Promising to deliver “an enhanced user experience with improved range”, we’re told the Arlo Ultra 2 builds on “advanced features such as 4K video with HDR, an ultra-wide, 180-degree field of view, and more”.

You can also use Arlo Smart’s “smarter, customisable notifications to detect people, vehicles, animals or packages”. It’s controlled entirely through the Arlo app, so you can “easily view live streams and recordings, adjust their camera settings or access cloud recordings”.
