The Arlo Two-Pack of Outdoor Cameras Is Now Over $100 Off.
Outdoor security cameras have become commonplace, but those that combine good video quality and easy installation are still quite expensive. That’s why this deal is worth considering. A two-pack of Arlo Essential Spotlight cameras is currently $151.29 on Woot, compared to $259.99 on Amazon for the same kit. If you have Amazon Prime , you’ll get free standard shipping; otherwise, shipping is $6. Woot does not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, PO Boxes, or APO addresses. The deal is valid for one week but may end sooner if the cameras sell out.
The cameras are compact and designed for outdoor use, with an IP65 waterproof housing that can withstand rain and dust. They are powered by a rechargeable battery rated for up to six months, although the exact lifespan depends on the frequency of movement. Furthermore, the battery is non-removable, so to recharge, you’ll have to disassemble the entire camera and bring it indoors, according to a PCMag review .
The camera records video in 1080p resolution with a 130-degree field of view, allowing for a wide-angle view of driveways, yards, or entryways without the need for multiple cameras . Daytime video appears clear and detailed, and the camera features 12x digital zoom, allowing you to examine objects in the frame in greater detail. For nighttime recording, a built-in LED floodlight can turn on and illuminate the scene when motion is detected, allowing the camera to record color night video instead of the usual black-and-white. It also works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT, meaning you can view the video feed on a smart display or trigger other smart home devices when motion is detected. This camera does not support Apple HomeKit.
Motion alerts appear quickly on your phone, and the system can identify people, animals, and vehicles thanks to Arlo’s advanced detection features. However, to receive these smarter notifications and recorded videos, an Arlo Secure subscription is required. Without it, you’ll still receive live viewing and basic notifications, but saved video and some detection tools are only available with a monthly plan, starting at $7.99 per month for one camera.
