Our take on the Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera HD (2nd Gen) - Wireless 1080p Security Surveillance Camera - 1-Cam

The Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera (2nd Gen) is a battery-powered 1080p Wi-Fi camera for indoor or outdoor use. It adds an integrated spotlight, a siren you can trigger from the Arlo Secure app, color night vision and noise-canceling two-way audio. At $44.99 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, it is a low entry price for a single camera, but a paid Arlo Secure plan is needed after the trial for cloud storage and person, package and vehicle detection.

Questions and answers

Do I need an Arlo Secure subscription?
No for live view, motion alerts and two-way audio. You need a paid plan after the trial for cloud storage and person, package and vehicle detection.
How long does the battery last?
Arlo rates it for months of use, but heavy motion alerts and spotlight use drain it faster. Most owners recharge every few weeks to a few months.
Does it work with Alexa and Google Home?
Yes. It supports Amazon Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT, and you can view live video on compatible Alexa and Google screens.
Is it wired or wireless?
It runs on a rechargeable battery and connects over Wi-Fi, so no power cable is needed at the mount.
What is in the box?
One camera, a rechargeable battery, a mounting kit and a charging cable. A microSD card is not included and local storage is not supported.
Is $44.99 a good price?
It is the only new price listed and well below the camera's usual $60 to $100 range, so it is a strong deal if you accept the subscription for premium features.
