Looks like a great security camera.I especially like the fact its wireless, rechargeable batteries and the fact that you can get a solar panel to add to its rechargeable feature. Excellent video.
My husband and I just recently purchased a new home and have been having a hard time choosing a security system for our new home. Your video definitely cleared up many questions that we had and even answered some we didn’t know we had. You were so much more helpful then some of the employees we questioned in the store.
Good job on doing the comparisons. We have had our Arlo Pro for several years and have been pleased. Did notice in your video that Ultra was definitely better than the other two. Will be sharing your video on Facebook. Have several people on the fence on what to buy. This will definitely help them make a decision. Thanks!!
Thanks for comparing these three camera systems. I've been going back and forth between the 3 and Ultra, but thanks to your video I believe the Ultra is definitely better for my needs.
Thank you for the excellent review. I have the Pro 2 and have been happy with the audio and color. My audio seems to be much stronger than that shown in your presentation. The features of the Ultra have me longing to upgrade. The main feature is the built in spot light and the charging port. They are outstanding.
I'm sure most potential buyers are looking over and trying to decide which upgrade to get, the Ultra or the Pro 3. After going over everything I believe the Pro 3 will be the better option for me. 2 deciding factors, you have to pay extra for the Ultra 4K. Per Arlo website, cloud storage of 4K resolution video clips requires add-on subscription ($2 per camera) above the normal smart plan price. Also 4K streaming requires the Arlo app and Ultra camera to be on the same local network. I believe that means you probably have to be at home to view actual 4K footage. Steve I'm sure you probably covered this but with Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, just wanted to make people aware just in case they were on the fence about the two cameras.
I have 5 camera s also would like more but dont want a monthly cost. Like the cameras. Do you know of any way of getting more cameras without monthly cost? Thank you
Appreciate you taking the time to do the in depth comparison mate. I like the 3 simple for the USB connect I can hook to my 4 TB storage. I don’t really need to talk to someone 30 feet away😀. Thanks again 🙏
Great video! I liked how you took the time to show us all 3cameras views. Your videos are every descriptive, which makes it easy to follow and understand and not loose interest. I watched it from beginning to end. I subscribed and hit the bell notifications to all your videos and commented. I was looking to buy either of those cameras, and with what I saw from your video and the one that fits my need is the Pro 3. Thanks again. GREAT VIDEO!
We just moved to an area with lots of dangerous wildlife in the mountains just above us. We are looking for a wireless camera system that can help us see if anything is in our yard before our children play outside. Thank you for the time you took to make this informative video comparison. We live in Northern Montana, and are considering either the Ultra or Pro 3 models.
I am looking for the camera with the best (furthest and clearest) night vision when the spotlight is off..still deciding. Thank you for the video comparisons.
Very informative. I've been considering Arlo for several months after seeing a friend's system. I have been very disappointed in my current Swann system. Thank you!
Been researching camera systems lately to update my existing one, and because of the weird angles and obstructions i have at home wireless cameras are at the top of my list. This review has definitely helped me put arlo at the top of my list.
Great comparison video.....TY....currently have the Pro 2.....not satisfied with the video definition or audio ready to upgrade to the Ultra.....TY for helping me do the comparison.
Like the pro3 for a better entry door camera with the spot light - thinking of adding to my 4 camera arlo Pro2 setup. Not sure I want to pay for the required video service.
Thank you for this video. I was all set to return my Arlo Pro 3 and get a Pro 2 instead. the main reason was because of the 7 days free versus the 30 day paid subscription. After watching your video, the improvements that you showed are worth the extra money. All the other reviews only "Talk" about how the 3 is "Mildly" better image quality but not "worth" the extra cost. Your review makes there improvements clear and I will be keeping my 3 and maybe even opting for an Ultra to add to my system. I also love that you included talk about the base. Something nobody else has done. Thank you so much for this excellent video which I saw on Amazon when looking at Arlo Pro 2's.
Great reviews. First time I dove off that cliff into the water is at 16 years old… The one on your computers in background. My parents are from that island. Zakinthos-Zante spent many summers on the island.
