There’s a right camera for every part of your home. When it comes to an expansive backyard, you’ll want more powerful lights and wide-view coverage. At the front door, your best bet is a video doorbell that lets you see and speak to visitors. To figure out which devices best fit different parts of your home, check out these area-specific Arlo recommendations.
Secure your main entry points with a multifunctional home security solution like the Arlo Video Doorbell. This front door, backdoor, and general entryway security camera features 180° Field of View, Night Vision and Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, and an Integrated Siren, all with easy DIY installation, whether you install it wired or wireless. You can even receive a video call when your doorbell is pressed, so you’ll always know exactly who’s at your door, even if you’re not there.
For the place where so much life happens, we recommend a kitchen security camera that lets you control what’s monitored. The Arlo Essential Indoor Security Camera (3rd Gen) features our Automated Privacy Shield, allowing you to close the shield with a tap on your smartphone. This camera also features Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, and 130° Field of View, so it’s got you covered when you need it.
For high-traffic areas, the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Indoor Camera is available in 2K video to capture wide family spaces and narrow hallways in crystal clear detail. You can trust its coverage day or night thanks to infrared night vision, 130° Field of View, and an integrated Siren.
Whether your basement is primarily a rec room, utility room, or multiuse space, we recommend Arlo Essential Indoor Security Camera (3rd Gen). This security camera features infrared Night Vision, making it ideal for low-light areas, and the 2-Way Audio can come in handy to touch base or check on anyone downstairs.
When it comes to the best garage security camera, our pick is the indoor/outdoor Arlo Essential XL Security Camera (3rd Gen) wireless security camera featuring extended battery life and 2K resolution with motion alerts to keep tabs on tools and vehicles. For added garage security, try Arlo All-in-One Sensors with open/close detection on all your garage entry points.
To illuminate outdoor spaces like a driveway and front or backyards, we recommend the Wired Floodlight security light and camera. With Color Night Vision, articulating lights, 2-Way Audio, an Integrated Siren, and a 160° Field of View, you’ll rest easy knowing your driveway and yard security camera is keeping your home secure.
If you want to monitor parts of your property beyond the reach of your electrical system, pair the Wireless Floodlight security light and camera with our easy-to-install Arlo Solar Panel Charger. With this duo, you can keep an eye on these hard-to-power places, rain or shine, and let the sun do the charging.
When you’re deciding how many security cameras you need in your home, now you’ll also know how to get the best protection for each unique space. To round out your home security system, we recommend the Arlo Secure Plan to extend protection with any and all of your Arlo security cameras. No matter where you are in (or out!) of your house, your home is protected with the Arlo Secure Plan. Just one tap from the Arlo app, and fire, police, or medical responders can be dispatched whenever you need them. This is one more way to secure every area of your unique home.
For indoor spaces, most people prefer smaller, less obtrusive cameras that offer privacy shields and won’t startle you with a spotlight. Night vision, 2-way audio to communicate with family members, and an integrated siren in case an intruder breaks in are all desirable features.
Choose a camera with a wide field of view to cover a larger swath of your backyard. It’s also a good idea to find a camera with good night vision (ideally Color Night Vision like Arlo’s outdoor cameras) so you are able to see details like shirt colors and logos.
Many people find video doorbells and floodlight cameras with bright lights, color night vision, and a high resolution (2K or higher) to work best for front of the houses spaces. Arlo’s cameras also allow you to set up Privacy Zones within the camera’s view in case you live on a busy street or your camera points to a neighbor’s house.
