Arlo, a manufacturer of some of the best video bells we have tested, has just launched five new security cameras that can use AI to recognize visitors, detect packages and even warn you of house fires by identifying the flames.
The Essential 3 Camera series includes two interior cameras and three outdoor cams resistant, with wired and wireless versions. All are available in pre-order now, for shipping on October 1.
The tilting zoom with 3 outdoor panoramic is a cable camera with a 130 degree field of vision, and it can break and bow to follow the subjects without blind spot. Prices start at £ 129.99 for a single 2K resolution camera. The Pan Indoor Arlo Essential 3 inclination zoom has very similar characteristics and “look away” once disarmed to protect your intimacy. It costs £ 89.99 for a camera, or £ 129.99 for two.
There is also the wireless Arlo Essential 3 exterior with mermaid and projector, which begins at £ 99.99, and the Arlo Essential 3 Outdoor XL with a lifespan of the prolonged battery, from £ 169.99 for a pack of two. Finally, there is the interior Essential 3 Wired 3, with a physical confidentiality shield that begins when the camera is disarmed. It costs £ 79.99 for an £ 99.99 for a twin pack.
All are compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Homekit, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT, but it doesn’t matter when writing.
Subscription plans
This initial cost is low enough for a home security camera, but keep in mind that you will also need an Arlo Secure subscription to unlock AI features.
In the United Kingdom, there are three subscription levels: Secure Single Cam, Secure Multi Cam and Early Warning System. The three will store your videos in the cloud, detect people, animals, vehicles and packages, and provide a replacement cam if yours is stolen, but only the upper level will identify specific people and cars and alert fire to you. The early alert system of Arlo Secure costs £ 16.99 per month or £ 169.90 per year,
If you are looking for a safety cam at no additional cost, take a look at my guide for the best home safety cameras without subscription. None of these elements offers the same package of features fueled by AI as the new Arlo cams, but all can store your video clips locally and have no key functionality hidden behind a paid wall.
