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

High quality picture!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set up, and the app was so intuitive. Connected to Wi-Fi and took less than 10 minutes to complete. I don’t love the cord, but I needed the height for the camera to scan the whole room. I do plan to buy more!

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

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!

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.

Easy and great view

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We put this camera in our living room looking towards our front door and man what a gem. The picture is clear and easy to view. The install was a little tedious but worth it. It's an easy set up and for the quality you get this is a great product. Going to be looking at more ARLO cams for outdoor also.

Excellent quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am truly impressed by the quality of this product. It’s built well (I dropped it and nothing happened, it’s lightweight and the clarity of the video is amazing. I have it set in my family room and there are consistent up to date notifications of movement. I will be purchasing more for sure.

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.

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

Okay

This is an okay camera. The shutter doesn't always close for some reason and I can't figure out why. The set up was fairly quick and easy and notifications are nice. You need to sign up to their monthly service to have any sort of recording though which is kind of annoying.
