The Arlo Essential Indoor Camera (2nd Gen) is a compact cube-shaped Wi-Fi camera for indoor monitoring, with a physical privacy shield that swings over the lens when you want it off. It records 2K (2560x1440) video, has night vision, a built-in siren, two-way audio and 12x digital zoom, and works with Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT. The best new price is $18.00 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is little price competition to compare against. Note that the listing describes 1080p in its text while the specs say 2K; confirm the resolution on the box before buying.
