The Arlo Essential XL Outdoor Camera is a solid choice for anyone looking to boost their home security with minimal hassle. Setup is quick and easy—both the camera installation and app pairing are straightforward, even for beginners. One of its standout features is smart object detection, which helps differentiate between people, animals, vehicles, and packages, cutting down on unnecessary alerts. The camera offers clear live video streaming, and the app’s customizable dashboard makes it easy to manage settings and view footage. It integrates smoothly with both Alexa and Google Home for added convenience. With an extended battery life and reliable performance, the Arlo Essential XL is a great all-around option for smart outdoor surveillance.

The Arlo Essential XL Outdoor Camera is a reliable and user-friendly security solution. Installation is straightforward, making it easy to set up and start using right away. However, one drawback is that removing the camera can be a bit challenging once it's mounted. Additionally, the image on the app experiences a slight delay, which can be a bit inconvenient. I've also used it for indoor usage, and it works great in that setting as well. I charged it as soon as I got it, and after a week, the battery hardly went down. Despite these minor issues, its performance and features make it a solid choice for both outdoor and indoor security.

Really good surveillance camera set. The image quality is outstanding and the opportunity to zoom in, talk through the camera and even start a sirene if there is somebody detected that shouldn't be there is worth the money. Compared to other surveillance cameras this product stands out.
