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

Bang for your buck!
At only $40 and with so many features, this camera is amazing. Yes it does have a pant tilt and zoom mobility from the other camera that Arlo carries but the best part about this one as a spotlight so you can use this outdoor outdoors. I really like how the camera follows not only a person when it comes with a range, but it also follows my dogs and with the customizable settings, you can set alerts to add captions in the description area of the video of what the counter detective

Adequate But Needs Work
The camera is pretty impressive for the price. But I’ve been dealing with drop out of communication. I would have to cycle the power to bring it back in. Also, the camera does not always follow what it senses. I’ve called Arlo and they are supposedly looking into the issues.

Arlo Pan-tilt Security Camera
This security camera is a great purchase for us. It's very user friendly, easy to set up and install. It easily captures movement and follows it through. And the clor option for nighttime recording makes it even better. This camera is a huge improvement over our previous security camera.
