Customer Ratings & Reviews

over the last several I have bought over 10 Arlo cameras, Essential, Pro, Ultra, Pan and have liked them enough to keep buying them beause the feature and image quality were great. If you have done any research youu know Arlo is know for releasing stuff that is very buggy, but it usually still works, but I still bought them because it was worth it. This camera shouldn't be sold. Five feet from a few month old router, the pan controls work instantly but the video feed is a minute behind, if it works at all, it is absolutely ridiculous. The Camera show a strong connection. I reset the camera and wifi several times. I did the updates, nothing made it better. I am not a beginner or a novice

I have bought three of these and they’re the best cameras out there for quality for the price sound and picture quality

Recently, I had a friend pass away. Since I am taking care of her property until her family gets the estate in order, I felt that I needed an extra set of eyes to make sure that there wasn’t going to be anyone attempting to take advantage of her home. Well, it’s not entirely empty since she had a couple of cats that still reside inside. I decided that something like the Arlo Essential 1 Camera would be something that I needed to keep the property safely watched. Set Up: Securing the wall mount is simple. Once you’ve secured the mount (screws included), fit the Arlo camera into place, then plug it in. From there, you will need to use the Arlo app to connect the camera to the device you are using. Performance: I will admit that using this Arlo camera is somewhat fun since I have never owned a fully controllable camera. The video feed is sharp and doesn’t have any pixelation distortion. Using the app, I am able to have full control over the camera. Moving it from left to right, up and down, and zooming in. The 12x zoom was more detailed than I had expected. There is a slight latency when controlling the camera. It was only by a couple of seconds on my end. The app allows you to create up to five zones of detection if you want a specific area to not trigger the motion detection. With Smart Detection, you can calibrate what kind of alerts you can receive pertaining to what the camera detects. With my camera, I catch the view of a side patio door that opens to a driveway. Let’s say that someone pulls into that driveway. I am going to get an alert because I want the camera to detect a vehicle, rather than alerting me because a cat inside gets near the doors. The camera also has an alarm along with a light that provides a decent amount of illumination. While you get a free month of access to Arlo’s Enhanced Protection, which includes audio detection, archived recordings, etc, if you decide not to opt for their annual billing for the service, then you have limited features after that. Closing: The Arlo Essential Camera is great because it gives the user actual control over the camera. The camera is plugged into an outlet, so I don’t have to be concerned about battery life and charging. This camera is definitely providing a service of giving me peace of mind, knowing that if someone comes snooping around the house, I will know. And as a bonus, I get to observe the cats and tell them not to get on the counters looking for treats.

Great product. I always find arlo to have good products , and company good service. The tilt cam is nice easy to install . Set up good , and camera works very well .

Love the camera, super easy to install, & set up. Down load the app and your ready to go.

I love it....very good quality for the price. We are impressed with all functions that it has. We first bought one and had to go get a second one... Will recommend 1000%

Over all good we got to watch our dogs in their houses. The movement is a little delayed, but works well for our purposes.

Upgraded my camera's from solar to direct wired because the solar wouldn't stay charged. This is a great upgrade.

Without a doubt, this was one of the best cameras I have ever purchased. It has incredible quality and, what's more, it follows the movement of the person or pet, being able to rotate up to 360°. I am absolutely very satisfied.

Works really well. Was easy to connect to my Arlo account and system. Would recommend.

This is the best plugs in never have to charge. Great price

Works great, very easy to install. It was very easy to connect to the arlo app.

Love it! Way better than fixed cameras and ai gives a description which is cool. Only thing I wish the cable was longer but other than that it's been great.

I really love that is a plug in, so once installed I don’t have to worry about changing batteries. Great quality picture, excellent night vision.

I love this camera; it makes security much easier.

I switched to Arlo after getting frustrated with my other camera setup. These work great and I have two.

Very neat camera will follow the person until it cannot
