Arlo Wired Floodlight Camera offers winter security boost

Arlo Technologies has highlighted its Wired Floodlight Camera as a key offering for households seeking enhanced security during the winter months, as darker evenings increase awareness of home safety.

With the onset of longer nights throughout winter, the visibility and reassurance provided by outdoor lighting have come into sharper focus for homeowners. Arlo's Wired Floodlight Camera is positioned as a solution that automatically activates bright, wide-coverage lighting for driveways, entrances, and side paths when it detects movement.

Winter security

The device offers multiple features intended to address specific concerns that often arise as daylight hours diminish. These include ultra-bright LEDs, motion activation, 2K high dynamic range (HDR) video, a 160-degree field of view, colour night vision, two-way audio, a built-in siren, and customisable motion zones to reduce false alerts.

According to Arlo, households returning home after dark can benefit from "bright lighting, 2K video and colour night vision" capabilities, which are intended to provide users with greater awareness of their surroundings. The product's dual focus on both seeing and hearing what is happening outside the home has been enhanced through the addition of Audio AI technology.

Intelligent audio detection

The Audio AI feature, available through a 30-day trial of Arlo Secure Plus or by subscribing to the Arlo Secure Plus service, is designed to recognise and distinguish critical sounds. Arlo states that the technology can identify noises such as screams, gunshots, dog barks, breaking glass, or smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, sending instant notifications to users to ensure they are promptly informed of potentially urgent events.

Privacy and user control

Arlo states that, as part of its mission to give users peace of mind, privacy protection remains a priority. The company maintains that it adheres to industry standards for data protection, ensuring that users' information remains secure and within their control. This adherence to standards includes offering enhanced data controls and supporting relevant privacy legislation.

The company's broader product portfolio includes options such as wire-free smart Wi-Fi and LTE-enabled security cameras, video doorbells, additional floodlights, and subscription services focused on both security (Arlo Secure) and personal safety (Arlo Safe). These services and devices are delivered via a cloud-based platform, enabling real-time access and alerts from any location with Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity.
