    The Arlo Essential camera works great. I don't feel that I want to have a contract with a security company. I only got it because of maintenance coming into my apartment when I'm not home, because I have a dog.

    Extremely easy to set up with one button and nice quality. Easy to split up from my home cameras and add my mom's assisted living appartment as it's own location.

    Arlo cameras in general have come a long way. The set up of this particular camera was easy and the picture quality is great. I also really appreciate the privacy shield and you can hear if it activates while you’re near it.

    Absolutely love our new Arlo Essential Indoor Camera! Leave it on standby while you are home, switch to armed when you leave the house. Clear, concise video & audio to keep an eye on your home when you are away. Let’s me also keep an eye on my dogs & I can talk to them when I’m away. Very affordable and exactly what I was looking for in home security!

    So far so good, it was easy to set up and the basic stuff is free to use. No subscription needed. But the subscription is less then 10 dollars so its awesome if you're on a budget. I recommend it.
