The Arlo Wired Floodlight Camera is the better reviewed of the two and answers with HDR, a floodlight body built to replace an existing outdoor light, and a wider alert list that includes glass-break and baby-crying sound detection, all tied to an Arlo subscription along with its cloud-only recordings. Both shoot 2K with color night vision, are rated IP65 and include a siren and two-way talk. Pick the Aqara Camera G100 for a compact camera with no running costs, or the Arlo Wired Floodlight Camera if you want real floodlighting and already subscribe to Arlo.
