    I am pleased with the Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera system we recently purchased. I provided 4 stars because I've had some issues with the cameras picking up motion in all the active zones.

    Really like this Arlo. One thing to know is that if there is an outage at your house and your Arlo goes down and you have to call the service dept, you have to pay for a one time or annual fee to get the updates to get it back on line. But we like the ability to turn it on and off and the ability to look at recordings when cars drive up to make sure we know who was there when we are not home.

    Wireless Battery Powered 1080P Security Camera

    The Arlo - Essential Spotlight Camera – Indoor/Outdoor Wire-Free 1080p Security Camera offers easy installation with a completely wireless design. No external power required. The included rechargeable battery is estimated to last 6 month between charges! It measures a trim 3.5” x 2” X 3” and only weighs 3/4 lb. I was thrilled with the sharp, clear 1080P video quality. I view this camera both on my Google Home and my Alexa Show. It even sends alerts to my Apple Watch! This is my only security camera that produces a color image at night. The camera senses motion up to 23 feet. This covers my driveway completely, so I am immediately alerted to visitors on foot or in their car as they enter our yard. This camera has a built-in spot light, which can be activated by action. It also features 2-way voice between the person watching the phone, Google Home or Alexa Show, and the person being captured by the camera. It actually has a built-in microphone and speaker. The voice is clear, helped by built-in noise cancellation. An optional solar panel is available to keep the camera battery charged, so you never have to use the included battery charging cable. This is a very smart option, as it makes the camera completely maintenance free. CONCLUSION: I use several security camera manufacturers’ cameras inside and outside of my house. Most require 120 Volt AC power. I use this camera on the side of the house that has no power available. It is the perfect camera for this application. In fact, this weather resistant camera works so well & lasts so long on it’s battery, that I plan to buy several more Arlo Essential cameras for outside viewing. I highly recommend it.
