“Alexa, Show me the Front Door” – NETGEAR Arlo Security Cameras Now Supports Alexa Skills for Amazon’s Echo Show
June 22 2017 - 9:00AM
NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), the leading provider of networking
devices that power today's smart home, is introducing voice
commands for its market-leading Arlo® Family of Smart Security
Cameras through the Amazon® Alexa™ voice service.
The Amazon Alexa voice service has become a
popular command center for today's smart home. And now, using the
Arlo Skill for Alexa, you can ask Alexa to view the live feed or
recorded video from an Arlo camera on the screen of the new Amazon
Echo Show™. With a simple voice command you can now ask Alexa to
show, the front door, back yard, the driveway, and anywhere else an
Arlo camera has been placed. With the Alexa skills you will no
longer need to navigate the Arlo app or have your mobile device in
hand each time you wish to view an Arlo camera.
With brilliant HD video quality, two-way audio,
live streaming, 7 days of free cloud recordings, instant alerts,
and other smart features, Arlo Smart HD cameras enable you to watch
over what you love from every angle, indoors and out, day and
night. To take advantage of the new voice command viewing feature,
you need a supported and connected Arlo camera and an Echo
Show.
Arlo devices that currently support the Arlo
Skill include:
- Arlo Wire-Free (Model VMC3030, VMS3x30)
- Arlo Q (Model VMC3040)
- Arlo Pro (Model VMC4030, VMS4x30)
- Arlo Go (Model VML4030)
- Arlo Baby (Model ABC1000)
"Alexa makes a natural companion to Arlo, and
vice-versa," said Pat Collins, senior vice president of Arlo
products at NETGEAR. "NETGEAR has always emphasized the ease-of-use
in our products, and the support of Alexa voice commands through
the Arlo Skill makes it easier than ever to view your Arlo security
video recordings. We're excited that our customers will be able to
call up their video recordings anytime, hands-free, to display on
the Amazon Echo Show screen. It's bringing us one step closer to
the Jetsons-style home."
Sample commands in the Arlo Skill set
include:
- "Alexa, show me the front door."
- "Alexa, show me the baby room."
- "Alexa, hide the baby room."
- "Alexa, go home."
NETGEAR products are available in major retail
stores and online. For information about Amazon Alexa integration
with other NETGEAR products including Nighthawk® routers and the
