Mighty Security System
Great picture and clear audio! I love being able to work in my office and watch my kids playing in the livingroom. Love the tilt feature and how the camera tracks movement. I want one in every room of the house! Small but powerful camera.

Meh.
The camera pans really slow, and I haven’t figured out how to best use the features. The app is not very user friendly. I prefer Blink and Ring over Arlo so far. The notifications seem to work only sometimes, and the camera will go into sleep mode when it’s supposed to be armed.

Safe and sound, Arlo what an amazing product!
Such an amazing product! I was so impressed with the Arlo essential pan tilt indoor security camera. This blew my expectations away. I was not assuming that this product would have had the excellent amount of quality that it does. The audio is crisp. The visuals are precise. It is so cool how you can monitor faces and the camera actually moves and rotates as objects and...

Happy
I’ve been using the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Indoor Camera for a few weeks and I’m impressed with its performance. The installation was very simple and it took less than 10 minutes to set up and connect to the app. The video quality is crystal clear, especially in 2K resolution, and I love that I can pan and tilt the camera remotely from my phone. Motion detection is res...

Loved it till the subscription part.
This camera had a slight yellowing to it, but overall, it wasn't a bad camera. It was clear enough for inside the house. It was an easy plug in and bluetooth to an app. The app is somewhat easy to navigate. Found out you have to pay to use the camera. Kinda disappointed in that part.

Very nice camera
I have owned many around cameras and this one is by far one of the best ones I have owned. It mounts and tracks movement. You can also remotely move it from your phone. The video quality is very good and it has excellent zoom.

Meh!
It’s an ok option if you’re on a budget. The big issue for me was the lagging when in live mode. It is egregious even with the highest speed internet on the market and over WiFi. The app is also super basic. The big positive here is the ease of installation.

Super easy set up, simple app
I’ve had multiple security cameras, this was by far a the simplest to set up. Video quality is very good, even in poor lighting. The app has a lot of features, including some good security options that you can pay extra for. But the camera itself does the trick for me.

So Many Features!
This camera has a lot of really great features that make monitoring your home seamless. First, the very accessible app helps things run smooth with the ability to arm, or disarm your home at the press of one simple button. I appreciate that when the camera is disarmed, the camera lens turns downward. I think this helps myself and guests feel more comfortable.

Easy setup, works great
This camera was super easy to setup in the app, and works well. The video quality is good, and I like that you can pan the camera around. Using the manual panning is a bit laggy, but isn’t a huge deal. I use this camera in my office when I’m away from the house so I can check in on everything. The automatic following once motion is detected works great as well.

Great camera with great qualities for a great pric
Super nice camera. Installation was easy as 1, 2, 3 and that includes integrating it with my Alexa Echo Show. The video quality is great, I love how it picks up motion and zooms into that area then out again. Visibility at night with night vision is also good and compare able to most other cameras with at-least 20-30 feet of clear picture. Highly recommended.

Awesome camera!
This indoor camera is so cool and modern! You can either install it on the wall or just place it on a flat surface. It is super easy to set up on the phone as well with their app. It tracks movement so it can rotate 360 degrees and follow whatever is moving. You can go on the app and see the video live or older clips. You can also talk through the camera live as well wh...

First-time user and really impressed so far
As someone using a home camera for the first time, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The setup was super easy and I had it up and running within minutes, installation process was not bad at all.

Didn't know I needed it until I got it!
This camera is great for our grand babies' room. It makes it easy to see them while they are sleeping, playing, or getting into trouble. Easy to set up and easy to use. Clear videos and love the night vision!

Very nice quality recording
So I set this camera outside in my porch just to get an idea on how well it works. The video quality is pretty good. The app is useful but I feel like it could be far better. I couldn’t figure out a way to get the camera to stop recording over the smallest motion unless you turn it to home and than it just doesn’t pick up any movement. I had over 600 video’s of nothing...

Overall pretty good
The night vision is quite good as is the video quality and the motion detection. Overall I’m very happy with it. It provided nice peace of mind checking in on my cat while I was away overnight. I did an incredibly fast set up process. I can tell this camera has a ton of amazing features to utilise, I just need to actually read through the steps and learn how to use it a...

Monthly Paid Security Plan is Too Expensive
I think the app was nice for easy setup and to customize the security camera. The video quality is fine at 2K but there are better cameras out there. My big issue is that it's essentially a paperweight without a paid plan. I don't want to pay monthly for a single camera so I'm just using the camera as a deterrent for porch pirates instead. I was hoping there was a daily...

Good security camera with decent quality, but some
The camera works well overall, but there are a few small drawbacks. The video quality is decent, though sometimes it can be a little blurry and slightly delayed. Occasionally it doesn’t connect right away, which can be frustrating when trying to check in quickly. Once it’s running, the features are useful and it still provides good peace of mind, but it could be a bit m...
