Arlo Go

Less than Junk – The primary function of this security camera is to capture images. Arlo cannot be used at night and during the day. There is no setting to allow the exposure to automatically adjust and hence a setting for day exposure will render the camera useless at night and vice versa. The app is clunky and that same exposure setting cant be adjusted on the… Read more

app. So even if I do get a motion sensor to go off at night, I cant see the image and can't adjust the contrast from the app because the function of the slider is not working.

Two function authentication on the computer is also cumbersome and ineffective. Why can't Arlo develop a trusted device function for the browser.

UPDATE!!! after 3 months it has just stopped working. sim card has plenty of data and works on other devices. Device won't connect to the internet, No internet no connection.. Device won't work on Wifi, usb or any other method to connect. method to reset to factory settings doesn't work. Poor quality product

Waste of _ Time and Money – Arlo Go sounded the ideal solution to monitor the door of an elderly relative who lived interstate and was feeling insecure. In a Telstra 4G four bar location, the camera would not connect. Telstra helped to establish the SIM worked. Hours were spent on telephone to Arlo Support. Once what appeared to be the agent's templated "assistance" was… Read more

exhausted, no further offer of technical assistance or product replacement or refund was forthcoming. A request to the retailer for redress received no response. Were it not that the relative has since been diagnosed with a terminal illness, I would have pursued both companies through the legal processes they deserve. Over $600 (with necessary accessories) and many hours wasted. Avoid like the plague!

Arlo GO is a worthless, useless & expensive Netgear failure! – We purchased the Arlo Go camera plus an Arlo Solar Panel charger 13 months ago for our rural property which has 5 Bar 4G coverage. From Day 1 there were problems! Once installed, the battery was dying after just 4 days (the '2 months' claimed by Netgear & Arlo was established to be totally false and later removed) & the Arlo Solar Panel wasn't… Read more

working at all & later established it was dead on arrival.

Arlo replaced both the faulty Solar panel & the Go's "faulty" battery & after hundreds upon hundreds of kilometres driving back & forth, we had to abandon any hope of ever using the Arlo GO for the purpose for which it was purchased because even with the Arlo Solar Panel working and the new battery, the best we could get was under a week before we had to drive out, bring it home & recharge for several hours, then drive back out & repeat over & over every week!

Since then, the Arlo Go costs me $10 a month for the SIM Card (on a 24 month contract) while it sits in a box in our garage, the charging port on the back of the Arlo GO is now faulty & rarely ever works after being used in the rain once!

To add insult to injury, Netgear has now totally disowned their Arlo mistake entirely & the free Arlo App/software has now been deliberately sabotaged & no longer works as it did UNLESS you now pay Arlo a minimum AU$180 a year for its Arlo Smart Subscription service.

Do not waste 1 cent on this garbage!

Piece of junk – I bought an Arlo Go security camera with a solar panel charger for a building site. Works off a sim card and the solar panel charger. Concept is great but Netgear have a tweak in the software to not accept any charger not genuine, but it doesn't recognise its own solar charger. The battery wont charge past 30 % even with a wall charger. Netgear… Read more

support is a joke, when it became too difficult to troubleshoot they stopped communication with me. I have since returned it for a full refund to Officeworks.
