Arlo Essential Indoor Camera With Automated Privacy Shield for Added Peace of Mind Now Available

• Award-Winning Solution Gives Users the Power to Decide When Their Camera Is Monitoring a Room and Recording

Arlo Technologies, Inc., a leading smart home security brand, announced its all-new Essential Indoor Camera is now available for those who want superior video surveillance and security. Featuring an easy-to-control, automated privacy shield, the camera allows users to automatically activate the privacy shield that covers the camera lens, extending Arlo’s commitment to user privacy by delivering unparalleled peace of mind. The versatile Essential Indoor Camera enables users to monitor babies, pets, elderly family members, restaurants, stock rooms and more, with 1080p HD video, a 130-degree diagonal field-of-view, motion and audio detection and full-duplex audio for two-way conversations. The Essential Indoor Camera is available now for pre-order through Arlo.com, BestBuy.com, Amazon.com and other retailers, at an MSRP of $99.99.

The Arlo Essential Indoor Camera’s unique automated privacy shield is a reassuring feature designed to ease privacy concerns around having a security camera indoors. When the privacy shield is in the disarm mode, recording, motion and audio detection is disabled and won’t be enabled until the shield is opened by the user via the Arlo app. Users can also signal the privacy shield to open automatically and begin recording by starting a live stream or changing the camera to arm mode. This gives users the power to decide when their camera is monitoring a room and recording video/audio, and when it is not.

“Arlo holds user privacy in the highest regard and the all-new Essential Indoor Camera further supports that commitment,” said Tejas Shah, SVP of Product and CIO at Arlo. “Unlike competitive indoor monitoring solutions, we designed the Essential Indoor Camera with a clearly visible privacy shield, easily differentiating it from the camera face so users can distinguish at a glance when the privacy mode is activated. This thoughtful design element provides added peace of mind, so users can quickly identify whether or not the camera is capable of recording.”

From a video-quality standpoint, Arlo engineered the new Essential Indoor Camera with image-based motion and sound detection sensors to seamlessly trigger recording when the camera is armed. High definition, 1080p video quality with enhanced night vision allows users to capture important details day or night. The camera features a built-in microphone and speaker, complete with advanced, full-duplex audio for clearer, more natural remote conversations. A built-in siren provides an added safety measure, which can be triggered automatically or manually from the Arlo app, upon motion or audio detection – allowing users to swiftly and effectively deter an intruder.

The Arlo Essential Indoor Camera – recognized as a 2021 CES Innovation Award Honoree and recipient of a 2021 TWICE Picks Award – offers a sleek, premium, unibody design for seamless incorporation anywhere inside a home or business. Available in white and black, the indoor camera features a versatile, integrated swivel mount that enables users to angle and mount the device on walls or place on any surface to capture the desired vantage point.