Thanks for the comparison it really helped. When I first looked on Arlo’s website, I wanted the Arlo Pro 3. But I wanted an accurate comparison before buying. Great job!
Liked your review. I just bought 4 Esential cameras for indoor use. I already saw your video on the essential camera. Tomorrow I will set them up. Thanks
When you say you plugged in an external hard drive to back up your bay station would you even need a subscription to save your footage? I have Arlo pro 2 Cameras
I was wondering the same thing. I would think it wouldn't be necessary to have the subscription if you're backing everything up to an external hard drive.. however I am not sure if some of the alert features are accessible without the subscription.
If you want the special features like Advanced Object detection, Package detection, activity zones and intelligent alerts then you will need to get the subscription.
Thank you for your comparisons. I have one of the original Arlos and am looking to update/upgrade my setup. This gives me a better idea of which version I should go with.
I have a couple of the Arlos. I was looking at upgrading thought about the Pro 2. Now after watching your video. I think im gonna go with a Pro 3. Would love to have 2 more as well to replace the regular Arlos.
Great comparison video. Was debating whether to get an Arlo Pro 3 or the eufy. I would also love to see you do a video on the new Arlo Video Doorbell. Thanks.
Sadly no. However I did talk to Arlo about this. They said the delay is mostly do to the fact that the app has to pull most of its data from the cloud. They are working on an app update that will allow us to bypass the cloud and access the local data on the base station instead. Now they didn’t say this but, I’m hoping that will improve app load times over all their hardware.
@@SteveDOES is there a way to disable some/all of the smart features so we can faster notifications of any motion? I'd like to be able to set my activity zone and see whatever happens in that zone without all the delayed processing then getting a 10 sec notification delay.
@@willg6997 I asked Arlo the same thing because i know some people might prefer faster notifications to actual person detection. As of 6 months ago they said it wasn't an option and it still isn't. BUT i wonder when my 1 year Smart subscription plan ends and i no longer have person detection if the notifications would be much faster. I should know in late January.
Great video, Thanks - I do need your help with missing topics: Wireless Range, how far can a camera be away from the base (i.e. camera outside of the garage with 4 walls and 130 feet from the base unite, will the camera function normally? 2nd, how long doe the battery last when motion detection is on.
Unfortunately, I am in New Zealand, I have 6 x cameras in Arlo Pro 2 with the base set. It has been operating full time for over 18 months and I have been very pleased with it. Enjoyed your comparisons and the notifications on my cell phone do give peace of mind. Arlo Pro 3 looks like a good upgrade option for the future.
This is one of the best info videos I have seen on You Tube. I usually look at wood-turning videos for tutelage but none compare to this video. Great job!
I currently have the Arlo 2 and we have upgraded to the Ultra after a remodel. We own an Electrical Conntracting business and on fb sites I am always recommending these cameras when people are searching for info.
Found your video because I am looking to purchase an Arlo wireless camera system for my parents. I currently have Arlo Pro 2 and love(d) it until I saw your video. I've enjoyed the Arlo Pro 2 and had no issues with it at all. However, I am now, thinking of giving parents my Arlo Pro 2 (5 cameras) and purchasing the Arlo Ultra - loved the quality and especially the sound. Thank you for displaying all three of these cameras side by side for the comparison! The Arlo Pro 3 looks great too and I especially love the recharge method on it. You didn't show how the Arlo Ultra charges - assuming it charges the same way the Arlo Pro 3 does? Thanks again for the video
Just purchased the Pro 3 with two cameras. Easy to sync cameras with base. The one issue I had was the magnetic mount has a very small screw for mounting.
Currently working with the Arlo Pro 2 and it performs well and until some of the prices of the newer Alro camera systems come down in price - I can still recommend the Pro 2. Audio is the biggest difference. Love the new charging port on the Pro 3 - that is a great idea - thanks for the information.
just starting to do my research and thank you I am not as confused. I am 86 years of living and have been leaning to the pro 3 but maybe the 2 will work for me . Like the 7 day of free viewing with the 2. Have had the ring doorbell for 4 years or so and has been ok.
I have been looking at Arlo and other brands for a couple of years but waiting for the right features and cost before buying. This comparison was very helpful.
