Arlo Camera Nice and Small too
Camera was easy to setup, i decided to mount it on the wall, it is a nice compact size and the visuals are pretty good. You do have to make sure you select the higher resolution in the app though after you set it up in order to get 1080p or the 2k, i think the default was 720p and they probably do that in order to save loading time when connecting to the feed through the app. But once you adjust it, the loading time is only an extra few seconds. Totally worth it though. I got a great deal purchasing this during the Labor Day Sale, overall im satisfied with this purchase. I liked the previous style of the Arlo App though. The new Style/Layout is a little more confusing and they removed custom modes unfortunately. Overall- Camera good, App- ok. I like this Arlo Camera, its nice.

Arlo Essential Indoor Camera (2nd Generation)
The camera delivered sharp 1080p video with excellent color quality in testing. Black-and-white night video showed good contrast and crisp image detail. Motion alerts were accurate and arrived quickly, and the privacy shield worked as intended.
