Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comes with hookups very easy to install onto a wall all you need is to screw in two screws and your fine. Even easier to take down and put where ever you want it to go . Has very clear picture and three modes for the camera including standby . Had a privacy shield which when you turn on standby the camera covers itself and doesn’t open backup or notify you until you turn it back off . Honestly I like it I’d highly recommend it

Extremely happy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Indoor Camera free in exchange for my review. I had a baby monitor set up in the same spot before to be able to keep an eye on my crated pup. So I was overjoyed to find out I would be testing this out. I LOVE that the picture is so clear and the app is very user-friendly. It was so simple to set it up and download the app and begin using it immediately. I LOVE that I can check on her away from the house. I couldn’t do that with the baby monitor. I had to be on the same wifi. I also think it’s great there is a microphone so that I can talk to her while I’m away. Overall, I’m super happy with this product!

Everything

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited when I seen this camera was up for grabs for free I wanted the outdoor camera bc I have been looking at this brand and had friends and family recommend this outdoor camera brand well since they wqs out of the outdoor I got the indoor one and i set it all up for the emergency push call or dial family members but I plugged it in by our living room window and sit it on top of our ac until (window until) pull up the blinds just enough for the camera to see out the window and it picks up everything us walking in yard our dogs outside and all vehicles that come up our drive way and the videos are all so clear i get notifications every time somethinf or someone comes up in our front yard right on my phone! So glad I got this and I highly recommend! I will be purchasing the outdoor cameras very soon

Great picture quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We already had an Arlo system for our home but only currently used outdoor cameras. Finally added this indoor to the mix! The picture quality is terrific and also has good sound pickup! Was very easy to connect to our main system. This also has a privacy shutter on it which is extremely important to us! Hackers are getting better and better at accessing home systems. This shutter gives the peace of mind to know while I have my system unarmed and intentionally not recording, that there is not an accessible stream! The Arlo system itself takes a little getting used to, their new updates make it a little vague for people new to this type of product and current users alike. Some of the wording is confusing. But once figured out and timers and geofencing set up, the purpose of the live video and captured items are great! Happy with our indoor add-on, especially for when we travel and have dog sitters or to check in on our pups whenever we leave the house!

Clear picture!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used so many cameras to keep an eye on my active toddler. I really like this Arlo essential indoor camera because the picture is so clear, I can see what she picks up and if she’s putting it into her mouth. There is a tiny bit of lag but is still functional for my purposes. I like the interface in the app but I’m not sure what it will be like once the free trial is over.

Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]  This essential indoor camera was very easy to set up and navigate on their app. The instructions were very easy to follow, and I feel much more safe in my home, knowing that I have a security camera that I can view from anywhere.

Wonderful camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera works great and the setup was so easy. I downloaded the Arlo application and walked through the directions included in the package. Once the app was setup and I plugged in the camera, I was able to see around the room I had it placed. The images were clear and the microphone was able pickup sounds that were also clear. The microphone allows you to talk with people in the room remotely as well. I definitely recommend this indoor camera. #Influenster. #Arlo

QUALITY INDOOR CAMERA!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely loved trying this Arlo Essential Indoor Camera HD. It was easy to setup and worked instantly. I love how clear the quality of the video was. It's cool how I can talk to my daughter when at work. It gives me the reinsurance that my place is protected when away. I highly recommend this product!

Great little camera!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is fantastic for a basic live feed to a room in your home. My only complaint is that it is not wireless. It has a decently long cord but if an outlet isn’t close you will need an extension. It gets obnoxious trying to keep the cord out of sight. Other than that I do like the camera.

Subscription Required for Storage

The cameras work well but, the downfall is that a subscription is required for storage. Paying for an annual subscription totally negates any cost savings for the actual product.
