good quality speaker and camera
Very pleased with Arlo security camera. The quality of the camera and picture is impressive, especially considering the price. Like anything there is a small learning curve to a new system, but was really easy to adjust to, and easy to use. Battery life is also decently impressive. with these ones specifically you can also leave it plugged in so it lasts forever. has held up inside very well. very pleased and have recommended arlo to others already

Great indoor camera – simple, secure, and high-quality!
I’m very happy with this camera! The 2K video quality is sharp, even in night mode. Setup was quick and easy, and the app is user-friendly with real-time motion alerts. I especially love the automated privacy shield — it gives me peace of mind knowing the camera isn’t recording when I don’t want it to.I use it as both a baby monitor and a pet cam, and the two-way audio works perfectly — clear sound and fast connection. It really helps me feel connected and secure when I’m away.It would be even better with a wireless or backup battery option in case of power outages, but overall, it’s a great value and reliable device.Let me know if you want a shorter version for social media or a voiceover script.

GARBAGE GARBAGE GARBAGE W/no response from company..
UPDATE NUMBER???? GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY NEVER WORK EVER…Update: Still not working, the delay is ridiculous… every time I need to see what is going on in my home, they spin and spin and spin, sound doesn’t work right. I have added photos I know they don’t really “do” much for the review, but this is what they do all the time.. shows the time it is just trying to load.My internet connection is very good, never ever ever problems with our streaming services, so I cannot imagine that’s the problem… I am tempted to purchase a plan just to see if they work better.. Maybe a different brand of camera should be the way to go.I received these in December 2024 and have been using them since. I have held off on a review because my initial review would have been terrible, and it still will be.My husband purchased these for me because I was worried about my elderly dogs at home. He states (and now this is my husband, so who knows) that he did a lot of research to find cameras that I would not need to pay for any type of plan. These are KINDA usable without a plan, you can still arm away and arm home but you no longer get recordings of motion detections. AND EVERY SINCE THE FREE TRIAL RAN OUT THE CONNECTIVITY OF THESE JUNK CAMERAS HAS GONE BAD.Sound Quality= Bad works sometimesValue for Money= buy the more expensive ones these are awfulSet up= Pretty simpleThe amount of time these cameras spend buffering and connecting is outrageous and makes me so angry when I try to check on my dogs, but these stupid cameras do nothing but buffer and try to connect.

Good camera, bad subscription plan
They work well and are easy to install. But hate the monthly fees and plans. Too expensive.

Very good
The Arlo Essential 2K Indoor Camera (2nd Gen) is a reliable wired security and baby monitor that delivers crisp 2K video, clear night vision, and smooth two-way audio. Its standout feature is the automated privacy shield, offering peace of mind when not recording. Setup through the Arlo app is easy, and smart alerts with an Arlo Secure subscription enhance motion detection accuracy. However, without the subscription, features are limited, and there’s no local storage option. Ideal for pet or baby monitoring, this camera provides great clarity and privacy but relies heavily on cloud service for full functionality.

Perfect for home
The camera is great for home. Was easy to set up, just need to download the app. Has night vision, microphone for hearing and speaking from phone to camera, my dog was getting on my couch when I left for work and I love being able to tell him to get down or no treats. The camera has little bit of a lag to it but with the price, I can’t complain
