I am an Apple User

I grabbed two Arlo Essential Outdoor Cameras from Walmart for just $29 each — one for my front yard and one for the backyard — and I'm genuinely impressed! Installation was super easy and setup took just minutes. Even though I'm a hardcore Apple user and heavily invested in the HomeKit ecosystem, I found Apple's options too limited and way overpriced. While these Arlo cameras don't support HomeKit, I decided to try the Arlo app — and honestly, it works flawlessly. The app is smooth, notifications are quick, and the video quality is clear day and night. For the price, these cameras are a no-brainer. Highly recommended, especially if you want solid performance without the Apple price tag.

No micro SD as described

Not as described. First thing shown when ordering under description is micro SD. This is deceiving because you then assume it has a microSD port you could record onto, it does not have an external port. So you have to get the subscription for any recording benefit and just too pricey for the subscription as cheapest option was $15 a month.

Hi AaronThanks for sharing your review. The Arlo Essential 2 Outdoor Camera does not come with a microSD for external storage. If external storage is needed, you can purchase a compatible Arlo Smart Hub which will store events locally without a subscription. Please reach out to our support team so they can further address your concerns and provide assistance by navigating to Settings > Support within the Arlo app to explore the support options available to you. We appreciate your patience and understanding.Best regards,Arlo Team

They Arlo company said the cat after a couple years the cameras were outdated. I would not support the cameras through the app so we could not use the cameras at all even though there outdated supposedly it should still we should still be able to use the cameras, but they do not allow that that's why I would not recommend Arlo cameras.
