Arlo Ultra Surprised Me… Arlo Ultra vs Arlo Pro 2

We've left Arlo Pro and we are now in the Age of Ultra... What's next? Arlo Infinity? 🤓

Mine is always offline, unreliable security camera, waste of money

Many Thanks for this video

Highly over priced. For basic crap clarity u r paying too much. No storage also

If it’s in color, it’s NOT IR night vision. So of course the clarity is going to be better than the Pro 2’s night vision 🤦

In general. Arlo is a COMPLETE RIPOFF! I wasted $400 on a 3 camera set of the Arlo Essentials cameras. Yes, they’re okay cameras. But NOT $400 worth of camera. No cloud without paying, no viewing from a remote location free. There is absolutely NO VALUE to these cameras at all. I was such a huge fan of NetGear. Now I’m ashamed of even purchasing the Arlo cameras. Bye bye $400 and if I had planned on spending bookoos of money for the rest of my life, sure Arlo would be a good way to do it. I just using what I already had. I was already using Geeni cams at one of my properties and was mostly satisfied with them. Now I’m 150% satisfied. I have 11 cameras, smart switches, PTZ cams, door bell cam, Wi-Fi cam flood light. Anything and everything better than the Arlo cam. Best part, for about the same amount of money I had got all that I just mentioned and 15/16 multi-color light bulbs (Wi-Fi connected) and everything I have now is in 1 app and I don’t have to pay for cloud storage if I don’t want to. I can, but I don’t. I get still images free, and the SD card option in my cameras.

Long story short, Arlo is a Ripoff, and Geeni is the way to go. Period.

I was honestly looking for one of the answers I got in your video 😃 thank you

Arlo has the worst customer service. I believe they are trying to drop support for older cameras to help sell the new cameras to existing and new customers. Bad practice, again in my opinion.

That arlo is identical to one that I bought for 67.00 but mine has two buttons on the sides to open the over and the camera itself has the magnet which is pretty amazing I am getting two more. Sorry they sale it without a brand name

Arlo Ultra is actually awesome.. I got mine off of RatedGadgets and never looked back!

can you turn off the siren ?

Thanks for the great review. Arlo Pro2 was my first camera setup and I am constantly frustrated with it consistently missing important footage when motion should be captured or missing footage between back-to-back motion recordings. It seems like the buggy software you mentioned. Do you have this problem with the Ultra?

The Ultra quality looks so much better but I have serious hesitations about giving Arlo any more of my money.

I got the Arlo ultra 2, I cannot pull the battery out, is there a trick to pulling it out?

Thank you for the license plate test! That's a much better example than most do.

What seems remarkable is that camera RANGE is never reviewed. It seems like camera range is as important as resolution. Why am I such a curmudgeon here? Because the Arlo Ultra is so amazingly inferior to any other Arlo camera in terms of RANGE that any review should have discovered this. I'd recommend adding a new metric to your evaluations.

Buyer beware! If you don't have direct connection to a power source (i.e. plugged in) or a subscription plan, this thing won't record to a local storage. This renders the SOLAR PANEL accessory useless so don't buy the accessory at least. It was good for when I had the 3 month trial subscription. The minute I chose not to renew the subscription the cameras became duds as I couldn't do wiring to have the plugged in setup but unfortunately wasted money on the solar panels. My 2 cents!

assembled in Vietnam, exported to Europe

Arlo suck. There arlo smart hub doesn’t even have usb to connect a hard drive to store video or they didn’t even add a sd card on there cameras to record in case you have down internet or power outages.
But they are forcing you to pay for their full service. And if u don’t pay u get half of a red Brick device. Scammer.

And it doesn’t even have WiFi.
It need to be connected to the router. If U have a large house and your camera is in the front yard door. And the other is in your back yard door.And your router and hub is in your work office room about 100 yard away.
How much lag is there. You can’t put the hub in the middle of the room. So each camera can have a good signal without delays

That is a life or Death situation. It takes a second for some1 to break into your house or steal something. Before u even get the Notification.

