Are Arlo cameras good?

prahalagu — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 09:51:10 GMT

I recently purchased a home and am in need a home camera system. I’ve been looking into the Pro 4 from Arlo with a smart hub because I don’t want to pay for subscriptions and they seem like pretty decent cameras for the price. I’ve read great things and I’ve read bad things. I just want to hear some more experiences everyone’s had. Thanks!

Hello!

The Arlo Pro 4 with Smart Hub is a solid choice for those avoiding subscriptions, offering live view, motion alerts, and local storage via microSD or USB. While it lacks cloud backup and advanced AI features without a plan, many users find it reliable for basic home monitoring. Just ensure your hub supports local recording and remote access if needed.

My advice is to always do proper research. This means reading reviews (both of the product and also customer support) to make an informed decision.

I am happy with the cameras however the price for 2 cameras to operate monthly is ridiculous! I would like to have service on these cameras but at the price you ask, it is a NO!

RING charges me $100 a year for 5 cameras and you want to charge me 39 a month FOR 2!!! That will never happen!
