GREAT BUY

AMAZING!! They were on sale for $24 dollars so I decided to try these since I have an Arlo security camera system and these would be easy to add on. I thought this would be great to simply connect to the app and they were. The pictures are crystal clear. The set up was extremely easy. They can be placed anywhere inside. The design of these are really nice. The only regret I have was not buying more at that great price.

So far so good.

They work well so far, they were on sale this month so I bought a ton of them. Everything is now well covered. It’s good to see what’s going on out there.

Reliable plug-in power, smooth firmware updates, clear 2K video, and great privacy features.

I've been using the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Indoor Security Camera 2K for some time now and I'm very happy with its overall performance. Setup was quick and simple, and since it's plug-in powered, I don't have to worry about charging batteries or losing power unexpectedly. The camera stays consistently connected and works reliably. The 2K video quality is sharp and clear, both during the day and at night. The pan and tilt feature allows me to see the entire room, and motion tracking works smoothly. I receive alerts almost instantly, which is very helpful. Regarding firmware, updates install automatically through the app, and I haven't experienced any glitches or connection issues. Everything runs smoothly in the background without needing constant attention. I also really appreciate the privacy cover, which gives me peace of mind when using the camera indoors. Overall, this camera is easy to use, stable, and dependable for everyday home security.

Easy setup, works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera was super easy to setup in the app, and works well. The video quality is good, and I like that you can pan the camera around. Using the manual panning is a bit laggy, but isn’t a huge deal. I use this camera in my office when I’m away from the house so I can check in on everything. The automatic following once motion is detected works great as well.

Very nice camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned many around cameras and this one is by far one of the best ones I have owned. It mounts and tracks movement. You can also remotely move it from your phone. The video quality is very good and it has excellent zoom.

So Many Features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera has a lot of really great features that make monitoring your home seamless. First, the very accessible app helps things run smooth with the ability to arm, or disarm your home at the press of one simple button. I appreciate that when the camera is disarmed, the camera lens turns downward. I think this helps myself and guests feel more comfortable. The camera stands so nicely in my armoire but is also comes with a mounting kit. The camera easily swivels towards whatever motion is going on in the home. The picture quality is clear (even at night it’s easy to see) and the arrows on the app helps you point the camera in any direction. The audio also comes in great. Additionally there are tons of great features. Too many to even name! I feel safer in my home thanks to this camera!

Very nice quality recording

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I set this camera outside in my porch just to get an idea on how well it works. The video quality is pretty good. The app is useful but I feel like it could be far better. I couldn’t figure out a way to get the camera to stop recording over the smallest motion unless you turn it to home and than it just doesn’t pick up any movement. I had over 600 video’s of nothing. Which I found to be a bit annoying. I do know with Ring I can change the sensitivity to prevent that. However I did not find that in the Arlo app. I do like that it turns and follows motion. That’s one of the best features of this camera. I do love that it has safety features for fire and an alarm to scare off intruders.

New required monthly service plan

We just upgraded our aging Arlo system. I do like these cameras, but Arlo no longer offers even limited recordings without a pricey monthly fee. I’m disappointed and now I regret this purchase as the only option is live feed without spending more.

reply from Arlo Team

Hello <br /><br />No, 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

Meh.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera pans really slow, and I haven’t figured out how to best use the features. The app is not very user friendly. I prefer Blink and Ring over Arlo so far. The notifications seem to work only sometimes, and the camera will go into sleep mode when it’s supposed to be armed.

Meh!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s an ok option if you’re on a budget. The big issue for me was the lagging when in live mode. It is egregious even with the highest speed internet on the market and over WiFi. The app is also super basic. The big positive here is the ease of installation.
