The Arlo Smart Subscription: Unlocking Enhanced Features and Security

One of the standout features of the Arlo smart subscription is the rich notification that it provides, especially on the Arlo smart-enabled doorbell. This notification system is designed to be highly effective, alerting users to potential security threats or package deliveries in a clear and concise manner. The notification will highlight the motion detected by the camera, allowing users to immediately tap on play and view the video footage of their doorbell cam.

Upon reviewing the live footage from the Arlo smart-enabled doorbell, users can gain valuable insights into what's happening outside their home. For instance, if someone presses the button on the doorbell, the user will receive a phone call, providing an additional layer of security and allowing them to respond promptly. The integration with Apple's Phone Kit API enables the Arlo smart-enabled doorbell to be displayed as a regular call in the phone app, making it easier for users to answer and respond.

One of the most significant advantages of the Arlo smart-enabled doorbell is its ability to provide users with live video streaming. Users can access this feature directly from their phone or computer, allowing them to stay informed about any potential security threats or package deliveries in real-time. The user interface of the Arlo app allows for easy navigation and customization, including adjusting settings such as Wi-Fi networks, time zones, and LED brightness.

In addition to these features, the Arlo smart-enabled doorbell also offers advanced object detection capabilities, including the ability to detect packages and distinguish them from other objects or people. This feature is particularly useful for users who want to receive notifications only when a package is delivered, rather than when someone walks by their home. The Arlo app allows users to create activity zones, which enable more targeted alerts based on specific areas of their home.

Another valuable feature of the Arlo smart-enabled doorbell is its integration with 9-1-1 services. When a user calls for assistance using this feature, the system will automatically route the call to the user's location, ensuring that help arrives as quickly as possible in emergency situations. This feature provides an added layer of security and peace of mind for users who live alone or have concerns about their home's safety.

One potential drawback of the Arlo smart-enabled doorbell is its reliance on a wired power connection. Unlike some other smart home devices, this camera does not come with a battery backup option. However, this limitation may be mitigated by users' willingness to run cables for easy installation and setup. On the plus side, the integration with HomeKit has been an area of focus for Arlo in recent times.

For those interested in purchasing an Arlo smart-enabled doorbell, it's worth noting that there is no currently available Wireless version on battery, which might be a concern for users who prefer a more portable solution. However, it's also important to acknowledge the potential benefits of having a device that can provide enhanced security and peace of mind for users who live in urban areas or have valuable items that need to be protected.
