I got the Arlo Essential 2K (3rd Gen) camera to use indoors so I could keep an eye on my dog while I’m out, and it’s been such a great little setup. I’m not super techy, but getting it up and running was surprisingly easy—just a few minutes and it was connected and ready to go. The video quality is really good. The 2K resolution makes everything clear enough that I can actually see what my dog is chewing on (or attempting to chew on). The wide field of view covers most of the room, and the motion alerts pop up quickly on my phone, which gives me peace of mind when I’m away. I also love that it’s wireless and battery-powered. I didn’t want cords or drilling, so being able to just place it on a shelf was perfect. The battery life has held up well so far, and the app is pretty easy to navigate. It’s been super helpful for keeping tabs on my pup. Maybe a splurge for a dog but gives me peace of mind while I’m away. If you want something simple, clear, and reliable for indoor monitoring, this Arlo camera definitely does the job!

It was very easy to install. The application instructions were as clear as the video quality!.

Camera video quality is good. The software is not so good. Camera crashed once and lost footage. I'll be returning

Requires paid membership after using it for a while I guess that's why I don't recommend

After using the Arlo Essential XL 3rd Gen Wireless 2K Camera for a few weeks, I can confidently say it’s one of those “set it and forget it” smart cameras — in the best possible way. It takes everything great about the regular Essential and adds serious battery endurance, which is a huge win if you don’t want to recharge every few months. Setup and Design Setup is identical to the regular Essential model — quick, painless, and all handled through the Arlo Secure App. I connected it to my Wi-Fi in under five minutes. The app gives you a live preview during mounting, which made it easy to line up the angle before locking it in place. The camera itself feels solid and slightly larger than the standard version — that’s because of the extended battery, but it’s still sleek and unobtrusive. It looks clean mounted on a white exterior wall or under an eave. Performance and Image Quality Video performance is excellent — crisp 2K resolution, smooth streaming, and accurate colors in daylight. At night, the infrared sensors do a great job of lighting the scene without washing out faces or details. I tested it across different angles, and it handled glare from porch lights better than expected. The two-way talk is also impressive — minimal lag and clear enough to have a normal conversation through the app. The motion detection is responsive, and Arlo’s smart alerts help distinguish between people, vehicles, and animals (if you’re using Arlo Secure). Battery Life This is where the XL earns its name. I went about three full weeks of testing with daily motion activity, and the battery barely dropped below 95%. Arlo claims it can last up to four times longer than the standard Essential, and based on what I’ve seen, that’s accurate. For anyone who doesn’t want to mess with frequent charging — especially if the camera’s mounted high up or outside — the XL version is absolutely worth it. Everyday Use The Arlo app makes checking in easy — whether it’s live monitoring or reviewing clips. I liked how you can quickly jump into playback and save or share footage directly from the timeline. Push notifications come fast, and the integration with Alexa and Google Home worked flawlessly in my tests. Conclusion The Arlo Essential XL 3rd Gen is hands-down one of the most convenient wireless cameras I’ve used lately. It keeps all the reliability and crisp 2K visuals of the standard Essential model but stretches out the battery life dramatically. If you’re setting up outdoor cameras and don’t want to think about recharging for months, go with the XL. It’s reliable, weather-resistant, and gives you peace of mind with minimal maintenance — exactly what a good home security camera should do.

The Arlo - Essential 1-Camera Wireless 2K Security Camera (3rd Gen) Battery Powered – White is a great addition to have for securing my home with video surveillance. I was able to setup the Arlo Essential 1 camera in just a few minutes. I only needed to install the Arlo app on my phone and follow the prompts. Connections were simple and user-friendly and well organized, even for someone with limited technical skill. Arlo includes a non-magnetic wall mount that consists of two parts. First, there is a mounting bracket that has to be screwed into a suitable vertical surface and then a moveable ball joint that screws into the back of the camera which allows the camera’s focus to be angled where I need it. I can connect directly with my Wi-Fi, instead of the need to use a Hub. But using the Hub does enable local storage. The overall performance is excellent. I can check the live view, receive motion alerts, and adjust settings in just a few taps. I can check my home from anywhere using the app on my phone, with monitoring everything in real time. The Essential 1 camera gives a wide 130° field of view diagonal angle to cover a huge amount of real estate. The picture quality is sharp and detailed, even at night, and the smart motion detection for people, vehicles, animals, and packages is fast and accurate. I can also have the spotlight activated by motion and use 2-Way audio to confront the intruder. I have an alarm siren that will make a lot of warning noise to detour an intruder from violating my home’s integrity. It is battery operated that allows me to place it in a spot with no electrical wall outlet needed. I can conveniently place it anywhere. The battery is rechargeable by use of a standard USB-C cable. I must remove the camera when charging the battery. The one minus is a paid subscription. The box states,’ Maintaining Arlo secure features requires a paid subscription after the trial period ends.” Their Arlo Secure Plan is included in a 1-month trial period. After that, the plans start at $7/month and go up from there for more features. That fact is the most likely thing to hold people back from buying this incredible home security camera.

