Arlo Essential Compact Indoor Plug-in Smart Security Camera, 1080p, 2-Way Audio, Animal & Pet Detection, Alerts, Built-in Siren, Night Vision, With Free Trial of Arlo Secure Plan, Black

Top quality picture and sound. Nice and small really easy to setup. Privacy shield is a bonus feature.

Great camera for indoors, I can open and close the privacy screen using the Arlo app on my phone no matter where I am. It’s wired for power but connects through WiFi. Sound quality is good and you can set the area for motion detection on the app too.It’s quite expensive for what it is and I’ve seen cheaper that could most likely do the same job but I have an arlo subscription so it made sense for me to get this one.One thing I would mention is that to watch past recordings you will need to buy a subscription package with Arlo although you can watch it live without (I think)

Arlo Indoor Home Security Camera System CCTV is a product that is giving us peace of mind, especially when we are away from home for longer.The device was completely effortless to set up and Arlo’s app does everything I need. There are subscription services available for cloud storage and monitoring that I will consider when the trial is up.It took me only 5 minutes to set it up. Make sure you connect the 2.4 GHz network, not the 5 GHz. It won't connect on the 5 GHz network.The video is clear, has IR night vision, the siren is quite loud and annoying which is perfect to scare the intruders, and the privacy shutter is very reassuring!The voice response is slightly delayed, as to be expected with something having to go through the internet, but still very nice for quick messages to delivery drivers and guests. The camera is very easy to mount and comes with a detachable mounting plate.Overall, this is a very nice, inexpensive camera.Thank you for reading my honest and unbiased review, I hope you found it helpful! :)

Sent this back. Cable & port are a really bad design as the port is near the base. Once the cable is plugged in it makes positioning very difficult & just tips over as the base is too lightweight

This could be an unfair review but I have to say it as it is!! Just for information we have 5 external Arlo outdoor camera's which are performing really well and have no issues with those.However from day one of setting up our Arlo indoor camera, it has been troublesome. I researched the issues that I was having, flickering screen when looking at live pictures tried adjusting the flicker rate but no difference. It appeared to be when trying to watch live view at night to make sure the dog was ok. Obviously it was useless and couldn't see a thing. I checked by turning off each appliance one by one to see if it was interference but still no joy. There were no lights on so it shouldn't have been caused by lightning etc?I have now moved the camera to a different location making sure there are no I.R reflections.The other problem is it takes ages to connect when clicking on live view?If these issues are still ongoing , I will send it back for a refund. Its not a cheap camera, in fact at £120 it's expensive for what it is but I didn't expect these issues especially as my outdoor camera's are working perfectly and have done so from day one.So at this point in time , I'm really disappointed with it. I will update this review if the issues are cleared up from what I've done so far. I'll give it another few days if the camera continues to be troublesome it will be going back to the retailer.Positives are when it is working correctly the clarity of the picture is excellent.I have only rated it as 2 stars for now but if the problems are cleared up, I will relook at it.Update to this review 2 days later. A little better but this camera is highly sensitive to IR reflection. The flicker problem I think was caused by the top of an open internal door. The camera was originally on top of a cupboard and I think it was too close to the open door. Since I moved the camera and mounted it directly to the wall that problem has disappeared. However the flickering is back in the morning when there is a transition from night to day. I don't think it affects the recordings but it's annoying if you want to look at a live view, so I have to turn off the I R mode. Of all the other makes of indoor cameras I've had this is the only one that has caused issues. Its such a shame as I never expected this from Arlo. I'm 50/50 whether to send it back but because all my camera's are Arlo I wanted them all on one app?Another issue that's just appeared intermittently is the picture turns a shade of green in the daylight, so I'm going to have to look that up to see what's going on.Did not expect these issues but I have upgraded from 2 stars to 3 ??

I was really impressed with the first version of this camera. The resolution, and clarity on this latest version, is noticeably much better. The ui is very straight forward, and easy to navigate through. Arlo has always been great value for money, and I’ve never had any issues with network connectivity. A perfect purchase, to monitor your home whilst on the move. 👌👍

Unfortunately purchased my first camera in the official website. This one is exactly the same at nearly half the price with prime day discount.

Great picture, easy set up, alerts couldn’t ask for more
