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
We bought the cameras for my elderly mum who lives on her own. Not living near her, it brought a great sense of relief to be able to ensure she is well when I cannot contact her.
Thank you.

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.

No support unless you pay and the app update has stopped me accessing my cameras!!! Very angry x customer I'm off to buy a different make. Useless company and equipment is very poor quality.

Respuesta de Arlo Security | United Kingdom
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.

We are having problems and wish to speak to someone
We have tried on numerous occasions to send a log report etc and to reach out to you support centre via emails to no avail.
Unfortunately this company appears to have no or little method of contacting them via a telephone
Very poor customer service

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.

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!

Respuesta de Arlo Security | United Kingdom
Have snart hub 4. Doorbell does not allow viewing of video stored locally. Would have to soend either £12 a month on online storage or buy new hub for£120, cannot upgrade existing smart hub. No mention of this in general product spec. Only in small print detail.

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!

Cameras 3 years old. My Tapo camera, which cost less, picks up more movement than the door camera! Solar Camera on back of house not clear and fuzzy. Told to clamber up myself and reset it. £60pm subscription and told cameras belong to them so if I cancel they take the goods or I can keep them for £10pm with no usage! Wished I'd never gone with them. Last agent was horrible.
