Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 612 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported that the products, including doorbells and cameras, stopped working or had significant issues like lagging, freezing, or failing to record. Reviewers also found the customer service to be unhelpful, unresponsive, and difficult to reach, often referring them to departments that provided no real assistance. A significant number of people were dissatisfied with the subscription model, noting that it was expensive and often required even after purchasing the camera, making the devices useless without it. However, some customers also noted that certain products, like the Arlo doorbell camera and Ultra 3 camera, worked well, were easy to install, and offered good video quality and features. A few other people also felt that the app was easy to use and provided clear video, with some even praising the customer service for smooth onboarding and helpfulness.

Sold a security dream, got a monitoring nightmare !

So. 3 - 4 years of 'use'. Intermittent connectivity. Variable recognition of mobiles for proximity activitation. Inconsistent system recognition of changing 'ststus' subject to activity. Genrally a very poor experience. We are remote but have full fibre to our home but signal still takes upwards of 45 seconds to recognise and notify. Verbal interaction is pretty much impossible. Subscription cancelled and invested in enhanced insurance cover for less than 1/2 the saving.

I would HIGHLY recommend you AVOID this company

After purchasing the camera, you are quickly encouraged to sign up to a year long Subscription despite paying a fair bit for camera itself. After about six months, expect it to stop working - if you look through other reviews, this is not uncommon. You then have the pleasure of spending three weeks of back-and-forth with customer support. Eventually they may agree to send you out a replacement, but unfortunately your old Subscription is not transferable to the new device, and you are encouraged to purchase another one.

All in all an awful company and I would discourage anyone ever working with them or buying from them

If I could give the less than 1 star then I would. Verisure came out to set me up with Arlo security and couldn’t even connect to their own servers so then left me waiting for 2 weeks with no security at all because they had taken down my ring doorbell. Not impressed. Don’t fall for it.

Received a message to update my previous review. The company indicated I should have gone to my.arlo.com to get support, as if I hadn't tried that. There is no support option available at that address. If arlo believes providing customers with product support after sale is important, I recommend they assign an employee to try and reach support. Document all the steps they fo through and the time wasted before they give up. Maybe then they will find the holes in their workflow and invest in closing them

Arlo Ultra 2 XL

Arlo Ultra 2 XL, Arlo 2K Video Doorbell & SmartHub — Long‑Term Review (Tested Aug 2025–Jun 2026)

After running three Arlo Ultra 2 XL cameras and one Arlo 2K Video Doorbell, all connected to a single SmartHub and paired with the Secure Plus subscription (£19.99/month), this is a full breakdown of real‑world performance. The subscription includes cloud history, AI detection, and unlimited devices, but does not include continuous video recording — that costs £10.99 per camera for 14‑day CVR.

Overall Verdict

Arlo’s hardware is strong for daytime use. Image quality is excellent, and the system integrates well with smart displays. However, the AI performance, motion detection reliability, and app experience fall short of expectations at this price point. Night performance and playback limitations are the biggest weaknesses.

Battery Life of Arlo Ultra 2 XL

Arlo advertises 365‑day battery life, but this is only realistic in low‑activity areas with reduced settings. In real‑world use with full functionality enabled, battery life has been 1–3 months, depending on activity levels. High‑traffic zones drain the battery significantly faster.

Positives

Daytime Image Quality

During the day, the Ultra 2 XL cameras deliver sharp, detailed footage. Capturing faces, vehicles, and even registration plates (in daylight) is very achievable.

Animal Detection

The cameras reliably detect animals even small birds which can be impressive.

Doorbell Performance

The 2K Video Doorbell works well within its 4‑metre detection range, calls your phone quickly, and integrates smoothly with TVs and smart screens for live video and audio.

Mixed or Underwhelming Performance

Night Vision

Night footage is reasonable, but detail detection drops significantly. Identifying faces or plates at night is inconsistent unless subjects are very close.

AI Capabilities

Arlo markets its AI heavily, but in practice it feels entry‑level:

Face Recognition: Despite being enabled since August, it has never identified a family member.

Vehicle Recognition: Even with a clear view of a known car, the system often labels it as multiple different vehicles and colours. (Number plate recognition is not supported.)

Motion Classification: Trees moving in the wind are sometimes flagged as vehicles.

Motion Detection Reliability

This is one of the system’s biggest weaknesses:

Detection can be slow, causing recordings to miss the start of events.

Motion range is limited to 7.5 metres (25 ft), making placement critical.

At night, capturing registration plates is unlikely unless the camera is very close.

The system often fails to maintain continuous recording, even when set to “record until motion stops”.

This can result in short, fragmented clips and missed moments, especially with slow or subtle movement (e.g., a dog walking around the garden)

Recording Behaviour

Although the setting allows recording until motion stops (up to 5 minutes), the cameras often stop early unless the movement is dramatic. This is worse at night and at longer distances.

App Experience & Playback

The app is also a weak part of the ecosystem:

Playback frequently glitches, freezes, or plays audio only

Expanding to fullscreen can cause the video to go black

Occasional green pixelation or full video blanking, usually blamed on “connection issues”

No slow‑scroll or frame‑by‑frame scrubbing

Pausing a video and scrolling causes it to auto‑play, making precise review difficult

Filtering and timeline navigation feel outdated and unintuitive

For a premium subscription service, the app experience feels several years behind competitors.

Key Limitations to Consider

No continuous recording unless you pay £10.99 per camera

AI is inconsistent and often inaccurate

Night performance is limited for identification

Motion detection range is short (7.5m)

App reliability issues impact usability

Recordings frequently split or stop early

Conclusion

The Arlo Ultra 2 XL cameras and 2K Video Doorbell offer excellent daytime clarity, but the software and AI do not match the premium pricing. For general monitoring, they’re fine. For serious security, especially at night or where reliable AI detection is needed, the system feels limited.

