The Arlo Essential Indoor Camera (2nd Gen) is a 1080p Wi-Fi camera with a 130° view, night vision, a built-in siren and two-way audio. Its standout feature is a motorized privacy shield that physically covers the lens and can be scheduled or toggled in the Arlo app. It suits renters and families who want a simple indoor pet, baby or entryway camera and care about privacy. Against rivals like the Ring Indoor Cam and Wyze Cam, it offers the shield and a siren but fewer pixels and a subscription that gates most smart detection.
