tree casts a shadow that moves, it triggers an alert. There are "Smart Notification" settings that claim to allow you to limit notifications to detected people, vehicles, animals, or all motion — but those settings do absolutely nothing... you're going to get an alert, no matter what. The app will also ostensibly allow you to draw in "Activity Zones," which are supposed to let you specify which areas in the field of view you want monitored — these also are pointless, because I am constantly getting alerts for motion OUTSIDE the activity zone. I've tried repeatedly to set up HomeKit, too, and it fails every time (a common issue, as my online troubleshooting efforts have shown) to the point where I've simply given up.
Given the initial price of the units and, especially, the absurdly high cost of the subscription that is required to get full functionality, it's absolutely unacceptable how poorly the system works. I wholeheartedly regret buying Arlo. I've had a Ring video doorbell for probably four years now, and aside from having to replace the first one after the button was destroyed by an overzealous visitor, I've had zero issues with its reliability. As soon as I can stomach spending even MORE money on video security, I'll probably go with their outdoor camera products and throw away the Arlo system. It's literally that bad.
There may be some possibility for the hardware, but as long as it's tied to the poor-functioning software that it currently is built on, it's just garbage. Full stop.
UPDATE (Feb 2024): I finally gave up on Arlo. After having to reset the base station to re-establish connection to the cameras AT LEAST 3x per week for a year, I tossed the entire system into the trash and canceled my plan. Total garbage. During this period, I've also had a Ring Wired Doorbell Pro, and I couldn't help but notice it has been rock solid — especially by comparison. So I picked up the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro Wired which, despite an absurdly long name, has worked perfectly. Better features, better image quality (despite not claiming to be 4K as this Arlo system does) and not a single disconnect since I installed it (which was over three weeks ago). My advice is... don't waste your time (or money) with Arlo.

Update: After testing the product for 1 year... Batteries last 1 to 2 weeks. Motion recording always delayed. Sometimes the recording event has already ended and it is not possible to see what activated the recording. Another important point, it is not possible to access the SD card recordings in a web browser, only through the manufacturer's app. I do not recommend this product.
