This item was $39.99 each at the time I purchased it. The information advised it worked with 3rd party sites like Google Home and many others; that was important to me. The quality image of the the camera was 1080p with night vision. 4k would've been nice but not for double the cost. Another important feature for me was the privacy shield. So, let's get into if what's promoted/advertised and if it's true. During the day the 1080p quality picture is decent but does have a glare if any light is near. If the room is naturally bright, you wouldn't like this cameras. The 2 way mic is trash. There's always feedback like you're close to the camera and you can be miles away. The night vision does work but the quality isn't the best. It's pretty bad in my opinion compared to other cameras. I do like the privacy shield! It works as suggested. I like the design of it, its small and doesn't necessarily stand out but it depends where you put it. They record everything you'll have tons of footage. However, they strongly promote using their subscription services. I'm a free trail at the moment. Im sure I won't like it afterwards unless my Google home continues to work the same with the 3rd party camera. The features using Google doesn't work even though its linked. You have to us Arlo for their products. Initially, I wanted to switch all my cameras over to Arlo. I've only heard great things about it. After my experience, I'm no longer interested in Arlo products. For the price point, it does what I need. For the most part, it suits my needs but there was a time the camera stated it was in use and I had to wait. Im the only one with access, that made me uncomfortable. My children advised sometimes the privacy shield opens and close on it's own. They thought it was me but it wasn't. At this time I don't recommend. My honest review

Purchased this to include in our Arlo ecosystem. Fantastic little indoor camera, captures clear video and is always ready when needed. Like the addition of privacy shield and that some of the bugs from first generation camera have been corrected. Worth the buy if you can get it on sale.
