  • Our take on the Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera 2K (2nd Gen)

    The Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera 2K (2nd Gen) is a wireless outdoor security camera with 2K video, a 130-degree view, color night vision, two-way audio and motion alerts. It runs on a rechargeable battery and connects over Wi-Fi, with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support. It suits renters and homeowners who want a wire-free camera without a hub. Against rivals, it has sharper video than 1080p cameras and no subscription is needed for live view, but person, package and vehicle detection and cloud video history require an Arlo Secure plan.

    Questions and answers

    Do I need a subscription to use it?
    No for live view, motion alerts and two-way audio. Person, package and vehicle detection and cloud video history need an Arlo Secure plan.
    How long does the battery last?
    Arlo rates it for months on a charge with light activity. Heavy motion recording shortens that a lot, so busy areas may need more frequent charging.
    Does it work without a hub?
    Yes. It connects directly to Wi-Fi, so no base station is required.
    Can it tell people from animals?
    Yes, but only with an Arlo Secure plan. Without one you get standard motion alerts.
    Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?
    Yes. You can view the feed on compatible smart displays and use voice commands.
    Is it fully wireless?
    Yes. It runs on a rechargeable battery and connects over Wi-Fi, so no power cable is needed.
