Arlo Technologies has announced a June release for its Pro 3 Floodlight Camera entering the Australian market. With an integrated 2K HDR camera, 160-degree field of view, two-way audio, built-in siren and custom lighting configurations, the flexible and rather aggressive looking device will be the first ever wire-free variant of a floodlight camera and be priced at AU$449.
That’s only slightly more expensive than a stand-alone Arlo Pro 3 camera, which should bring plenty of value to anyone either wanting to start building their smart security camera system, or who already has a set-up around their home.
The fully integrated unibody design sticks close to the black and white aesthetic of Arlo’s other cameras, with the camera surrounded by a powerful LED bar to illuminate a wide area via either motion or manual activation.
Those without a system in place won’t need to worry about not having one of Arlo’s SmartHubs or a base station. The Pro 3 Floodlight Camera can just as easily be connected directly via WiFi access points as it can with most modern base stations (VMB5000, VMB4540, VMB4500, VMB4000).
Arlo is offering a complimentary three-month trial to Arlo Smart with the purchase of an Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera. That gives users access to a rolling 30-days of 2K cloud recordings to store and view video clips, as well as the ability to customise the AI experience via the Arlo app to discern between people, vehicles, animals or packages.
A major feature of this particular device is the dedicated ambient light sensor, which can automatically measure the amount of surrounding light to allow to true customisation for when the floodlight automatically turns on upon motion or audio detection. Users can adjust the sensitivity threshold via the Arlo app as well as toggle constant or pulsating light patterns.
