Arlo Essential Wireless Camera 2nd Generation Review

Today, we are going to review and check out the Arlo Essential Wireless Camera 2nd Generation. Nothing exciting about this camera except its pricing. Arlo realized that they need to lower or offer lower priced cameras for them to be competitive in this smart security camera market.

I just installed my old Arlo pro 2 HD camera and a Gen Pro 3 floodlight camera. I am happy with it in how easy it is to setup, connect, options to put in place of system or individual camera, ability to place a USB memory stick to place videos/pictures if I do not open an account for their monitoring. Floodlight is great for its field of view and lights are very strong, also its customization is great. Love that no need to register with accounts like amazon and others is what I want.

I used to be a heavy arlo user since 2016. I had loads of camera with them, mainly wireless. Arlo, Arlo Pro, Arlo Pro 2, Arlo Essential etc. There was just too much delay with notifications and slow to stream. I stopped using them and their subscription when I moved houses last year. I now have Ring cameras and one Eufy. Which I find better for video streaming and notifications.

I have 5 arlo pro and 5 arlo pro2s on 2 different properties, they all have worked fine for years, they are all together doing 500 plus recordings a day to the cloud without issue. There must be different issues with others homes either their internet speed or wifi connection is crap. I watch a lot of internet videos all the while the cams upload videos, some can be 5 minute long too.

I added this camera to my Arlo pro 2 base station without any hassles and it does not require a monthly subscription. The monthly subscription unlocks additional features that Arlo offers but for standard camera security and recording, you can add any Arlo camera to your existing base station without a monthly subscription.

I’ve had an Arlo floodlight camera for a couple years and I like it. it sucks on the subscription part but I’ve tried some other real basic cameras and Arlo is definitely been over all the best out of the ones I tried based on my money situation

The included mounts in my Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera 2K 2nd generation has fixed mounts and cannot be rotated? Any idea why? Is the one I have an old version or an updated cheaper version?

[jeffbrund]

Damn….I didn’t find this vid until I received the Arlo cameras I ordered. I didn’t know there was only a cloud subscription 🤦‍♂️. They suck for doing that. Guess I’m returning them.
Btw….love how well you do your vids. You will be my go to guy! 👍

I will never ever think of Arlo again. I may think of several brands even to replace part of my Ring’s cameras. 💐🌹👍🌷💐

[tonypphk]

nice demo for video quality, thanks a lot

[steviecoleman]

Also I had to upgrade to a mesh wifi system because the camera kept dropping off my network.

wondering if this is able to be used with a PC? the Essential Spotlight was able to be used on a PC. does this use the same application(same MyArlo/Web Portal) as the Essential Spotlights did(which didn't require a smart phone or tablet)?

[edelmanV]

Help, not can install My camera arlo essential Outdoor in My app of phone

[BathSaltedRacoon]

Just installed one overseas and it works marvelously ❤ there is a 2.5 second delay from the actual feed but that’s okay since I wanted a security camera and not an intercom type thing

[jayblaze]

Any suggestions on wireless security cameras for large homes?

[lewisgustav]

can this/its app be used with a PC? I don't have a tablet or smart phone.

[eduardos.r.]

In my application, the second generation cameras do not appear, what can I do?

Can someone help me, I haven't been able to use my cameras for 5 months.

[Handguardsandhandlebars]

Hello does this cameras still record if the Internet shuts off or it lose his connection.

[techtalkgeek]

So, it doesn't have the micro SD card for local recording huh? I think I missed something.

would you go with these or the blink outdoor 4? both have bundle deals for good savings (4 arlo cams 200, 5 blink outdoors for 230) eutsy seems to be on top only iffu get the modem with it< but i wouldnt feel the savings until after year 2-3.
