    Arlo Essential 2nd Gen review

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I give these cameras 3 stars for the following reasons . The video qaulity is decent , but It doesn't look 2K to me . The sound has a weird echo/feedback quality that almost sounds like its recording in a cave . There is no adjustment for the sensitivity level of the sound activation , so every gust of wind causes the cameras to record thus draining battery levels . These are sealed units , so there is no way to swap out batteries like the Pro Models . I guess when the battery fails , you throw them away , or have to mail them in for service . You also have to aim them away from the wall of the house if you have reflective brick , or siding , or the spotlight reflection blinds the camera . They get the job done , but I like my Pro and Pro 2 cameras better .

    Camera is working well, has great picture and has last almost a month now without needing a charge. My only concern is that I needed to upgrade my app before installing the new camera and I have the same screens and features. Not always sure newer is better

    Excellent camera. Easy to set up and link to your account. Night vision is very bright and has the option to turn on the spot light. It does glitch from time to time and needs to be reset, but it can be reset remotely. Video quality overall is great. The only issue I have is with the accessories. The outdoor power wire works well but is pricy. The solar pannel is useless. It doesnt put out enough power to maintain charge.

    The camera gets good images. My only complaint is that the notifications are delayed by almost a whole minute. Unless the intruder stays and puts on a show, he/she can take my package and leave before I get the notification.

    The Arlo Essential Camera is a fantastic addition to any home security setup. Its sleek design seamlessly blends into any environment, providing discreet yet powerful monitoring. The HD video quality ensures clear footage, even in low-light conditions, giving me peace of mind knowing I can always see what's happening around my home. The added bonus of two-way audio allows me to communicate with visitors or deter potential intruders, all from the convenience of my smartphone. With easy installation and reliable performance, the Arlo Essential Camera is truly essential for protecting what matters most.

    The camera was easy to install and set up. Holds a charge good as well and the view is very wide on the camera for viewing on your phone. This is my 3rd one I have installed.

    Everything else is great except that it requires me to pay for a subscription which i wanted to avoid. It does not connect to the base station that i have and i passed the return window so that is slightly disappointing. Otherwise great size and works well. I like the spotlight that turns on at night.
