Arlo has long been known for making some of the best home security cameras — albeit at a premium — but recently it has been expanding into budget territory. The Arlo Essential Pan Tilt is aimed at bringing that Arlo quality to a lower price point, with 360-degree pan capabilities and a 2K video resolution.
The company has both an indoor and an outdoor version of this camera; in this review, I'm taking the outdoor-compatible model for a spin. While the two share most features, the outdoor model is, of course, designed to be mounted and used in a variety of weather conditions, but still at a very reasonable price. It also faces tough competition from the likes of Wyze and other budget models. Is it worth buying over the others?
