Verdict

A flexible LTE-and-Wi-Fi camera for truly remote locations, best for RVs, campsites, and off-grid spots where 1080p video and subscription costs are acceptable trade-offs for reliable connectivity and smart alerts.

Pros

Connectivity options 5.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0

Reviewers emphasize that the Arlo Go 2’s combination of LTE and Wi-Fi makes it unusually flexible for remote monitoring, letting it fall back on cellular service when Wi-Fi is unavailable and prefer Wi-Fi when in range to conserve data.
Notification speed 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5

The Go 2 uses Arlo’s same highly regarded notification system seen on the Pro line, and this review notes that alerts are usually swift and accurate, though performance depends on the strength and stability of local LTE or Wi-Fi signals.
Battery life 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0

Reviewers find that the Go 2’s hefty battery delivers respectable runtime given LTE demands, with this test showing around two months of moderate use before dropping to roughly 40 percent charge.
Night vision brightness & detail 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0

Owners report that the Go 2’s night vision and spotlight combination provide clear enough nighttime footage for basic security checks at campsites, RVs, or fields.
Power options (solar panel) 4.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0

Arlo’s optional solar panel is frequently recommended for the Go 2, as it can dramatically cut down on manual charging for cameras installed in hard-to-reach or off-grid locations.

Cons

Cloud storage plan value 3.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0

While Arlo’s cloud service provides smart alerts and video history, this review points out that the need for both an Arlo Secure subscription and a separate data plan can make the Go 2 a relatively expensive option over time.
Local storage option convenience 3.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0

Local recording to a microSD card gives the Go 2 a handy on-device backup, but feedback stresses that these clips cannot be reviewed remotely, so the card mainly serves as a physical archive you retrieve later.
