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

Great camera
I’m genuinely impressed with how smooth and quiet the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt camera moves — it feels like having an extra set of eyes that never blinks. The 2K quality is crisp, even in dim lighting, and I love the privacy shutter that closes with a simple tap. It’s sleek, smart, and gives me peace of mind without feeling intrusive.

Love the pan and tilt feature
This arlo camera is one of the best cameras I own. The fact that it can rotate 360 degrees and have the 180 degree tilt is a huge win. It’s currently in my garage and it covers every square inch. The only thing I would like is if it was battery operated instead of cable.
