“they do work pretty well once connected”
“Arlo's customer service is aweful never buy this product..”
“The Pro5S are good, but at times the compression seems questionable. I don't thinks I have seen that on my Pro3 floodlight. There are random connection issues. I can get it to reconnect with an alarm mode change, but if you don't have the alarm I'm not quite sure how long it would last.”
“A total scam! Would not purchase this again. Pretty shoddy software also”
“These cameras are great! Cheap and reliable.”
“Tbh, 1080p is not bad at all. Wastes less space on local storage too.”
“I think the cameras a great but tech support is pretty weak”
“The premium price for the physical product, is in no way justified, if you take away the functionality enabled by subscription.”
“love Arlo cameras”

“Stay away from Arlo! This company offers NO phone support whatsoever and their app is horrible!”
“Awesome review!!, you actually show what it looks like with person walking around in day and night!”
“This is TRASH.”
“FYI I’ve got 4 Pro5S cameras running non stop for the past year without any issues. There are many of us who have no complaints with Arlo, perhaps other than the slightly higher subscription fees.”
“Get a wired system and stop hating! All wireless systems are similar.”
“Arlo is terrible... I've had the pro 5s for about 4 months and that thing is nothing but problems..”
“I just received my Arlo Pro 5S and couldn’t connect it to my phone at all”
“I'm ditching Arlo and moving to a more professional setup.”
“THIS CAMERA IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST PURCHASE IVE EVER MADE”
“my arlo pro 5s 2k is not supported in the app”
“TRASH CAMERA, WONT CONNECT. I RETURNED”
“I'm so frustrated that I'm tempted to just return the whole set. Worthless.”
“if that is 2k , then i am a wealthy , fit male with lots of money.....”
“If you like stress and dissatisfaction go ahead and purchase an Arlo.”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
