The new hardware, priced at $99.99, is built for DIY installation and features a slim profile designed to simplify mounting in areas with optimal sun exposure. According to Arlo CEO Matthew McRae, the integration of solar technology and a long-lasting battery addresses the primary consumer pain point of wire management and the recurring maintenance of traditional battery-operated units. The camera can function for up to six months on a single full charge without any light exposure, while requiring only two hours of daily sun to remain effectively powered.
Beyond its power capabilities, the device records in 2K resolution with a 130-degree field of view and utilizes dual-band Wi-Fi for stable connectivity. It is rated IP65 for weather resistance, allowing it to withstand environmental factors like snow and rain. When integrated with the Arlo Secure Early Warning System, the camera employs AI-driven threat assessment to provide users with context regarding detected activity, distinguishing between routine movement and potential security events. The units are available for pre-order now, with shipping scheduled to begin in mid-October.
