Rank 12 out of 22Stiftung WarentestÜberwachungskameras im TestReleaseNovember 2025

Whether burglary protection for the home, monitoring pets or as a baby cam - surveillance cameras promise security and control around the clock. But which devices deliver sharp images, work reliably and are also affordable in the long term? Stiftung Warentest tested 22 surveillance cameras with prices ranging from 40 to 300 euros - 15 for outdoors and 7 for indoors.

This test report belongs to a different type: Essential 2 2K Outdoor Camera 2-pack (2560 x 1440 Pixels)

PCgo + PC MagazinSingle testReleaseJune 2024

Overall, the two-pack on sale is suitable for setting up or expanding a larger Arlo surveillance system. Because if you don't need two cameras outdoors, the second device from this set can, as already mentioned, be used indoors without any problems.
