    I was using a different WiFi based security company’s camera. I was never pleased and the app seemed shotty most of the time. I decided to purchase Arlo cameras and give it a chance based on reviews and some people i know that use them. So far I’ve been very pleased in comparison with my old service.

    Great video quality, easy to add to app, and easy to use. This is my first wired Arlo camera and so far it's been a good buy. My wife and I use this paired with an Arlo Baby to keep track of our toddler.

    A great basic camera with night-vision and easy to use app, does what I need and for $99.99 bucks, it's well money spent that makes it a great buy to keep an eye on what you need surveillance on!

    It was so easy to install on my up. Turn it on, Search for the device on you phone and sync. Great clarity. Also can replace my SimpliSafe so I dont have to pay for the extra service fees on cameras.

    This camera works seamlessly with other Arlo cameras. Easy to connect, easy to mount, easy to ingratiate with the app and my other Arlo cameras. Video clarity, sound clarity are big factors in a good camera. Security is number one. I am happy with this indoor camera.

    Easy On/Off for Indoor Camera

    We leave the camera on when we're not home to feel safe about the house being empty... and easily turn it off when we're home for ultimate privacy.

    I’m very happy I purchased this camera. This is my first Arlo indoor camera (not my first Arlo) and I’m very happy with it. I know some people prefer the battery powered cameras but for this application I don’t mind the plug in. Keeps the camera smaller and it’s one less thing I have to remember to keep charger. Also the camera has a pretty wide viewing angle which was useful for my camera placement. And the camera quality is perfect. Overall I would recommend this camera if you’re looking for a good indoor camera, you can’t go wrong.

    Use as motion sensor/siren alarm when away.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Overall overpriced for an indoor 1080 camera. But am happy with my floodlight and Arlo pro 4 cameras and want everything controlled by 1 app/system. I use the indoor cameras as motion detector, siren alarms and to occasionally peek inside when I am away from home and in this sense the cameras are good and reliable and a one time cost since I already have the smart subscription.
