Arlo VMC2032 Essential XL Spotlight Wireless Security Camera 1080p, Color Night Vision, 2-Way Audio

We just finished the audit on the Arlo VMC2032 Essential XL Spotlight Wireless Security Camera and it landed a DEFICIENT (42) Winnowl Index, which is a score that unfortunately reflects more "brand" than "benefit" when you compare the high price to the average specs. This one hits the Mediocre Performance and Mediocre Value marks, but because it's from a brand with Strong Brand Strength, you have to decide if the reputation is worth the extra cost. With the Arlo VMC2032 Essential XL Spotlight Wireless Security Camera 1080p, Color Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, you'll likely notice you will likely struggle to identify a face or license plate unless the person is standing directly in front of the lens since the Resolution is only 1 MP—that's actually 77% below what we usually see from the competition. You might want to do a hard pivot from this Brand Tax product because the 29% higher price tag results in 34% less hardware for your dollar than the class average—there are definitely better ways to spend your money.
