Built by Kartchner Homes
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Arlo Technologies,
Inc. (NYSE: ARLO), a leading internet connected security camera
brand, and Kartchner Homes, a premier home builder in
Utah and Idaho, today announced a strategic partnership
to integrate award-winning Arlo's Video Doorbell into homes built
over the next 12 months providing homebuyers a premiere solution in
smart entry technology.
Kartchner Homes has selected the Arlo Video Doorbell for its
class-leading performance and features. Recently recognized by CNET
as the "Best Video Doorbell of 2020"1, the Arlo Video
Doorbell is a smart front entry monitoring solution that offers an
industry-leading vertical field-of-view, high-definition video
resolution, clear two-way audio, and a sophisticated design to
complement any home style or design.
"Home building is a key vertical market for Arlo as we continue
to expand beyond our retail and e-commerce channels. More than
ever, home builders are looking to integrate smart home
technologies as an added value and differentiation within the
market," said Tom Babula, SVP
worldwide sales at Arlo. "This strategic partnership with Kartchner
Homes will provide homeowners with the industry's most intuitive
front entry monitoring solutions. With Arlo Video Doorbell being
compatible with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice
assistant ecosystems, new Kartchner Homes' homeowners will be able
to easily integrate Arlo Video Doorbell with the connected home
ecosystem of their choice."
"Kartchner Homes seeks to offer convenience and value to our
customers, so when selecting smart features for our homes, the Arlo
Video Doorbell was an obvious choice," said Evan DeLong, Kartchner Homes Smart Home
Specialist. "With one of the most competitive price points, Arlo
has packed their video doorbell with all the same features as their
pricier competitors, plus some. We love its notification features
and slim form. We are excited to introduce this amenity to all of
our customers moving forward."
The future residents of Kartchner Homes with built-in Arlo Video
Doorbells will enjoy smart notifications to detect front entry
activity, along with two-way audio allowing them to speak with
visitors without having to answer the door. By capturing footage in
HD resolution and a square aspect ratio, the Arlo Video Doorbell
allows users to fully view packages on the ground, or visitors from
head to toe – ensuring no detail goes unnoticed. The Arlo Video
Doorbell also makes answering the door as easy as answering the
phone. While competitors utilize a multi-step notification and
response process, the Arlo Video Doorbell delivers direct-to-mobile
video calls for quick and easy reply, resulting in a streamlined
process for real- time communication with guests. See below for
additional Arlo Video Doorbell features:
- Optimized front entry view – industry-leading
vertical field-of-view with an optimized 1:1 aspect ratio allows
for a complete view of the front door
