Arlo: A Home Surveillance Camera That Can Run for 6 Months

Technology Trends In the fiery smart home market, home security cameras appear to be an area with little potential. Because people's demands on it are very simple: they can easily view the situation at home and inform me, and there are already many products that meet this basic requirement.


Among them, the more successful one is Dropcam. Its greatest feature is its ease of use. Users do not need to install specific software, open the device, access the computer, and then register and set up the network.

In fact, IP cameras have been in existence for more than a decade, and these direct-connected computers or Internet cameras are used extensively for surveillance and personal computer video calls. At present, the market has been filled with classified brands and various types of cottage products, and the homogenization competition is in full swing.

Did the IP camera really do its best? Maybe not yet. Recently, Netgear recently released a new wireless security camera called Arlo.

There are three characteristics of Arlo: wireless, three defenses and battery life. Its terminal camera is equipped with a battery, through the Wi-Fi connection hub, completely bid farewell to the cable.

The camera is sleek, with three functions, waterproof and shockproof. More importantly, each camera can last up to 6 months.

This is thanks to Arlo's working mechanism: It doesn't shoot at all times, and the built-in sensor allows the device to start shooting when it senses a moving object. Of course, this setting is also controversial, users can choose the shooting mode.

Arlo has matching Android, iOS, and Kindle apps, and users can move around to monitor the situation at home. In addition, Arlo does not have built-in storage space, and 720P video streams are all stored in the cloud. As with other IP camera models, Arlo offers 200MB of free cloud storage and will have to pay later.

Obviously, Arlo makes the camera experience better, sturdy, durable, and long lasting. However, these innovations may still be a homogenous means of competition. IP cameras do not work in sports like GoPro. Is the use of three defenses really big?

As mentioned above, people's requirements for home security cameras are simple and clear. Specifically, they are: respond in a timely manner, and notify my family at the first time; the video is smooth and clear, the cloud storage is convenient and affordable; it is durable and not easy to be damaged. It seems that Arlo is characterized by the last one, and long life and tenacity should also be one of the development trends of the camera.

Arlo is scheduled to be launched in January next year. The surveillance suite includes a control hub and two cameras, starting at US$349.99 (about RMB2,100).
