Arlo Essential XL Spotlight – Wireless Security Camera with a year-long battery life

Arlo’s range of wire-free Security cameras has been expanded with the new Arlo Essential XL Spotlight Camera which offers the benefits of the Essential Series devices, with a larger battery for potentially year-long battery life.

Featuring 1080p HD Video, along with the ability to chat via your phone through the phone to anyone in front of the camera using two-way audio.

All of that, without any wires, just a battery in the device, connected directly to your WiFi network, with no Arlo base-station required.

At just $279 the Arlo Essential XL Spotlight Camera becomes one of the most affordable and simple ways to add a camera to the front, back or inside of your home with simple instructions right out of the box – no professional installation required.