Like there are so many great reviews for the pro 2 on the web, Amazon has thousands of them, I was going to purchase on the Costco black Friday sale @ $100 off. I guess I have a couple of weeks to figure it out.
Thanks for the comparison, I've been rocking 6 Arlo Pro's since they came out. I didn't pay much attention to any of the newer iterations but they are truly superior, especially that color night vision!
Thanks steve for the video,, I'm looking for a security camera's for my house, and watching this video made me really like arlo security cameras I like all the different views and outlooks they have to offer... It comes with all your( bells and whistles) everything!!! that you could want?or ask for? In a security camera system... and you help me realize that in your video... and you said to pick what we liked the (most or best) witch ones?and out of the video I really like the ultra camera.. I really could use a good camera like this,, so I can not worrying like I do,,, give ya that piece of mind knowing your family and house are with you 24/7 sevalenced and okay!!
I appreciate the review. I have the Arlo Pro 2 for outdoor security as my wife has a home daycare with 10-12 children. I’m having problems with the Pro 2 where the video stops after approx 12 seconds (it’s set to record for 1 minute) as well as the clarity. It looks pixilated and choppy. Looking for other alternatives but I really like the Arlo system...cost is the biggest roadblock currently. Again thank you for your detailed review!

Gotta love those Arlo Cameras. One of the best systems around if you want cloud support.
Still not 100% on the 2 versus 3 (and the Ultra is just a bit out of the desired price range), but your comparison did help. The audio comparison will definitely come into play. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
You did a fantastic job with this video. I love that you covered all three cameras in the product range. The one thing I would change is during each of the product tests, I would have left the name of the product you are testing up on the screen at all times during each test.
Been looking at wireless systems, and looks like Arlo Pro 3 or Arlo Ultra is the way to go..... I'll look in to more data, such as battery life (you didn't touch on that subject...) and warranty.... Your video is well done, and has set me on the path toward Arlo..!! Will probably purchase within 3 days....
I recently upgraded to the pro 3 cameras and choose the black, less noticeable in the places that we installed. Having issues with notications but soo far like the bigger viewing area and viewing in color. The tracking makes me dizzy when watching. This is an upgrade from the pro 2 we were getting too much white out. I do miss the 7 day cloud storage and will not be looking forward to having to pay for a subscription. Why not offer a few days of storage. This has been a drawback for a lot of people. These cameras are expensive enough already. These videos have been very informative. Will tell others to watch before they buy.
Steve, I currently use the Arlo Pro 5 camera system. I am looking to upgrade the video quality. The Ultra looks and sounds great but too pricey for me. The Pro 3 looks like a good compromise. Your excellent reviews of these cameras is very helpful. Maybe if I Don’t win your contest, there might be a Black Friday deal out there somewhere 🤠
Looking to get a camera system and Arlo is my choice. I’m liking the Arlo 3 system for its features and price point. Your review was a huge help so thank you! BTW....Wahoos shirt? Restaurant?? Have some friends that own the one in Philly!! Great food!
The comparison was awesome. I currently have the Pro 2 but wanted to add more cameras and was torn between the Ultra and Pro 3. Thank you for helping me decide on the Ultra.
Great video Steve. I have been looking at the Arlo Pro 2 because my son has this system for his home and likes it a lot. I had no idea that there was the other 2 systems. You really opened up my eye's. I want to get my youngest son one for his Christmas gift and if I can come up with enough money I will be getting myself the Pro 3 or the Ultra either for Christmas or soon there after. Thanks again for a really good video
I appreciate your precise and clear product descriptions in your videos. I have spent hours trying to decide on the best home security and security cameras. Thanks for educating us on making an informative decision.
Definitely see the difference in all 3 cams when compared. Recently bought a pro 3 add on and put it on my pro system. Ultra would be fantastic to own but you MUST have some kind of subscription to watch videos. Ultra system is way out of most people's price range IMO, so having to pay for extras is not realistic to my budget. Will say that pro 3 when using zoom is still very good with resolution, and can distinguish car tag numbers very well. Did a lot of research before actually buying my system, but then things changed so fast and maybe wish I had waited a little longer to buy. My original purchase was pro that include 3 cams and 3 security lights for close to $400 which I thought was a pretty good deal from HSN. Another note for anyone who is curious, pro 3 is backwards compatible with regular pro base. I made sure before buying. Thanks for the video and the incredible opportunity to maybe get an upgrade!
