The videos quality is top tier and with the pan tilt features l can see my entire back yard it even tracks my dog wherever it goes in the backyard

At only $40 and with so many features, this camera is amazing. Yes it does have a pant tilt and zoom mobility from the other camera that Arlo carries but the best part about this one as a spotlight so you can use this outdoor outdoors. I really like how the camera follows not only a person when it comes with a range, but it also follows my dogs and with the customizable settings, you can set alerts to add captions in the description area of the video of what the counter detective

The camera is pretty impressive for the price. But I’ve been dealing with drop out of communication. I would have to cycle the power to bring it back in. Also, the camera does not always follow what it senses. I’ve called Arlo and they are supposedly looking into the issues.

Love that it spins 360° and the full color night vision works great. The spotlight is great touch too.

Very good buy, the camera follos the person who enter into the zone.

Amazing Camera love the follow me quality is amazing. Doesn’t lose connection.

This new Arlo pan tilt security camera is great for the outdoor viewing of your home. It has all you need to monitor any space on your home, like 2K video 360 pan and 180 tilt, automatic motion tracking, clear color night vision, motion detection/ alerts, integrated siren , dual band WiFi and integrated spotlight. I think one of the best feature of this security camera is the pan & tilt, it let you monitor every corner of my property and I can turn the integrated spotlight so I can see a clear video of any motion activated. The camera is easy to install and easy to be add it to Arlo app, just install the camera in your decided location near a plug since this is a wired camera , add it to the app and follow the instructions. One of the down sides of this Arlo pan tilt camera besides being a wired camera is that it have a limited basic features included and unless you pay for an Arlo secure plan there’s some Arlo intelligence premium Ai technology features that are not available like video events history, person and vehicles recognition, smart activity zones, audio detection, video search, package detection and much more features that other cameras offers without charging a fee, also this camera doesn’t have a SD card slot to save videos in your network.

Great ARLO camera and great price also easy to use and setup

My friends and family call me a gadget addict. I can never have enough. In the home security area, I have an alarm company with its proprietary cameras. I'm also heavily invested in a specific company ecosystem and its A.I. cameras, doorbells and many other devices, but it never hurts to try something different to keep things in perspective. The Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Wireless 2K Security Camera brings a unique blend of good performance and versatility that many competitors have yet to match. This camera is installed upside down, either against the ceiling or eaves if outside, or against a wall with the provided wall bracket. It has indoor and outdoor capabilities thanks to its IP65 rating and, as the name implies, it can pivot left and right without restriction to a complete 360-degree, and up and down until parallel to the ground at 180-degree, which practically eliminates blind spots. Set-up is simple and easy with the Arlo Secure app. It comes with a 30-day trial of the Arlo Secure subscription which unlocks all the smart features and video history for up to 60 days. To my knowledge, it has no local storage capabilities. I installed it indoors until I’ll find the right spot outside for a permanent surveillance post. The 2K definition is clear with good colors. It has the ability to track and follow a moving person, object or animal with good precision and little noise. The smart features come in handy as it can describe what it’s seeing and tracking. As I placed it indoors, it was quick at identifying people walking by and my pet dog. At night, two powerful lights help provide color recording of good quality. It has a siren that sounds loud in a closed environment. It has 3 settings: Standby, Arm Home, Arm Away. I programmed it to switch to Arm Home late at night and switch back to Standby early in the morning on weekdays. The good performance is a bit hampered by the cumbersome app. The user interface could be refined and made easier to navigate. It took me a while to figure out the simple task of streaming a live video and controlling the movements of the camera. There is a lag when controlling it manually but it’s more than bearable. No complaints though for the two-way communication. It’s clear and crisp on both sides. Overall, the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Wireless 2K Security Camera is a great piece of hardware for the price. Although you need a subscription to take full advantage of all its features, this camera excels in delivering great image resolution, unmatched coverage possibilities with auto tracking, all with the peace of mind of a wired connection. It’s easy to set up despite a clunky app and easier to like for its reliable performance. It’s a must-have for those invested in the Arlo Secure ecosystem.

I received the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Outdoor Security Camera 2K in white, it is compact, light, seems to be well made and durable. It plugs into power rather than running on a battery, which keeps the body small enough to be discreet when mounted to a wall, fence, or eaves. The camera is mounted to a pan/tilt motor that can cover entire yard from one position. Once it detects motion, it automatically tracks the moving person or object. You get two-way audio with noise cancellation for back-and-forth talk, night vision for after-dark monitoring, and a built-in siren you can trigger manually or automatically. Pans 360 degrees and tilts 180 degrees, smooth, accurate motion tracking, clear 2K video, with a spotlight for color night vision. The camera has a dual-band Wi-Fi adapter that automatically locks onto the stronger of your 2.4- or 5GHz network signals for smoother streaming, works with Arlo Secure and Arlo Intelligence to deliver AI-powered alerts for people, vehicles, animals, and packages, animated preview notifications, and event captions that make alerts easier to interpret. On the downside, you won’t get any of that if you don’t sign up for a subscription. To set up the camera, just plug it in, add the device in the Arlo Secure app, and follow the on-screen prompts. The app handles Wi-Fi onboarding, firmware updates, and even evaluates your wireless signal strength automatically. Overall, the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Security Camera offers wide, intelligent coverage and strong everyday performance at a budget price.

I have always been a fan of Arlo cameras so was very excited to try this one out. I have been in need of a 360 Pan camera for a while now and was looking forward to this one. Out of the box it provided everything that would be needed. It was a good and sturdy bracket with good screws. It did not have an instruction manual however during the setup process via the app it does the walkthrough with included animations. The setup went well however froze during the firmware update. After a quick reboot it seem to work just fine again and stated firmware was updated. The picture quality is amazing and I really like how you can zoom into the shoot to get a better view of something. I was also impressed with the mic and 2way conversation. The light however is bright but felt it could be brighter. It does illuminate the immediate area however felt i wider light would extend further. The one thing that was an unfortunate surprise was this is wired and not on battery. I sure wish this came with a battery instead of having to run a wire outside into an outlet. I do like that Arlo provides a fairly lengthy wired plug however I still ended up having to use an extension cord to plug it in. Lastly is the delay, its a pain. When wanting to move the camera in any direction there is a delay and you can easily overshoot. A way to get around this is to create saved camera positions to easily get to your spot quickly. Overall this is a very impressive camera with great video and audio. I just wished it was on battery and there was no delay when it comes to movement of the camera.

I have been using Arlo cameras for several years. I have moved from the server based to the essentials that are all WiFi based. I currently have 2 essentials and a doorbell camera. This is added to my current setup. I am using this as a way to track deliveries to my house. I set this up on my porch. It does track people as they walk up and drop off a package. So far it also tracks the squirrels that are in the tree in my front yard. I have not gotten Arlo to learn to stop tracking them. The camera does have the street on its zone. The camera will go recognize a car and send a notification, but won’t track it. You can set up “home” so the camera will default back to a set position to look for more movements. I have not set up audio tracking but I’ll get to that. When you are setting this up. Try a few places and test them. I found a few places that looked good and actually were not. My only place faces the setting sun. Hope it does not melt. The picture quality is very good. Better than 1080. 2 complaints I hate plug creep. If you make a wall plug, it goes not be so large it takes over 2 outlets. There are extra pieces you may not need.
