Fixed and manual irises are generally suited for locations with consistent levels of light. Automatic and "P" (precise) irises automatically adjust in response to changing levels of light and are suited for a wider variety of environments. "P" irises feature additional capabilities for improving footage clarity.)
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels.

CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

    Good camera

    The Arlo Essential Indoor 2K (3rd Gen) camera delivers clear video, easy app control, and a handy privacy shield. Perfect for monitoring your baby or home. The only downside is that most advanced features require a subscription.
