Meet the Arlo Pro 4.
It's pretty, effective, and, well,
pretty effective as far as wireless cameras go.
Join us as we take a quick look at the Arlo Pro 4,
its basic specs, features,
and whether or not it's a camera worth investing in.
We're only tapping the surface
of all of this camera's features.
So if you want to know more,
check out our full review on SafeWise.
There, you'll find more on the Arlo's video quality,
recording options, the Arlo app,
its smart home compatibility,
setup, installation, and more.
We've linked to that review in the description below
to make it easy for you to check it out.
Let's dive in.

For around $200,
Arlo Pro 4 delivers a lot right out of the box.
Plus, it's easy to set up and install.
And because it's battery-powered,
you can put it almost anywhere, indoors or out.
This is the 2K HDR video in action.
In the studio and at home, it didn't disappoint.
Night or day, this Arlo camera delivers a crisp picture.
You can also switch between 2K, 1080p, and 720p,
to save your battery life.
Now, for a $200 camera,
the two-way audio sounded more like a walkie-talkie.
This is what the Arlo Pro 4 sounds like.
We were able to understand what was being said,
but there's definitely room here for some improvement.
The Arlo Pro 4 has a super impressive,
160-degree field of view.
It's one of the widest that we've seen
in any wireless camera,
so it can fit your neighborhood cul-de-sac
or a large room in the entire frame all at once.
A couple features we really liked
were the built-in spotlight and siren.
Paired with the 2K video quality,
this makes the Arlo Pro 4
an excellent choice for outdoor cameras
to catch wildlife digging through your bins,
nighttime lurkers,
or any other creepy crawlers that decided to come by.
And if you do catch something in action,
you can sound the siren,
which is super loud and easy to activate,
but thankfully not too easy.

Finally, there's motion detection and activity zones.
You can learn about those in detail
from our review on SafeWise.
And you can set up multiple zones in one camera frame,
which is a pretty cool feature.
The articulated areas allow you to work
with odd-shaped spots that you want to keep an eye on.
All of the stuff we covered comes with Arlo Pro 4,
right out of the box.
And while all of that is pretty awesome,
we did miss out on a bunch of features
without the Arlo Secure subscription.
Arlo's subscription service comes in two flavors:
Arlo Secure and Arlo Secure Plus.
The first tier starts at $3 a month for a single camera
or $10 a month for unlimited cameras.
It also includes unlimited cloud storage for 30 days,
interactive alerts, and priority customer support.
While Arlo Secure Plus is gonna bump your price
up to $15 a month for unlimited cameras,
it also sweetens the deal with 24/7 emergency response,
4K cloud storage, interactive alerts, and priority support.
You can get the full scoop on a subscription plan
in our review on SafeWise.
The Arlo Pro 4 in its full glory isn't cheap,
but starting at $200 up front,
you do get some awesome features like crisp 2K video,
a long battery life,
and a versatile camera
that can work both indoors and outdoors.
But, again, to get the full Arlo experience,
you'll have to spend a little extra,
after that initial purchase.
Now, if you're willing to spend a little more
for a home security investment,
the Arlo Pro 4 is certainly worth considering.
Even without the subscription,
it's still a little bit pricey.
But you're going to get bang for your buck
with features like downloadable video clips
and animated alerts.
Thankfully,
our expert staff writer had a chance to spend time
with every feature that Arlo offers.
And you can get all of those deets on,
you guessed it, the full review on SafeWise.