Very helpful comparison...sounds like I need the Pro 3 base unit and multiple Ultra camera units if I want to retain the ability to use the USB connected local storage approach...video day vs night comparisons and audio characteristics as demonstrated were very helpful with model preference decision making...kudos! :-)
I have friends who have this system and I will be purchasing the Arlo pro 2, suits my needs perfectly, thank you Randy Cole for you excellent presentation.
Thanks for the review. I have Arlo 2 at home, but need system for my office. May go with Ultra for the audio, but the Pro 3 usb feature may sway that direction.
Picked up a single camera Ultra system for the base station reverse compatibility, now wishing I went with the Pro 3 for the USB plug (Still happy I got the camera vs the Pro 3 though). Great video.
Thanks for the review. I’m looking into upgrading my cameras. Currently have the Arlo Pro 2. Planning on using the Pro 2s for indoor use and new one (for now the Ultra) for outdoor use. Now I just got to convince my wife, lol!
Hi Steve! After my crazy neighbor was causing my boyfriend and I some issues I went on a binge to find the best of the best security cameras. I bumped into your channel and I am so thankful I did! Very informative, very clear and I love that you give comparisons of the actual footage and audio. I am sold on the Alro Ultra and Pro 3. Hoping to win the giveaway for our safety. Love your channel. Take care Steve!
I've been a Arlo user for almost 5 yrs. I just upgraded to the pro2. Im happy with how the cameras perform for my setup. The night vision could be better and not be so blurry when trying to see a persons face.
This is the most thorough comparative review I've ever seen. You should be proud.
great comparison. I like my Arlo Pro 2 with free cloud storage for 7 days. I also have power cable attached to it for all time.
Looks like a great security camera.I especially like the fact its wireless, rechargeable batteries and the fact that you can get a solar panel to add to its rechargeable feature. Excellent video.

I just ordered the Arlo pro 2. Now I wish I waited. Thanks for all the info.
Very informative. I've been considering Arlo for several months after seeing a friend's system. I have been very disappointed in my current Swann system. Thank you!
Great review on this product. I wasn't sure what to pick, I was debating the pro 3 or the ultra, but i will be going with the Ultra now. Thank you

Glad it was helpful!

I have pro 2. I love it. Use to watch for seizure. Easy to use. Need one for night time that does color. Thanks for review

What type of external hard drive do you use with the pro 3? Do you still then pay the subscription to have videos backed up??
The pro 3 is my favourite so far. I like to be enter in the giveaway.
I like the clarity of picture and audio of the Ultra!! Much better than the others!
You do such a thorough review. You hit on all the important points in an easy to follow manner. I'm tending towards an Arlo. Go Pack Go.

Been looking at wireless systems, and looks like Arlo Pro 3 or Arlo Ultra is the way to go..... I'll look in to more data, such as battery life (you didn't touch on that subject...) and warranty.... Your video is well done, and has set me on the path toward Arlo..!! Will probably purchase within 3 days....
I recently upgraded to the pro 3 cameras and choose the black, less noticeable in the places that we installed. Having issues with notications but soo far like the bigger viewing area and viewing in color. The tracking makes me dizzy when watching. This is an upgrade from the pro 2 we were getting too much white out. I do miss the 7 day cloud storage and will not be looking forward to having to pay for a subscription. Why not offer a few days of storage. This has been a drawback for a lot of people. These cameras are expensive enough already. These videos have been very informative. Will tell others to watch before they buy.
Steve, I currently use the Arlo Pro 5 camera system. I am looking to upgrade the video quality. The Ultra looks and sounds great but too pricey for me. The Pro 3 looks like a good compromise. Your excellent reviews of these cameras is very helpful. Maybe if I Don’t win your contest, there might be a Black Friday deal out there somewhere 🤠
The Pro3s are a great middle ground for most people. I also like that you can add an Ultra camera down the road if you want to.
