Review is 5,5 out of 10.

Unusable as a security camera, does not store images.

Easy installation
Doesn't record well

This camera cannot be used as a security camera. Only sporadically does he record images with motion detection. 24/7 withdrawals are not possible. Arlo ("service" from India) indicates that a base station is required for recording images but does not exist for the Essential Indoor! This IP camera is only suitable as a live webcam and cannot be used to review images. Perhaps with very optimal placement it will be possible to make the motion detection usable. This will require a paid subscription in the long run! Cheap = expensive. The fact that there are cameras on the market that cannot store images 24/7 baffles me.
