Everyday users commonly praise the long battery life, clear 2K color night vision, and the absence of monthly fees. Users appreciate the quick setup and reliable motion alerts. Recurring complaints include faster battery drain during heavy use, WiFi range limitations in large areas, and occasional app glitches related to multi-camera synchronization.
Professional reviewers commend the Arlo Pro 6th-gen for retaining sharp 2K HDR video, a wide 160° view and flexible night-vision options, while confirming the advertised eight-month battery life.
