Arlo’s latest Essential XL 2K camera gets a 25% early Prime Day price drop

Keeping an eye on your front door, driveway, or backyard is a lot easier with a wire-free camera that does not need frequent charging. The Arlo Essential XL Wireless Security Camera 2K is built for that kind of job, and there’s a solid deal on it at Amazon right now.

Amazon has the Arlo Essential XL Wireless Security Camera 2K (3rd Gen) for $59.99, down from its $79.99 recommended retail price. That’s a 25% discount off the RRP, which saves you $20. Since the current price is equal to the lowest price we’ve seen this year, this is the best deal we have seen on it in 2025.

This Arlo camera is a 2025-release wire-free outdoor model with 2K video, a 130° viewing angle, and color night vision. One of its biggest selling points is the built-in XL battery, which Arlo says delivers about 4x longer battery life than the standard Essential Security Camera (3rd Gen). That makes it a good fit for spots where you want coverage without dealing with wires or pulling the camera down too often to recharge it.

It also includes motion alerts, two-way audio, a built-in siren, and spotlight-style lighting for better nighttime visibility. The camera works over Wi-Fi and does not require a base station, though an optional SmartHub can add local storage, reduce Wi-Fi load, and may help with battery performance. You can also use basic live view, motion alerts, and two-way audio without a subscription, while optional Arlo plans add cloud video history and smarter detection features.

If longer battery life is high on your list, this deal makes the Arlo Essential XL worth a look.
