    Arlo Essential 2nd Gen review

    I give these cameras 3 stars for the following reasons . The video qaulity is decent , but It doesn't look 2K to me . The sound has a weird echo/feedback quality that almost sounds like its recording in a cave . There is no adjustment for the sensitivity level of the sound activation , so every gust of wind causes the cameras to record thus draining battery levels . These are sealed units , so there is no way to swap out batteries like the Pro Models . I guess when the battery fails , you throw them away , or have to mail them in for service . You also have to aim them away from the wall of the house if you have reflective brick , or siding , or the spotlight reflection blinds the camera . They get the job done , but I like my Pro and Pro 2 cameras better .

    Mounts are stationary and limit the placement. You must purchase different mounts to enable angled camera use.
