A great little camera to make you feel secure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Arlo Essential 3rd Gen Outdoor Camera for a bit now, and it's been pretty solid. Setup was fast and easy, which I appreciate because I don't have the patience for a complicated install. The video quality is great for the price, and the night vision actually shows color instead of that dull gray haze most cameras have. It's battery powered, so you can put it anywhere without running cords through your house. The motion alerts come through quickly, sometimes a little too often if it's windy, but I'd rather get a few extras than miss something important. Mine came with a 30-day trial of the Arlo Secure subscription, which gives access to better motion detection, storage, and smart alerts. You can use it without a plan, but the subscription definitely makes it more useful. Some retailers include longer trials, so it depends where you get it. Overall, it's easy to use, reliable, and does what it should. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a solid outdoor camera. It's a really good option for the price point and worth picking up. I received this product for free from Influenster and Arlo in exchange for my honest review.

Picture quality clear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Camera picture quality was great. One thing I loved about the camera was the HD video and the ability to listen to sounds and the ability to talk as well. Works well to keep an eye out on our dog. Also would alert me on my phone when there was motion detected. The reason for the 3 star is it would loose connection and I would have to keep setting it up.

Great quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera works great! It was really easy to install and has held up well in all kinds of weather. The video quality is better than other outdoor cameras I have used and the motion detection is more precise.

A must have for security ♡

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is a must have!!! It records in 1080p full high-definition, offers color night vision, and comes with a weather-resistant design, which make it well suited for outdoor use. Installation was relatively straightforward and the picture quality was quite nice. The only drawback is that there can seldom Be some connectivity issues when the camera is placed too far from the WiFi.

Great security camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, the camera is working as it should. The motion detection works very well. It shows a clear video in the dark and the weather has been bad, which it has held up to. So far I really love this camera! I can’t give 5 stars because I don’t know how long it’s going to last yet but it’s honestly worth the purchase!

Crisp clear images and easy set up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Arlo Essential Outdoor Security Camera is a very user friendly camera. Set up was fast and the directions were great. It only takes a few minutes to be up and running. After fully charging and installing I was very happy to see how clear an image it gets of my yard. I like that the alerts differentiate between cars and people. I feel like my house will be much more secure now.

Outdoor Camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to install the camera and also the app on your phone. I love that it records video. Images are very clear. Offers a wide view of our front porch and sidewalk. I love the security that it offers.

Clear views

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using my Arlo security cameras for a while now, and overall they’ve done exactly what I needed. The picture quality is clear, the motion alerts come through quickly, and the night vision is surprisingly good. The app is easy to use, and I like that I can check in on my house even when I’m not home.

Essential outdoor camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Arlo Essential Outdoor Security Camera HD (3rd Gen, 1-Cam) is easy to install and set up, offering good picture and video quality even at night. The main downside is that a paid subscription is required to access all features. It’s a rechargeable camera, which makes it convenient to use. Overall, it’s a solid basic outdoor camera for everyday security needs.

Great design and features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have one other security camera in our home so I was excited to try the Arlo brand. The setup was very easy (which isn't always the case) and I love the design of the product itself. I can't speak to long term use yet but my first impression of this brand and product is great!