This is the 3rd generation Arlo Essential camera in 2K resolution (2560x1440) and is a fantastic way to add additional video security in your house for less. The 2K video is very clear and provides 130-degree Field of view and has an integrated spotlight and color night vision. The spotlight is fairly bright and seems to assist in the color night vision. Battery life in this camera has been pretty good so far, but if you have a hard-to-reach place to install one, I suggest either the XL model for longer life, or getting a Solar panel to charge it. Mine have been installed for about a week, I a low traffic area, and the battery is down about 5 percent. I expect to get about 4 to 5 months out of the battery at this point. These essential cameras have a sealed battery, and you can’t swap them and they also come with a very cheap mount that does not articulate and is basically just a straight mount, cost saving measures, I am sure. Another feature that these cameras have is a siren and the ability to two-way talk to someone on the other side. The volume of the speaker is very low, and the other person may have a hard time hearing you, the microphone however, sounds really good on your end via the app. Installation is great for these new devices, and it is a seamless process, and the app walks you through the process with ease. Overall, I am looking forward to using this new camera and I do subscribe to the Arlo Secure Multi-Camera plan. This covers all the cameras the cameras that I have. You do get a free 30-day trial that comes with these cameras and once I added these cameras, I automatically got a free month. This allows to have one camera set up for package detection (front door) and all of the cameras can detect Vehicle, person, or animals. I find this detection to be accurate for the most part and you are also given a 30-day cloud storage option as well. Arlo still has the free plan which includes 7 days of storage, but no smart detection.

Camera is a black and white model with blends in well with most environments. It has a covered port for charging and a single switch on the top. It has a attached mounting bracket with base which can in turn be wall mount via amount that attaches to the bracket. Set up was fairly easy, but be careful when picking the model, as Arlo has many model cameras, and it must be correct for the programming to work. I have other Arlo cameras, so this was fairly smooth. The app is fairly intuitive and allows my many Arlo products to be viewed and set up. The camera picture quality is excellent, as is night vision. The camera has color night vision mode, athought I found it only partially acceptable. Battery life was decent althought it always is when new. With an optional plan, there is video storage and advance object detection. I found this somewhat useful. My camera arrived missing the 'mounting plate' which was nowhere to be found in the box, hence I could not mount my camera on a wall. I could not find a picture of this anywhere, and my texting with Arlo proved frustrating as they didn't seem to understand what was missing as well. At first they kept referring to the battery- very frustration ! I wish companies would focus on customer service that makes sense and with people who understand what they are supposed to be representing. All in all I like the product, do not like the need for a subscription to really use all the features, and the lack of decent customer service.

This Arlo Essential 2K Wireless Outdoor Security Camera 3rd Generation is a rechargeable battery operated camera. In the box you get the Arlo Essential 2K Wireless Camera, USB charging cable, and mounting hardware. Setup is easy, but you must charge the camera prior to setup. Once charged, download the Arlo application from your smartphone’s App Store by scanning the QR code on the inside lid of the camera box. Follow the directions from there and your camera will be setup in a few minutes. Connectivity issues are a thing of the past with this Arlo camera. Why? Unlike most other security cameras, the 3rd generation Arlo Essential Wireless Security Camera uses dual band WiFi in either 2.4GHz or 5Ghz. This keeps your camera connected and the signal strong. AI and Smart features are here. I like it when I get an alert on my phone and I know if it’s a person, a package, a dog or just a bird that’s curious. This Arlo camera has AI smart recognition that will let you know what it detects. I think that feature is so cool. Resolution and Night Vision are really good on this camera. The resolution is 1080p HD, and the pictures are so clear and colorful. You can even see colors at night with the Enhanced Night Vision. It also has a wide view which is great. Audio and Audio Alerts on this camera are made possible with the Arlo Security App. You can have two-way conversations with someone at the camera from your phone. The Audio Alert is a siren that can be activated from your smartphone on your Arlo Security App when you see an intruder, and hopefully scare them away. Other features include an integrated spotlight activated on the application, the ability to easily remove the camera to recharge it, and the ease of positioning the camera once it’s mounted. This camera goes with other Arlo security cameras for both indoors and outdoors. They are great camera. You can also sign up for different levels of subscriptions on the app. Summary: great security camera that recognizes the difference between people, animals, and more, is rechargeable, has a spotlight, can be controlled from your application on your smartphone, night vision is in color, the resolution is 1080p HD, has two-way audio, and can be used with other Arlo cameras.
