So I Purchased the arlo essential and am not impressed with the zoom at all, gets blurry right away. Is there another option with clearer zoom whith in the arlo brand, or is there a better product elsewhere

The Essential is a 1080p camera. The Pro 3, 4, and 5s are 2K, and the Ultras are 4K.

But how clear is the image when zoomed out all the way. I want crystal clear.

It's digital zoom, not optical, so at some point there will be some blur. There is also some motion blur.

That said, the Ultra looks sharp to me when zoomed all the way out with good light. Much more detail than the 1080p cameras.
