Great clear pictures

My living camera and my outside door ring camera shares the same app where I can talk through both cameras, check to see what's going on , go back to look at videos I can now see what my kids are doing when I'm asleep

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

Great quality video

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Arlo Essential indoor camera was easy to set up and pair. I was really impressed by the clarity of the video this camera produces. I love that I receive instant notifications on my phone if there is movement from a person or animal. Another great feature is the privacy shield. Great when you are at home and want privacy. I have the camera set up to watch my dogs activity while I’m at work. Works with Alexa and Google which is also a nice feature.

Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy I got to try the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera HD. I now know exactly what is going on when I am not home. I just open the app and get a great HD view of my living room. I feel a lot more secure since I live in a condo and maintenance sometimes needs access to my unit. I highly recommend.

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

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.

Indoor camera to come in handy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted something to use in a future home so I wouldn’t have to worry about keeping an eye on my house. This camera should do the trick! Live video with protection privacy and the promise of a clear picture! Plus this product is small enough to be discreet.

Super easy setup

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera was very easy to setup. I had zero difficulty with setup. The app is very easy to use and outlines all the features it can do (ie., set alarm for away, disarm for home, recording options, lighting options, etc.) It has a vast array of options that I was not expecting. Definitely a plus. I like that you can choose to do live feed and speak into the camera as well as the recording of video and sound. It also notifies you anytime it detects movement, including cats walking around. The only downside is it is wired. This makes it not convenient when choosing a location to sit it on or mount it as you need a wall outlet nearby. The cord is surprisingly long but would still require an extension cord if there were no outlets nearby. Overall, I highly recommend but would prefer a wireless version if possible.

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.

reply from Arlo Team

Hello <br /><br />Arlo cameras do not require a subscription to access basic features such as live streaming and motion or audio notifications. However, subscribing unlocks additional features, including 60-day Video History, Advanced Object Detection, Activity Zones, 24/7 Emergency Response, and more.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Arlo Team