Looking to get a camera system and Arlo is my choice. I’m liking the Arlo 3 system for its features and price point. Your review was a huge help so thank you! BTW....Wahoos shirt? Restaurant?? Have some friends that own the one in Philly!! Great food!
Do need the subscription if you attach a USB backup? Does the solar charger render charging unnecessary?
The comparison was awesome. I currently have the Pro 2 but wanted to add more cameras and was torn between the Ultra and Pro 3. Thank you for helping me decide on the Ultra.
Great video Steve. I have been looking at the Arlo Pro 2 because my son has this system for his home and likes it a lot. I had no idea that there was the other 2 systems. You really opened up my eye's. I want to get my youngest son one for his Christmas gift and if I can come up with enough money I will be getting myself the Pro 3 or the Ultra either for Christmas or soon there after. Thanks again for a really good video
I appreciate your precise and clear product descriptions in your videos. I have spent hours trying to decide on the best home security and security cameras. Thanks for educating us on making an informative decision.
Definitely see the difference in all 3 cams when compared. Recently bought a pro 3 add on and put it on my pro system. Ultra would be fantastic to own but you MUST have some kind of subscription to watch videos. Ultra system is way out of most people's price range IMO, so having to pay for extras is not realistic to my budget. Will say that pro 3 when using zoom is still very good with resolution, and can distinguish car tag numbers very well. Did a lot of research before actually buying my system, but then things changed so fast and maybe wish I had waited a little longer to buy. My original purchase was pro that include 3 cams and 3 security lights for close to $400 which I thought was a pretty good deal from HSN. Another note for anyone who is curious, pro 3 is backwards compatible with regular pro base. I made sure before buying. Thanks for the video and the incredible opportunity to maybe get an upgrade!
Very helpful comparison...sounds like I need the Pro 3 base unit and multiple Ultra camera units if I want to retain the ability to use the USB connected local storage approach...video day vs night comparisons and audio characteristics as demonstrated were very helpful with model preference decision making...kudos! :-)
Getting ready to upgrade. Thanks for the comparison.
I have friends who have this system and I will be purchasing the Arlo pro 2, suits my needs perfectly, thank you Randy Cole for you excellent presentation.
Thanks for the review. I have Arlo 2 at home, but need system for my office. May go with Ultra for the audio, but the Pro 3 usb feature may sway that direction.
What do you think of the stickup cam of ring compare to the Arlo pro 3
Picked up a single camera Ultra system for the base station reverse compatibility, now wishing I went with the Pro 3 for the USB plug (Still happy I got the camera vs the Pro 3 though). Great video.
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. It was very informative.
Thanks for the review. I’m looking into upgrading my cameras. Currently have the Arlo Pro 2. Planning on using the Pro 2s for indoor use and new one (for now the Ultra) for outdoor use. Now I just got to convince my wife, lol!
Hi Steve! After my crazy neighbor was causing my boyfriend and I some issues I went on a binge to find the best of the best security cameras. I bumped into your channel and I am so thankful I did! Very informative, very clear and I love that you give comparisons of the actual footage and audio. I am sold on the Alro Ultra and Pro 3. Hoping to win the giveaway for our safety. Love your channel. Take care Steve!
Thanks Steve. I actually thought the Pro 3 was best BECAUSE it was a narrower lens. Making your image more zoomed and therefore more discernible.
Have one Essential now, looking to expand to four cameras outside. Still don't know what I'll choose.
I have the Arlo Pro 2 and don't see a great leap in video quality in upgrading to the Arlo Pro 3. Appreciate the comparison of the three models.
Wow! wish I saw video before purchased Arlo pro 2. Purchased a 4 camera set. Only came with one mount & 9inch recharge cable. Accessories xtra $$
I probably missed this in the video. It you get the pro3, or ultra, are you required to pay a monthly service fee? How does that work?
I've been a Arlo user for almost 5 yrs. I just upgraded to the pro2. Im happy with how the cameras perform for my setup. The night vision could be better and not be so blurry when trying to see a persons face.
