- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025Style: 2K Indoor 2nd GenSize: 2 CamerasVerified PurchaseLove this camera! It was super easy to set up, the image is clear and sharp and I love the privacy shield so you are not always being recorded and can use when needed. The app is very user friendly and I love the small video clips that show me what crazy things my dogs do when I am gone. The motion detection (and people vs. animal detection) is great, the custom settings are nice, overall a great buy. The only thing is it uses more bandwidth than our previous cameras so it can slow internet speed if you do not have fiber.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2024Style: 2K Indoor 2nd GenSize: 1 CameraVerified PurchaseI recently got the Arlo Essential Indoor Wired Security Camera (2nd Gen), and I’m really impressed! Setting it up was super easy—I had it up and running in no time. Since it’s wired, I don’t have to stress about batteries dying on me, which is a big plus.
The video quality is fantastic. The 1080p resolution gives a super clear picture, even at night. The night vision works surprisingly well, so I can see everything even when it’s pitch black.
One feature I love is the motion detection. It’s really accurate and sends me alerts right away if there’s any movement in the room. Plus, there’s a privacy shield, so when I’m home and don’t need the camera on, I can just flip it off easily.
The two-way audio is another great feature. It’s perfect for checking in on my pets or talking to someone in the room. The sound is clear, and there’s no delay, which I really appreciate.
It also works smoothly with my smart home setup—I can control it with Alexa or Google Assistant, which makes things super convenient. And I like that the camera has a sleek, modern look that fits in nicely with my home.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2024Style: 2K Indoor 2nd GenSize: 1 CameraVerified PurchaseI recently got my hands on the Arlo Essential Indoor 2K Security Camera (2nd Gen), and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for me. Installation was a breeze; I had it up and running in no time. Now, I can keep an eye on my furry friend even when I'm not in the room or out of the house. The video and audio quality are top-notch, providing clear visuals and crisp sound.
However, my only gripes is that some features, like activity zones, require a subscription, and the night vision is not what I expected but is not what I'm using it for. It's a bit of a bummer to miss out on these without paying extra, but overall, I'm really satisfied with the camera's performance. It's definitely worth considering if you're in the market for a reliable indoor security solution that doubles as a pet monitor.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025Style: 2K Indoor 2nd GenSize: 2 CamerasVerified PurchaseThis camera has something called a privacy shield I did not know about. It is a white screen that flips up and down like a shutter and you cannot deactivate it. To use or see through the camera from your phone, even when you are already logged in the app, you have to input your password to temporarily drop the shield, as soon as you stop looking through it on your phone and back out this device/camera it closes the shield. This means you cannot get snippets of what the camera last captured like you can with all the other arlo cameras. It is very nice to see the snippet of all your devices from the device menu, but not with this camera. There is no preview, and it captures nothing, at all because the shield is closed 24/7. Its only of use when you want to see what is going on live at that moment, and thats it. The older cheaper version is way more useful than this one. If this was the only camera you had, and someone breaks into your house, it will capture NOTHING, because the shield. POOR DESIGN/FUNCTIONALITY
- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2025Style: 2K Indoor 2nd GenSize: 1 CameraVerified PurchaseGreat camera for indoors! Picture quality is great and you can even talk through the cameras and hear! It connects very easily and was super easy to set up! Picks up motion quickly!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025Style: 2K Indoor 2nd GenSize: 2 CamerasVerified PurchaseBest choice for an indoor camera. Privacy shield is a great feature. 2k is more than enough pixels for indoors. Power cable is long enough (about 7 feet) to find a good place to mount. Plan is reasonably priced at about $18/mo for multiple cameras.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025Style: 2K Indoor 2nd GenSize: 1 CameraVerified PurchaseThese cameras work great. Very easy to setup via wifi. Have purchase 6 and they respond quickly when called to display their image. Setting up for alarm mode is as easy as a push of a button. Product was delivered promptly after I ordered it.
