Arlo launches latest Pro 4 camera – direct to WiFi option

Arlo has expanded their range of home security solutions further with the addition of the latest Arlo Pro 4 camera to the lineup.

Packing the features and quality of the Pro 3, this latest iteration follows the trend towards making Arlo cameras direct to WiFi or SmartHub connected.

The Arlo Pro 4 features 2K HDR video, across a 160 degree field of view, as well as the spotlight to produce a colour night-vision enhancing your ability to identify people or objects.

Brad Little from Arlo says “Our industry-leading products are designed to deliver peace of mind without compromise. The new Pro 4 features improved connectivity allowing for direct to Wi-Fi installation without the need of a Base Station or SmartHub while existing Arlo users still have the opportunity to add the new cameras to their current system.”

“With Pro 4 we want to offer consumers the option to choose the installation method most suitable for their needs. Couple this feature with customised Arlo Smart notifications via the Arlo app and we enable users to confidently monitor and manage their security”

By adding on an Arlo Smart subscirption, users can receive cloud storage and smart notifications of people, vehicles animals or even packages.

A three month subscription to Arlo Smart is included in the Pro 4 purchase price.
