Arlo Essential Indoor Camera Review
The Arlo Essential Indoor Camera makes sense when you already pay for Arlo. It is a fixed plug-in camera with a privacy shutter. It is not our value pick against a Tapo C225.

Worth a look
The Wyze Cam Pan v3 is a 1080p pan camera we would buy only on a deep sale, and only if you already use Wyze. A Tapo C225 or a Reolink E1 Pro is the better new purchase.
Editor's pick
The Aqara Camera Hub G3 is our HomeKit indoor camera. It pans, it is 2K, it has a shutter, and it can be a Zigbee hub. You still need an Apple home hub and iCloud.
Ecosystem pick
The Ring Indoor Cam is the camera we prefer when Ring Protect is already paid for a doorbell. The privacy cover is the hardware highlight. The plan is the product.
Strong fit
The Reolink E1 Zoom is the indoor pan camera we prefer when 3x optical zoom matters, or when you may add an NVR. Most homes should buy a Tapo C225 instead.
Ecosystem pick
The wired Nest Cam is the indoor camera we prefer inside Google Home, with Nest Aware priced in. It is not the camera we prefer for local storage or for a room that needs to pan.
Ecosystem pick
The Blink Mini 2 is the indoor camera to add when you already live in Blink. It is 1080p, tiny, and plug-in. It is not the camera we would start a new subscription for.
Budget pick
The Wyze Cam v4 is the fixed indoor camera we prefer at the low end. 2.5K, a card slot, and a plug. It does not pan, and its color night vision uses a spotlight.
Editor's pick
The Tapo C225 is the budget indoor camera we prefer. 2K, pan and tilt, a physical shutter, starlight night vision, and a card slot. Step up to the eufy S350 only when the room needs a second lens.
