Arlo Essential Indoor HD is a compact indoor security camera aimed at motion alerts and phone notifications, with automated privacy shielding and two way audio. The app supports live view and motion alerts, and the system can be useful for keeping tabs on multiple properties. The main drawback is the subscription model, since recording and smart detection require Arlo Secure, and cancellation is described as difficult. Longtime praise for battery life and reliability is outweighed by complaints that the company has heavily restricted older customers, making it a cautious pick if you want subscription free security.
Common Questions (3)
The camera is not a good fit if you want a subscription-free system, because Arlo is described as subscription-only or heavily dependent on Arlo Secure. The practical tradeoff is that basic alerts may work, but the full feature set and recording are tied to paid service.
Live view and motion alerts work without a subscription, but recording and smart detection require Arlo Secure. That makes the camera usable for basic monitoring, while paid service is needed for saved clips and advanced detection features.
Cancellation can be difficult enough that a credit-card dispute was needed after repeated failed attempts to get Arlo to cancel the subscription. That makes the ongoing service commitment a real risk to consider before buying.

I also pay for nest as well but it's not as good for alerting if there is motion but the thumbnail preview is nice. Arlo makes a noise when it detects motion which is GREAT for security. I have a couple in one room and when someone walks by it sends audible notifications to my phone at once and so I know which cam it is.
If anyone knows of a camera system better than arlo for notifying you for security please let me know.
EDIT: I should further clarify the system I use. I pay for nest and I have multiple nest cameras all over the place, sometimes it sends me thumbnail notifications when it detects motion, I have arlo as the main notifier if someone goes where they shouldn't be going, I also have about 40 reolink cameras that are recording 24/7. So I use all three systems at the same time.
