Arlo Ultra delivers peace of mind with advanced video and audio quality that sets the bar for a simplistic and new standard in DIY security. The all-new camera system offers a complete solution for users who desire the best possible protection for their home or business, as well as the most ideal experience for connecting remotely with loved ones.

What was traditionally a two-piece camera design, Arlo blended together to create a single, seamless module. Arlo Ultra is a wire-free camera to record and stream 4K high dynamic range (HDR) video quality. Designed for a hassle-free installation, the wire-free Arlo Ultra can be placed anywhere to easily monitor a home or business with an ultra-wide 180-degree diagonal field-of-view. With advanced night vision, Arlo Ultra also allows users to see color video even in the dark and an integrated spotlight lights up the night. The Arlo Ultra also offers advanced noise-cancelling to minimize background noise for two-way conversations.

Arlo Ultra is capable of capturing and outputting 4K video quality from the lens to the user. This advanced feature provides detail and clarity to videos, also allows users to zoom in on their video clips to uncover critical information, such as license plates, clothing, or other telling details. With an expansive panoramic 180-degree diagonal field of view, Arlo Ultra delivers one of the widest viewing angles in the wire-free security camera industry, providing users more flexibility when placing their camera for property, home or business monitoring. 

Featuring a magnetic mount, Arlo Ultra enables easy mounting to ceilings, walls, eaves, or positioning on tables or counter surfaces. Within its compact design and weather-resistant finish, Arlo Ultra is powered by an easy to swap out rechargeable battery that ensures flexibility across indoor and outdoor use. Featuring an eject button strategically placed below the camera but hidden from view, users can easily access the battery for replacement and charging. Users eject the front module camera from its housing access the battery. For those looking to charge in place or use a solar panel, a magnetic charging cable is also included.

Arlo Ultra features a built-in siren that can be automatically triggered by motion, audio detection, or manually activated remotely from the free Arlo App for added protection. Designed with dual-microphones, Arlo Ultra delivers clear two-way audio with advanced noise cancellation that minimizes background noises, such as wind, and accentuates foreground audio, such as voices. Features such as Auto Zoom and Tracking also enable the camera to automatically zoom in and follow moving objects. Ultra users can also create Custom Activity Zones by highlighting a specific area that they want to be notified for to reduce unwanted notifications, like a tree swaying in the wind. Additionally, Arlo Ultra is powered by an advanced SmartHub which provides extended battery life for energy efficiency and superior long-range wireless coverage, enabling communication with other Arlo devices. It also features Arlo RF to be used with future products.
