Our take on the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Indoor Security Camera 2K

The Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Indoor Camera is a 2K (2560x1440) Wi-Fi camera that pans and tilts to cover a whole room from one spot. It has a motion sensor and app control, and it is built for indoor use only. Against fixed indoor cams, the moving lens covers more floor without buying several units; against cheaper 1080p rivals, the 2K sensor keeps faces and details clearer. Arlo's app and subscription tiers are the usual sticking point, so check what you get without a plan.