If Arlo improves its app stability system capabilities and AI accuracy, this could be a top‑tier system. As it stands, it’s a good but flawed setup with notable gaps in reliability.

Dear Kurt,

We sincerely appreciate you sharing such detailed feedback about your experience with your Arlo products, both with us and with other customers. Thank you as well for highlighting the image quality, advanced detection features, and integration with smart home systems.

Battery life can indeed vary depending on usage, environmental conditions, and device settings. For helpful tips on how to extend your camera’s battery life, please visit: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/291/how-can-i-extend-my-arlo-camera-s-battery-life

Reduced image quality at night with night vision enabled may be affected by several factors, such as the camera pointing towards reflective surfaces or towards another camera or device with infrared LEDs. For more tips, please visit: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000063069/night-vision-is-not-working-on-my-arlo-camera-what-do-i-do

If you’ve noticed that your devices start recording with a delay, we recommend checking their Wi-Fi signal strength and your internet upload speed, as both can contribute to this behaviour. You can perform a speed test here: https://www.speedtest.net

You may also want to check the devices' motion sensitivity and increase it if needed:

1. Launch the Arlo Secure App
2. Tap Devices
3. Tap the gear icon
4. Tap Default Mode Settings
5. Move the Motion Detection slider left or right to change the motion detection sensitivity level.

If your Arlo Secure app frequently glitches or freezes, please try uninstalling and reinstalling it. You may also want to clear the app’s cache and data, if this option is available on your device.

Our customer service team would be happy to take a closer look at all the challenges you described, including Smart Notifications misidentifying objects and vehicle or person recognition not working as expected.

6 yrs long-term Arlo customer desaster - paid subscription (~CHF 15/month).

My experience:

• Multiple hardware-related issues over time
• Several-month outage of local storage functionality
• Recurring offline and connectivity problems
• Temporary loss of access to cloud recordings
• Base station and multiple cameras suddenly disappeared from my account
• Full system reinstallation required multiple times
• Cameras had to be re-paired and completely reconfigured from scratch
• Repeated physical access required (ladder/roof work due to mounting positions)
• Numerous support contacts and lengthy back-and-forth communication
• Issues were initially attributed to other causes instead of system/service faults

Arlo resolution:

• Final goodwill offer: 50% discount for 6 months (approx. CHF 45 total value)

Conclusion:

A security system must be reliable. In my experience, this was not consistently the case over several years. The amount of time, physical effort, and repeated system failures are not proportionate to the ongoing subscription cost. For a paid security service, the overall reliability and support response did not meet expectations.

Latest app update is a disaster zone…

Latest app update is a disaster zone and deserves its own social fundraising page as reading through here, the support appears to be woeful.

I can no longer use my cameras the way I want to because all of the familiar settings have been replaced with new Arlo menus and options that are completely unrecognisable. What used to be straightforward and intuitive is now confusing, making even simple adjustments unnecessarily difficult.

To make matters worse, the app constantly bombards me with warnings telling me that I need to subscribe to a plan if I want to view 30 days of video recordings. These notifications appear to be permanent and cannot be disabled. Every time I open the app or view any of my devices, I'm forced to see the same subscription prompts again and again.

I purchased the cameras to monitor my property, not to be repeatedly pressured into upgrading my account. The combination of the redesigned menus, removed functionality, and relentless subscription advertising has significantly reduced the usability of the system. Instead of improving the user experience, this update has made managing my cameras far more frustrating and time-consuming than it needs to be.

Hidden cost

I received my Arlo doorbell as a birthday present and was delighted. I am not tech savy but it was easy to install and set up.

However I then discovered that after a three month free trial, Arlo were asking for around £12 for my service. Spending around £150pa to answer my doorbell is not my priority!

Dear Craig,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad that you've found your Arlo Video Doorbell easy to set up.

Please note that the need for an Arlo Secure subscription after the initial trial expires, in order to continue using advanced smart features and cloud recording with our newest products, including our Video Doorbells, is stated both on our product packaging and on our website. You can learn more about all the benefits included with Arlo Secure, designed to enhance security and provide added peace of mind, on our website: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/serviceplans

Also, please keep in mind that by choosing an annual plan instead of a monthly one, you get 1 year free.

Even without a subscription, your Video Doorbell will keep these functionalities:

• Live Streaming
• Push Notifications
• Two-way Audio

Receiving a SIP call when a visitor presses your Video Doorbell and answering it also does not require an Arlo Secure plan.

If you have any other concerns or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team. You can do so by visiting our support page: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support

Local storage is available on a microSD card with the VMB5000 SmartHub and on a USB device with the VMB4540, VMB4500, and VMB4000 base station/SmartHub models. All Arlo Essential Video Doorbells can record locally only when synced to one of the above-mentioned base stations or SmartHubs, as they do not have a built-in local storage option.

ARLO IS RUBBISH

Had one CCTV installed through VERISURE. Never worked from day 1. They advised hard wiring it to avoid having to climb up a ladder to take it down for charging. After first report of not recording they blamed my WiFi when camera was faulty. Replacement still not working despite now having 1600 mbps speed. Just spoke to a patronising guy at ARLO who advised initially there was no problem as I had restarted camera and it connected. I explained I shouldn’t have to keep restarting when I realise it hasn’t filmed for days! Then said camera shouldn’t be hard wired despite VERISURE saying that it’s best hard wired. In essence ARLO cameras are rubbish - never had this issue with Ring so getting an outdoor Ring cam installed instead. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH ARLO!
