Essential Security Camera HD | Indoor Only | 2nd Gen | Pet Camera & Baby Monitor | Wired, Automated Privacy Shield, 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, Live Stream, Motion Alerts,Notifications|White 1 Cam

I love this camera for checking on my dog and keeping an eye on my house when I’m not home. It gives me peace of mind knowing I can always check in through the app whenever I need to. Connectivity: It connects easily and stays reliably linked without dropping often. Motion detection: The alerts are helpful and let me know right away when there’s movement. Lighting/night vision: The picture stays clear even in low light, which is great at night. Ease of setup: Super simple to get set up and running quickly. App usability: The app is easy to navigate and makes it simple to view live video or recordings. Field of view: Wide enough to see a good portion of the room so I can always see what my dog is doing. I also really love the privacy feature where the screen physically comes down over the camera when it’s turned off. It feels reassuring, and I like that when you turn it back on, you can actually hear the little click as it opens back up. It’s a nice added detail that makes it feel more secure and intentional.

I bought the Arlo Video Doorbell 2K (2nd generation) after a lot of research, and I can say that the choice was definitely worth it. The 2K image quality is excellent, with impressive clarity both during the day and at night. The night vision is surprisingly clear, and the wider field of view really makes a difference — I can see the person at the door from head to toe. The installation was easier than I expected. Another positive point is the response time: notifications come in almost in real time, and the two-way audio has good quality, which makes communication with delivery people much easier. Overall, it’s an excellent and durable product. Definitely worth it!

I’m really loving this little Arlo camera! The image is super clear, even at night, and the audio works perfectly (great for talking to people at home, or yelling at the dog, haha). Setup was super easy, had it up and running in just a few minutes. I also like the automatic privacy cover that closes when the camera is off, such a cool and useful feature. Just a heads-up: some features require a subscription after the free trial, but the basic stuff still works fine. Totally worth it for the price!

I have several of the Arlo exterior wireless cameras. They are great. The app is way nd the quality of the video is great. There is a several second delay between the live video which I’m not sure why. The Ring camera isn’t like that. This camera is same quality but it’s wired for power which I don’t love.

Good indoor security camera for ac powering. You can not beat the cost.

I got tricked, I should have read the fine print, if any... The hardware is decent. Its basically what you expect, no connectivity problems, a basic mount, decent video. I was an Arlo user before in my home country and feel betrayed. It has officially been a month when I argue its harder to return something (have not even tried). Turns out I had a premium trial that allows for cloud video storage when events happen like motion detection. I used to have that for free back in the day, not saying that it should be free but at least let me know it does not have the feature included. Event recording is, for me, the most important aspect of a security camera and I wish I knew this before making the jump. Thats what I get for cheaping out. *To get event recording you need to pay a subscription. Right now I have a problem where one of my cameras seems to have night vision on even though its not. Might have to reset it, but annoying if it keeps happening. + Night vision + Google Home support + Arlo App + Geofencing + Modes for managing different situations. E.g. away, home. + Physical camera privacy

I recently use Arlo webcam for outdoor, and I need for my kid room, so I got the Arlo Essential Security Camera HD | Indoor Only | 2nd Gen — and it’s been a great choice. The night vision is super clear, which is exactly what I needed for nighttime check-ins without disturbing my baby. Even in total darkness, I can see everything clearly from the app. And the 2-way audio is such a helpful feature — I can talk to my little one or even soothe her without going into the room. It works instantly and the sound quality is really clear. The setup was simple, and I love the automated privacy shield that activates when I’m home and don’t need monitoring. It also sends me motion alerts and notifications that are quick and accurate. Since it’s wired, there’s no battery to worry about either. Definitely a solid choice if you’re looking for a baby monitor, pet cam, or just a reliable indoor security cam!

Terrible product. The app is very confusing and non-intuitive. The camera itself has very spotty motion detection which only works sometimes. It will not detect the motion of my dog walking directly across the viewing field of the camera. Two way audio is also spotty. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't.

Camera is supplied with a EU 2 pin plug only which is no use to me as I require a 3 pin uk plug.

Pretty good quality we have all Arlo cameras and this was a I don’t know purchase due to the plug in but it works for bedrooms

I was disappointed with the Arlo camera on multiple levels. The first was the instruction "guide" that came with the camera, a small slip of paper that informed you to download the Arlo app... which is called? So I searched the Apple Store and found one, assuming it must be the correct one even thought it was not simply called "Arlo". After installing the app I proceeded to setup an account and pair to my camera. In the app I found it under Essentials, cord-powered, and I spotted it. Only it stated "3rd Gen". My model was "2nd Gen". There was no option for "2nd Gen", so I selected "3rd Gen" and was advised to press the Bluetooth pairing button on the top of the camera... my button was on the bottom. Oh wait, below the Continue button is a helpful button stating "On Bottom". That's mine! So I pressed it... and was ejected back to the previous selection screen. No matter what option I tried, nothing worked. Then I noticed it mentioned the camera supported Alexa. I have Alexa! I'm saved! So I accessed the Alexa app on my phone, enabled the Arlo skill, connected to my Arlo account, and attempted to pair with the camera (making sure to press the button on the bottom until it started flashing). I waited. Waited. Alexa informed me it could not locate any new devices. In short, this was a complete was of money. I will be sending it back and will search for a device that is supported by the company that makes said device, unlike Arlo.