This guy doesn’t reply to anyone lmao

magic tricks

I want 6 of them!!!

How often does the battery in each camera need to be changed/charged with the wireless version?

Thank you I was thinking about buying the ultra, very helpful and informative

typical of netgear/arlo, nice hardware, but horrible software and even worse is their customer service as they DGAF.

Thanks for the video. I noticed that the Arlo cameras are missing a lot. Is there a way to adjust the Pre-Recording time? I have noticed that I will miss something when I hear a cat outside. Thank you again!

excellent Review!!!

I have Arlo Pro two I just bought Arlo ultra set is there a way to put a second app on your device to be able to work with both Arlos

I kinda prefer infrared light than a regular light because its more lowkey and criminals cant see it

According to arlo, It is now compatibly with previous base stations..

I just bought the ultra but would not consider the 'colour' night vision a feature as it casts light. not exactly night vision just a spotlight it shines.

Why do people insist on doing 4k security camera reviews but only upload in 1080 p and then try to show 4k in 1080p

Nice review. Seems really balanced despite getting a $xxx camera for free, but highlights the better features of the Ultra. I didn't know about the SD card on the Ultra. Wish there was a bit more about that in the video - 7day or permanent, working now or future upgrade?

Hi. I is possible integrate a wifi sonoff camera with smarthings?

my question is why the hell do you need to pay a subscription for this? Why can't I just have it as a private home wifi based camera. I don't care about storing the in the cloud. I would rather them just having a unit with expandable hard drives that you can use to store and access over the internet.

垃圾产品，太多问题了

Si ya cuentas con una estación base y quieres una cámara adicional, yo vendo una en México por Mercado Libre, busca: "Arlo Pro 2 - Cámara De Seguridad, Wifi, 1080p / Adicional"... Gracias

DO NOT BUY ARLO ULTRA !!!

I am really disappointed with Arlo products and customer service.
I have a battery problem with my brand new Arlo Ultra, the battery hold only 48 hours, no more. I have maximum 10 minutes of footage per day. The battery suppose to hold 2 months at least! All specs are on lowest possible, save battery mode, etc.
I tried for many time to contact Arlo, Facebook, email, messenger, etc, but it's always the same message:

"In order for us to be able to provide recommendation with the battery draining problem with your system, further investigation about this matter is needed to understand it better. Our Customer Care Team can contact you anytime. Please provide us your preferred callback information and we'll send a request with the appropriate team to contact you directly for assistance. We look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!"

I gave all my contacts, email, mobile, etc, but I still waiting for the customer service to contact me, but I lost all my hope that my problem will be solved.
I can't understand how a company like that do this kind of thing with a customer.
I really regret to spend $1000 of my money
I will do my best to make sure to inform future possible buyers about my issue, I don't want anyone to have the same headache. 🙁

it needs a sim slot - gps tracker on each camera, Like a mobile you can hunt down who stole it, because lets be honest they are so easy to steel.

What a real SHAME that this company is capable of making a better camera than the previous one and make is so incompatible with their on products. That in it self is definitely a deal braker and I will stay away from them.
Its 4K looks good, so its 180 degree angle but too many incompatibility issues.
I think they have taken the Sony Action Cam approach on being unnecessarily problematic.
Thanks for review.

Great video - thanks for making it quick and informative. Also - you need to dust off your grill.

Can any Arlo camera can be moved with a remote/app?

How many Arlo Ultra can connect to hub?

What is battery life on ultra?

Great review. Are you able to access and/or save footage if connected to a local network? Ideally, I would like to be able to review footage, whilst still recording simultaneously. Keep up the good work!

Which do you use for your home currently

Is it possible to just watch live streaming on tv, like leave it open and watch live constantly? Thanks for your reply. About Arlo Ultra
