The Arlo Essential 2K (2560 × 1440) is a wireless IP security camera designed for indoor and outdoor use. It provides 2K colour video day and night with a 130° field of view and 12x digital zoom. The compact camera detects motion, streams live video to the app, and supports two‑way audio, a built‑in intruder alarm and a motion‑activated spotlight. Optional Arlo Secure subscription (sold separately) adds cloud storage, advanced detection features and Theft Protection.

Advantages

Recommendations

For optimal results, install the camera 2–3 metres above ground and angle it slightly downward to cover entrances or pathways. If you require video history, advanced object detection or Theft Protection, subscribe to an Arlo Secure plan. Ensure the mounting location is within range of your Wi‑Fi network and avoid pointing the camera directly at strong light sources.
