Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Arlo Brand is awesome, and I recommend this for their security needs.

I added a indoor pan camera that was an awesome addition to my cameras.

I recently added the Arlo Essential Pan and Tilt camera to my existing Arlo system, and it’s been a fantastic upgrade. Setup was smooth—no base station required, which is a huge plus. The camera connects directly to Wi-Fi, making it easy to place anywhere with a strong signal. It has a 130º base field of view and with the 360º pan and the 180º tilt functionality is excellent for indoor coverage. I can remotely swivel the camera to check different parts of the room, and the 2K resolution delivers sharp, detailed footage. It also has 12x digital zoom and night vision. Motion detection is responsive, and the alerts are accurate, especially with smart object recognition. I also appreciate the two-way audio and built-in siren, which add an extra layer of security. The camera integrates perfectly with my other Arlo devices in the app, so I can monitor everything from one dashboard. This camera is ideal for monitoring wide indoor spaces or entry points where motion tracking and remote viewing angles are essential. It’s especially useful for pet monitoring, child safety, or watching over high-traffic areas. Overall, this camera is a great addition to any Arlo setup—flexible, powerful, and easy to use without a hub.

Good for spot that you want to focus on and not worry about charging battery

This Arlo pan tilt security camera works great. It's a must buy.

Work says described very reliable. I get to spy on my cat all day long.

This camera has been such a game changer inside the house because i can watch my dogs in real time on the camera when I’m away from home.

Camara are smart robot and is 24/7 records and very professional technology

Great camera. The image quality is good. I can see things clearly when accessing the camera using the app. The Arlo Essential 1 is a great addition to the full pack that is available as well. I like the ability to rotate the camera and directed where wanted. I also like the motion sense technology built in. The camera connects easily to the app. The instructions are simple and easy to follow. I really enjoy using the Arlo Essential 1 camera. Like I mentioned before. It is a great addition to all of their other products. The build quality is ok. Nothing to complain about. I would try to avoid dropping it because you never know how it may effect the panning ability of the camera. My wife and I enjoy the ability to connect with our phones through the app. When we leave we can easily arm the unit and it will inform us if anything or anyone enters into the camera frame. We like being able to check on our cat or dogs while away as well with this camera. Overal I like it and would recommend getting it if you are in the market.

Camera works well, its a little slow when I am trying to move it around but eventually clears up and shows me the live view

I Love it have used Arlo cameras before and liked them

camera works great for price.i would definitely recommend

This is one of my favorites brands, great quality

Camera works well but is worthless unless you buy a subscription that is a minimum of $20 a month if you have multiple devices. I have the older Arlo cameras (that I love) that comes with 7 days of free cloud recordings. I bought these cameras not knowing that they discontinued that option.

I was so excited to try these cameras out to finally be able to keep an eye on my senior furbaby when I’m not home, but to my disappointment I found out these only work if you’re actively in the app looking at the camera live. It doesn’t record unless you’re on it live and you don’t get updates on movement and you also can’t look back at footage you weren’t looking at to check on things because as soon as you’re not on the app the camera goes into privacy mode.

Worked great for about a month, now a total dud. Will not stay connected, turns in then freezes on a shot from over 10 days ago, then loses connection even though it’s next to the router.

This camera gives you a wealth of features in a small budget friendly package. Setup is quick and easy with the Arlo mobile application. Connection to Wi-Fi is effortless as long as you make sure you are connecting to the 2.4mhz band. Most newer routers load balance among all available bands (2.4, 5 & 6). I highly recommend setting up an IoT SSID and limit it to the 2.4mhz band to alleviate any issues. Once you have it connected, update the firmware and pick a location, it works effortlessly. I am using it in a tabletop setup to monitor my son during his home schooling. It gives a clear view of the entire room and the camera follow's motion very well. I like that he can ask me questions while I'm anywhere in the house and I can respond back from my phone also. Audio is crisp, with only a slight delay. Picture quality is great even in low light. The Arlo application allows seamless integration if you wish to integrate more cameras to give a complete monitor of your home. It comes with a 30-day trial of cloud integration to save camera history. I don't need it for my usage purposes, but if you are using it for home security, the cloud integration is reasonable at only $7.99 per month.

This review is for the Arlo essential indoor pan tilt camera, Unboxing and setup was very easy to add to my Arlo account. Simply put the camera in pairing mode by holding the button on top for a few seconds, and it was discovered by the app instantly. It has 360* pan and 180* tilt with motion and audio detection. It does a really good job of keeping the camera centered on any movement in its view. So if you walk across the room it's in, the camera will follow you. The camera's movement could be a little quieter. When tracking movement you can hear the camera moving. It's not loud by any means but does bring attention to it. When viewing through the Arlo app you can control it, moving the camera around to see what you would like to see. And the picture quality is good. You can easily identify people or pets, It's a clean picture not blurry at all. Also has 2-way audio. You can hear and speak through the camera. There is a small delay in the audio when talking but not too bad. And no need to worry about batteries as this unit is a wall plug in.

Arlo is a well known, trusted, quality brand security system company. This particular camera comes with a mount, screws and a power cord and of course instructions on setup and use. The company even gives you a 30-day trial of the Arlo Secure subscription, which I have to assure I have everything needed to feel perfectly secure in my home. This camera takes 2K videos. The clarity and color is very good which Arlo is well known for. The USB-C power cord is about 16 feet long, so you can place the camera pretty much anywhere you want in a room. This tilt indoor camera is great for security and helps make sure your home and family are safe. It can also be a good addition if you already have other Arlo security cameras, as I do, inside and out. I couldn’t feel more secure with this and my other cameras. I feel as if I were living in Fort Knox. You can mount this camera to either a wall or ceiling. You can even just set it on a shelf to view the area you want to keep an eye on. I have it in a corner and it pretty much views the whole living room, into the kitchen and even the front door and windows. I definitely feel very secure just knowing it is here. Setting up this camera is surprisingly simple. You just need to upload the Arlo app and follow the instructions. There is no need for a hub as the camera connects to your WiFi. With the app you can turn the camera side to side and move the lens up and down to view the entire area you have the camera in which is nice if you can’t get a full view of the room you want secured completely. You can do many things with this camera such as track motion, sound alarms, identify a threat and you can even contact emergency services in case of an emergency. When using the Arlo app, you can have a two-way conversation if you are away from home. I have used the camera to talk to my daughter while out and about. If it is in the middle of the night and there are no lights on, this camera has night vision to detect any intruder or your teenager sneaking in or out late at night. Gotcha! If you plan on using this as a security camera, you probably should use the Arlo Secure subscription to take full advantage of what the camera can do. If you have the subscription, you will be able to store video up to 60 days, see the Live View and watch saved videos away from home and much more. This is a great indoor camera with so many uses. It can be used as a basic security camera, you can put it in the baby’s room as a monitor, among many other things. I highly recommend this very versatile security camera.
