Arlo’s Essential Outdoor HD camera is a wireless, WiFi connected weather-resistant outdoor camera designed to be positioned wherever is convenient for you. It can withstand all manner of weather conditions to display 1080p full high definition and live streaming video. Although a paid plan is required for features like cloud storage, 24/7 support and people, package and vehicle detection, the camera itself features an integrated spotlight and siren, motion detection and notifications.
Arlo's second generation, wired indoor security camera offers two-way audio and 2K video quality. Real time notifications are sent when the camera senses motion, and live video streaming can be viewed within the Arlo app. Remote siren activation, night vision and a 130 degree field of view are also controlled within the app, and the camera can be paired with smart home assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant as well as IFTTT automations.
Best Black Friday Arlo home security deals
This bundle includes one of Arlo’s standard Essential Wireless Security Cameras, with 2K video, integrated spotlight, two-way audio and motion detection, along with a solar panel that will keep your Arlo camera charged when receiving direct sunlight. The wireless Arlo camera runs on batteries, making it easy to position anywhere, and it can receive power from the solar panel to extend its lifespan. Both pieces of the bundle are weather-resistant, and the panel has an included 8-foot magnetic power cable and adjustable mount.
Especially helpful for those who already have a set-up and perhaps just need to add more cameras, or those who are looking to start building out a home security system, this two camera bundle from Arlo includes two of its Essential Security Cameras which features 2K video, two-way audio, motion detection, night vision, real time notifications and a spotlight. The savings extend to the rest of the Essential bundles: the 3-Pack is now $120, and the 5-Pack is 45% off at $250.
Anyone who is instead looking for a great deal on a video doorbell should check out this one on Arlo’s 2K video doorbell. We found a lot to like about it – for example, it works with Google, Alexa and HomeKit and can be easily installed because it runs on a battery or can be hardwired. The 2K resolution produces incredibly sharp video with 12x digital zoom. However, many of the features are gated behind the subscription and the device itself is a bit bulky.
This bundle pairs two of Arlo's beefy indoor/outdoor spotlight cameras with its smart hub - which can connect and manage your camera and other smart home devices as well as improve range and store video. The cameras features 4K HDR, color night vision, two-way audio, a built-in siren, and auto zoom and tracking, while the smart hub stores videos on a microSD card (sold separately), and can connect all your Arlo devices into a single ecosystem.
