To determine whether the Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera is a first or second generation model, you can check the following features:
## Video resolution - The first generation of Arlo Essential cameras has a maximum video resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels). - The second generation of Arlo Essential cameras can resolve up to 2K (2560 x 1440 pixels).
## Night vision - The first generation often has standard black and white night vision or colour night vision, depending on the model. - The second generation is equipped with colour night vision and dual 850nm LED infrared LEDs.
## Battery life - The first generation of Arlo Essential cameras has a battery life of approximately 6 months. - The second generation, especially the XL model, can offer up to 16 months of battery life.
## Other features - The second generation often has additional functions such as integrated spotlights, PIR motion detection and RGB status lights.
If your camera has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and does not have any of the advanced second generation functions such as 2K resolution or an integrated spotlight, it is probably a first generation model.
