Update

Users demanded improvements in the security and privacy department from the Arlo application as they felt that the app lacked in these areas. They were also dissatisfied with the minor bugs and glitches and felt that this ruined the user experience.

Arlo Technologies introduced the Arlo App 3.6.1, which dealt with all the issues mentioned above and improved the servers of the app to host more users without crashing or offering glitches. The new update also brought the Privacy Centre feature, which allows users to manage their cameras and data all through the convenience of their couches.

As a pioneer in home surveillance cameras, Arlo has pioneered several innovations, including a Cellular data-enabled camera. The company is well-known for its wireless cameras, which are connected to a base station, and have a long-range and battery life. While Arlo has recently produced a variety of sensors that do not need the Smart hub, they are cheaper than the hub-dependent models.

Brief

Arlo Technologies was founded in 2018 by Netgear, a San Francisco firm that makes internet adapters and routers. Since its launch in 2014, the Arlo Surveillance Camera has been a popular product. Arlo’s Arlo Smart Hub sets it apart from other security camera manufacturers in that it focuses on excellent wireless communication.

To use all of Arlo’s cameras, you’ll need a Smart Hub network device, although not all of them do. However, several reviewers have noted that now the Smart Hub extends the reach and standby time of cameras linked to the hub. With Arlo’s cameras, you don’t need to depend solely on the cloud to access your video data.

Finally, only Arlo is compatible with Apple’s HomeKit, making it the only firm in our ranking to do so. In addition, it is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa smart home devices. Using Arlo’s mobile app, you may dial 911 and be connected to emergency services in your neighborhood instead of where you are physically located.
