The Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Security Camera (model VMC3083‑100NAS) is a robust plug‑in camera designed to cover wide areas of your home or property with smooth 360° pan and 180° tilt movement. With 2K resolution video (2304 × 1296 pixels) it captures detail beyond standard 1080p, offering clear and sharp footage of people, vehicles or pets. The wired power setup ensures continuous operation without the need to recharge batteries, making it a reliable choice for main entryways, yards or rooms that need always‑on monitoring.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the camera connects directly to your dual‑band Wi‑Fi network (2.4GHz and 5GHz) to maintain a strong stream and reduce drop‑outs. It supports smart features via the Arlo Secure ecosystem, such as motion tracking, dog/pet/vehicle/person alerts, and advanced audio detection. When motion is detected, the camera will pan and tilt to follow the subject, and you can view live footage or recorded events on the Arlo app from anywhere.

In low‑light or nighttime conditions, the Arlo Essential Pan Tilt delivers reliable night vision and, depending on variant, may include a built‑in spotlight to provide color night footage and better clarity of details like faces or license plates. Two‑way audio enables communication through the camera—great for checking in on pets, talking to visitors, or warning off unwanted guests. The wired design helps eliminate concerns about battery life or downtime.

Overall, the model VMC3083‑100NAS from Arlo offers a flexible, feature‑rich security camera solution that combines wide‑area coverage with high resolution, smart alerts, and continuous power. It balances advanced surveillance capability with ease of setup and everyday reliability, making it a very capable option for both upgrading an existing security setup or starting a new one.
