Arlo Essential Indoor Camera 2K (2nd Gen) – Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Privacy Shield

Overview

Meet the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera, a discreet companion for indoor security. Its 2K video captures crisp, shareable detail, while a broad 130-degree field of view helps you monitor larger spaces in a single glance. Quick setup uses a 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi connection, letting you place or mount the camera with minimal fuss.

Sharp imagery day and night

From sunlit living rooms to dim hallways after dark, the camera's night vision provides clear, legible footage. The combination of high resolution and a wide lens helps you distinguish people and pets as they move through your space.

Smart, timely notifications

Motion sensors are tuned to detect activity and push real-time alerts to your phone. You can start a live stream instantly to assess what’s happening and respond using the built‑in 2‑way audio, even if you’re across town.

Privacy on demand

The Automated Privacy Shield lets you close the lens with a tap, giving you on‑demand privacy without removing the camera. When privacy is not needed, you still benefit from continuous monitoring and streaming.

Easy setup and smart home ready

With a straightforward DIY setup in minutes, manage notification preferences and live video from the Arlo Secure app. It integrates with Alexa and Google Home, and Apple Home compatibility may require an Arlo SmartHub.

Plans, storage, and better alerts

A paid Arlo Secure plan can extend video history, enable person/vehicle recognition, and offer specialized alerts (packages, animals, or fires). Basic usage remains functional with live streaming and alerts at no extra charge.
