Hi, folks. This is Gabe at Security Baron, and Arlo isback at again bringing you some 2K action. Today, we’re checking out the Arlo Pro 3. [background music] Gabe: In today’s review of the Arlo Pro 3,we’re going to go over some pros and cons, its design, its feature set, the installation,and mobile app experience before answering some common questions and letting you knowwho we think this device is for. If you want to see the full details on theArlo Pro 3 and check out some smart home integrations, head over to securitybaron.com. Let’s kick off our review of the Arlo Pro3 going over some pros and cons, beginning with the pros, beginning with that video quality. It can record it up to 2K but even the 1080looks solid on whatever device you happen to be using.best home outdoor wireless security camera 

That 2K is gorgeous, really clear and youalso get 160-degree field of view HDR. It’s just really bring in the heat. Now that extends to its night vision whereit ups the ante with having a surprisingly solid vision with just two infrared LEDs. If you add on that spotlight it gets evenbetter where you have this color night vision that makes it seem almost as if the middleof the night is as clear as day. We’re really impressed with the video qualityelement in that way. Beyond that, you have the wireless elementof the Arlo Pro 3 and the durability. That means you can place it both indoors andoutdoors. It’s weather resistant and you can handlesun, snow, sleet, rain, you name it and still work really well to make sure you’re capturingeverything that’s taking place in your home or outside of it. When it comes to cons to Arlo Pro 3, I thinkthe issue of 2K is really representative of the overall experience. We had issues getting the 2K to work initiallyand we never essentially got the 2K to work when it comes to manual recording. That was an issue that to do with the faultyhub and a mobile application that is not always the most intuitive. Overall, yes, I think that Arlo has a lotof depth, a lot of robust features that you can really dive deeply into, but it’s justnot effortless in terms of getting to them like we’ve seen with some of the other camerason the market. [music] Gabe: Now that we’ve gone over the pros andcons, let’s talk about the design on the Arlo Pro 3 in which I’m actually a really big fan. The Arlo Pro 3 is the first one that we’vegotten in the nice black, but it isn’t really glossy black. You’re definitely going to get your fingerprintson it, but just a really solid looking device, really sleek, really elegant. When it comes to mounting, it has a lot ofoptions. You can, of course, thread as in mount intothe back of the device itself, but we like this nice little magnetic mount that givesyou a lot of flexibility. You can put it in a lot of different ways,it’s just going to work for you. It’s really strong and if you don’t want tohave that on for a moment, you can take it off, you can place it simply down, somethinglike this. You’re wondering, “How do I charge this device?” Really easy to put that initial battery in,but actually once you have your battery inside and have this thing set up, you can closethis and really never open it again, because there is a magnetic mount on the bottom ofthe device. You’re thinking, “I hope I don’t have to unscreweverything each time that I want to charge it.” You don’t. Take it off the magnet, take your magneticcharger, and voila, you’re ready to go. That’s it, you charge it, give it a few hours,and you’re good for another few months. Note that you also have the Smart Hub. The Smart Hub itself has gotten a bit of anupgrade since the Arlo Pro 2. It’s also nice and sleek, it’s thinner, ithas a good look to it. It will basically blend into anyone’s homedecor, it’s in that nice white with your Arlo insignia, and you get this nice little LEDlight to know when it’s on and off. The final element I’ll talk about with yourArlo Pro 3 itself is the fact that it’s almost completely flush. You have your lens, you’ve got microphone,speaker, and you have your spotlight. This is a pretty thin spotlight that’s bringinga lot of light. It’s going to be really bright with just thislittle bit here. Overall, big fan of not only the design onthe Arlo Pro 3, but the Arlo Smart Hub. [music] Gabe: Hold on. I hope you’re enjoying today’s review of theArlo Pro 3.

We’re dropping new content weekly. Let’s get back to the video. [music] Gabe: Now that we’ve gone over the pros andcons and the design of the Arlo Pro 3, let’s talk about its feature set, beginning withthat video quality. It can capture motion events in 2K and itjust looks amazing. It’s capturing things in 2K with a 160-degreefield of view, HDR, and it’s just got a really lovely crisp and clear video quality to it. It even means that it can do that in nightvision, where we have a solid infrared LED perspective that can be enhanced by colornight vision with the spotlight that comes equipped on your Arlo Pro 3, allowing youto see things in the middle of the night in that nice vivid color perspective. This clarity with the Arlo Pro 3 extends tothe audio experience.best home outdoor wireless security camera 

I was able to have really clear conversationswith people on the other side. It has a microphone and a speaker embeddedinside of it. In terms of the conversation capacity or capability,it’s really high with the Arlo Pro 3. Automated Voice: I can hear you. Sounds good. Sounds good. Gabe: When it comes to saving these audio/videoclips, you have a few different options with your Arlo Pro 3, including local storage withyour Arlo Smart Hub. You can install a SD card, up to 128 GB, whichwill allow for you to save those directly to your Smart Hub itself. Additionally, you can get the cloud storagewith your Arlo Pro 3 in an Arlo Smart Plan. Fortunately, you do get three months of theArlo Smart Plan for free whenever you buy your Arlo Pro 3. One thing to note about the Arlo Pro 3 andArlo Smart Plan is that it’s going to give you 30 days’ video history, basically anysmart plan. The real key here is you get a number of advancedfeatures as well. There are multiple offerings that can geta bit complicated. For full details, go check it out at securitybaron.com. Let’s talk about some of those advanced features,like activity zones. In addition to motion sensitivity that canbe adjusted within the app, you can also set up activity zones that will only give youa motion alert when it detects motion in those particular spaces that you’re looking for. I can build my own in the app, multiple, multipleactivity zones. What types of motion can it distinguish between? This is where that artificial intelligencecomes into play. The Arlo Pro 3 is capable of distinguishingbetween people and animals and vehicles. It even has some degree of package detection,which is pretty impressive. The Arlo Pro 3 also integrates with the twomajor smart platforms out there — Amazon and Google. I can use my voice and the linking of my Arloand Google and Amazon Virtual Assistant to watch my footage wherever I want. I can send a live stream to something likemy Google Chromecast just using my voice. Overall, the Arlo Pro 3 is really great, anice, robust and deep feature set to the home security camera game. [music] Gabe: Now that we’ve covered the feature setwith the Arlo Pro 3, let’s talk about the installation process. Here, I’ve got somewhat mixed feelings. When it comes to installing the device,
