Must have

This is the perfect way to feel safe in your home. We have this camera and this system up around our home. It is easy to install and the app is very user-friendly. It detects almost everything in our yard. It's really nice because you can adjust the sensitivity. The cameras can link so you can get multiple views.

A durable outdoor security camera with clear 2K resolution and wide coverage.

I've been using the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Outdoor Security Camera 2K Plug-in for a while now, and it provides wide coverage thanks to the pan and tilt feature, which helps monitor a larger outdoor area. The 2K resolution delivers clear and detailed video during both day and night. The materials feel solid and well-built, giving it a durable feel for outdoor use. Maintenance has been simple so far, with minimal effort needed to keep it running smoothly. Overall, it feels like a reliable outdoor camera designed to offer clear footage and consistent performance.

Small but mighty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is easy to install . The video quality is excellent. Motion detection is a plus. The fact that there is also night vision is awesome. For outdoor use so also a plus plus. It pans around and watches everything. Great little camera in my opinion.

Wired Plug-In Pan + Tilt Arlo Outdoor Security Cam

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you so much, Arlo and Influenster, for letting me test out the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Outdoor Security Camera in exchange for my earnest feedback and review. This sleek outdoor security camera is a nice addition to our porch to keep an extra "eye" on things. The video resolution is 2K, which looks really great and is totally grain-free, even for recording at darker moments. The images are sharp and peoples' faces are clear and distinct. My favorite aspect is how the camera swivels for a 360 degree pan and also tilts to 180 degrees. Coverage is excellent. This model is a plug-in, so you want to be sure to have an outlet nearby. I did not experience any issues with connectivity, which I have had to deal with using other cameras in the past. Overall, this is a terrific security camera if you are cool with not having a wireless option. I do recommend!

Incredible outside camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this camera. We set it up in our carport to monitor the driveway and carport area. It notifies me if there is a car, person, animal or package and tells you which one it is. It also moves with the person so it covers a large area. The video is really clear and great quality. I will be purchasing a couple more for the front of the house and the rear of the house. I highly recommend this security camera specially for peace of mind while not at home.

Great camera!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have the indoor ring security system but we’re looking to upgrade and add on an outdoor security. This one by Arlo is great because it’s got a 360 pan ability and 180 degree tilt. Unfortunately it is plug in which is only downside but we’re making it work. It has features such as automatic motion tracking and really clear color night vision that is crisp. Has motion detection and alerts straight to your phone. Not too painfully expensive to add on security monitoring either. A good value and you can never bet on your safety.

High quality device for an insanely low price

High quality camera with advanced features... for an insanely low price all things considered. Quality materials, fantastic real 2K camera image quality and awesome motion tracking (the camera moves when motion is detected). Simple app, clear pricing. Really the only issue was lack of written installation instructions. Took me a few minutes to realize they were hidden in the app

Excellent video quality and features, but a paid subscription is required to unlock most of the camera's functionality.

I've been using the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Outdoor Security Camera for a while, and overall the hardware quality is very good. The 2K video resolution is sharp and clear, both during the day and at night. Night vision works well, and the pan and tilt feature allows you to cover a wide area, which is very convenient for outdoor monitoring. The installation itself is simple, and the camera looks modern and well made. Motion alerts are accurate, and the camera tracks movement smoothly. However, the biggest downside for me is the Arlo app subscription. Without a paid plan, many key features are limited, and it's almost impossible to fully use the camera as intended. I don't like that the product depends so heavily on a monthly subscription, especially after paying for the cameras themselves. Overall, great camera quality and performance, but the required paid app subscription is a significant drawback.

Safe and secure with some limitations

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the size and look of this security camera. Nice app features, but unsure how valuable it will be to us without the paid subscription. I’d like it for our garage but you’d need a really long cord to plug it in. Nice and easy to mount and good video quality for day and night. Like the motion detection and tilt features and AI integration.

When it stops it’s finished

It worked great until it just didn’t. Before buying, try calling customer service. There’s no number. I had to buy a whole new system.
