How to connect Arlo Essential to Amazon Alexa

Native support

The Arlo Essential is a wire-free 1080p outdoor camera with built-in spotlight, color night vision, and 90-day free cloud storage. It connects over Wi-Fi and runs on a rechargeable battery. No Arlo SmartHub is required for basic Wi-Fi connectivity.

Stream live video on Echo Show and view motion alerts in the Alexa app. Motion events can trigger Alexa routines.

The verdict

Arlo Essential works natively with Amazon Alexa. You can add it using the manufacturer app and then link it inside the Amazon Alexa app without any third-party bridges or complex workarounds.

Step-by-step instructions

Use the manufacturer app to add Arlo Essential, then link the account or device to Amazon Alexa in the Amazon Alexa app. No extra bridge needed for native compatibility.
