Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is another addition to our Arlo family, and it looks great right out of the box, it comes with good to follow instructions, the USB C cable to charge the battery, the stand and hardware to be able to install it.  As for the installation, it is easy, either see the instructions that are included or the app that is very helpful.  We really like that it can be used indoor as well as outdoor and since this is installed in our backyard, we can see in detail what is going on when we are home or away from home, and the 2k resolution looks great.  The night vision in color is a plus, we are impressed as to how well we get the video, day or night.  The Arlo camera plays well with Apple IOS as well as Android, and it works well with Arlo, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and more.  When it comes to the battery life, it is not an easy answer, it can last a long time as well as just a couple of weeks, and it all depends on how it is being used, if it installed in a high traffic area, then the life of the battery will be drained faster, so keep that in mind,  And on the side of the house, we have the Arlo 4k since it covers a bigger distance,  Either way the Arlo app is easy to use, and we have it in our phones to be able to monitor our home at any time.  Overall, we really like our Arlo system, it lets us sleep better at night and we feel secure when we are on vacation. 

My new Arlo Essential wireless camera is one of the best cameras I have in my home. It has a great form factor and looks great. It is very sleek and slightly bigger than the previous generation Arlo cameras I already own. It includes a new type of mount that I like more than the previous ones as well. It articulates better on the new mount. You can move it into more positions than my previous gen camera. The Arlo app is much improved and more refined as of now. It is very easy to setup a new camera. The camera installs in the app and even installs a firmware update in less than 5 minutes. The app is very intuitive and you can easily control your devices from it. It is one of the better smart camera apps. The image quality of the Arlo Essential is excellent. It features 2k video and you can easily tell the difference from an HD camera producing 1080p. The sound quality while streaming is also very good and clear. The battery life is also very good as I have not had to charge it since I set it up, which has been almost 2 weeks. The charging cable that comes with it is also pretty long in case you want to leave it plugged in rather than run off the battery. I for one am using it off battery since I can easily reach it to charge it when needed. Overall, I feel that the new Arlo Essential camera is a must have if you want a convenient high quality wireless camera. The app is very good, and the stream quality is excellent. The look and style of it is also very nice and you can immediately tell it is a high quality camera.

I am always in the market to get good reliable cameras that will allow me to keep my home and area safe. It is a good to have a watchful eye when I am not home as well and speak to deliveries when they arrive. I was excited to see this Arlo camera retail at a great price and just had to get it! The setup was very easy to install onto the house and the app made it very seamless to setup. I really like how it shows an animation on the setup to provide great instructions if you run into any issues. Out of the box it already comes charge so in a way its ready to just install and run. The picture quality is amazing and I really like how you can zoom into the picture to help identify things. I also enjoy the speaker and mic to allow easy communications when needed. The light is bright but will not extend far outwards so its good for close encounters. The best thing is the batter on this, it can run for quiet some time even if you have it set to maximum picture quality. The only thing to remember is when recharging it will take forever. It is a very slow charge and can take up to 5 or 6 hours from 1% to a full 100%. I feel its a good trade-off for how long the batter last in these cameras. Overall this is a great little camera with great picture and mic quality. It is very easy to setup and will last a very long time against the weather.

The Arlo Essential 2K camera delivers crystal-clear video quality and reliable motion detection, even at night. Setup was quick and easy, and I love being able to check in on my home anytime from the app

Super impressed with this product. Easy installation and linking to the wifi, and the quality of the video is great. The system also classifies what kind of motion is detected (vehicle, person, animal, etc.)

This camera is high quality I’m very surprised. I love it! It stays charged for a decent amount of time.

Great quality and easy to set it up. Great camera for a great price.

I really like this Arlo camera. It’s small, compact, and doesn’t take up much space at all. Installation was super easy, and it was simple to attach exactly where I needed it. Everything is controlled through the app, so I can check what’s going on anytime from my phone, which is very convenient. The image quality is really good - clear both during the day and at night. The camera reacts well to movement and reliably detects people and passing cars, so I always get notified when something is happening. The only downside is the battery. It needs to be recharged fairly often, and charging takes a few hours. Other than that, it’s a great camera and does its job perfectly.

Arlo cameras are great for sharp video, flexible wire-free placement, and smart alerts. But the costs add up — subscription fees, battery upkeep, and occasional connectivity issues. Good pick if you want high features; less so if you’re trying to keep things low-maintenance and low-cost.

Amazing camera, nice quality picture and easy to install.

I recommend, high quality definition, 30 days after charged

Love the app. Everything works great. Videos are very clear

This is my favorite brand for home security. Very clear and works perfectly

Third Arlo camera of this series. The rapid notification and intuitive navigation of the app allowed us to corral an escaped cat.

Good camera easy to install and set up tbe only bad side is that u need to pay monthly to use it

These cameras are great. The battery life is bad if you have it armed all the times. If you do not utilize the sensors NON STOP the battery actually lasts for quite awhile!

Works well and as expected. Clear video reception.

product works great and ties into my security cameras that I do have already perfectly

DOES A GOOD JOB and shows who's at my door. Also all the animals at night, lol

I like that it was super easy to set up and get it going!
