360° Outdoor Coverage. 2K Clarity. Always Powered On.

The Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Security Camera (VMC2083-1WMNAS) is a wired outdoor camera engineered for homeowners who need wide-area surveillance without blind spots. With 360° pan and 180° tilt, one camera can cover your entire yard, driveway, or patio — and follow movement automatically.

2K HDR Video – See Every Detail, Day or Night

Record in crisp 2K (2304×1296) with HDR for rich, true-to-life footage even in high-contrast lighting. Up to 12x digital zoom lets you zero in on faces, license plates, and clothing details. After dark, infrared night vision extends visibility up to 25 feet.

Auto Motion Tracking – Never Lose Sight of What Matters

When motion is detected, the camera automatically follows the subject across its full pan/tilt range — keeping people, vehicles, and activity in frame without manual adjustment. Smart alerts for person, vehicle, and animal detection are available with an Arlo Secure subscription.

Wired Power – Always On, Zero Interruptions

Plug-in power means this camera runs continuously without battery swaps or recharging downtime. Ideal for permanent outdoor installations where 24/7 coverage is non-negotiable.

Built-In Siren & Two-Way Audio

Deter intruders with the remotely triggered built-in siren. Communicate with visitors or delivery personnel using two-way audio with noise cancellation — directly from the Arlo app.

Dual-Band Wi-Fi & Broad Smart Home Compatibility

Connects to 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi for a stable, interference-free stream. Works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit (via Arlo SmartHub), and IFTTT — no hub required for basic setup.

Flexible Storage & Advanced Security

Optional Arlo Secure subscription unlocks cloud storage, smart detection history, activity zones, and continuous recording. Local storage is also supported via a compatible Arlo SmartHub or Base Station (sold separately). All footage is protected with AES-128 encryption and two-factor authentication.
