Amazon is now offering the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera for $78.49 shipped. Normally fetching $100, you’re looking at one of the very first notable discounts since launching last year, with today’s offer saving you 22% and marking a new all-time low. Delivering a standalone smart home security camera that pairs right to your home’s Wi-Fi, Arlo Essential sports an indoor design that’s backed by a 1080p sensor and 130-degree field of view. Alongside a built-in siren, there’s two-way talk capabilities as well as support for both Alexa and Google Asssitant. Night vision, motion alerts, and a unique automated privacy shield round out the package. Our hands-on review takes a look at how the camera fairs in an Assistant ecosystem, and you can get more details down below.
If integration with Arlo’s smart home security stable isn’t that big of a draw, going with something like the more afforable Wyze Cam V3 is worth considering instead. This offering arrives with a simialr indoor and standalone design, sporting much of the same 1080p recording and voice assistant features, too. It just so happens to have a lower $36 price tag.
Speaking of Arlo, the brand just showcased its latest and greatest at CES 2022 this week. Delivering its first smart home security system, Arlo is taking a unique approach by packing as much tech into its upcoming six-in-one sensors as possible while pledging support for the Matter smart home ecosystem. Launching sometime later this year, our launch coverage details everything you need to know in the meantime.
