Award-winning solution gives users the power to decide when
their camera is monitoring a room and recording
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Arlo
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ARLO), a leading smart home security
brand, today announced its all-new Essential Indoor Camera is now
available for those who want superior video surveillance and
security. Featuring an easy-to-control, automated privacy shield,
the camera allows users to automatically activate the privacy
shield that covers the camera lens, extending Arlo's commitment to
user privacy by delivering unparalleled peace of mind. The
versatile Essential Indoor Camera enables users to monitor babies,
pets, elderly family members, restaurants, stock rooms and more,
with 1080p HD video, a 130-degree diagonal field-of-view, motion
and audio detection and full-duplex audio for two-way
conversations. The Essential Indoor Camera is available now for
pre-order through Arlo.com, BestBuy.com, Amazon.com and other
retailers, at an MSRP of $99.99.
The Arlo Essential Indoor Camera's unique automated privacy
shield is a reassuring feature designed to ease privacy concerns
around having a security camera indoors. When the privacy shield is
in the disarm mode, recording, motion and audio detection is
disabled and won't be enabled until the shield is opened by the
user via the Arlo app. Users can also signal the privacy shield to
open automatically and begin recording by starting a live stream or
changing the camera to arm mode. This gives users the power to
decide when their camera is monitoring a room and recording
video/audio, and when it is not.
"Arlo holds user privacy in the highest regard and the all-new
Essential Indoor Camera further supports that commitment," said
Tejas Shah, SVP of Product and CIO
at Arlo. "Unlike competitive indoor monitoring solutions, we
designed the Essential Indoor Camera with a clearly visible privacy
shield, easily differentiating it from the camera face so users can
distinguish at a glance when the privacy mode is activated. This
thoughtful design element provides added peace of mind, so users
can quickly identify whether or not the camera is capable of
recording."
From a video-quality standpoint, Arlo engineered the new
Essential Indoor Camera with image-based motion and sound detection
sensors to seamlessly trigger recording when the camera is armed.
High definition, 1080p video quality with enhanced night vision
allows users to capture important details day or night. The camera
features a built-in microphone and speaker, complete with advanced,
full-duplex audio for clearer, more natural remote conversations. A
built-in siren provides an added safety measure, which can be
triggered automatically or manually from the Arlo app, upon motion
or audio detection – allowing users to swiftly and effectively
deter an intruder.
The Arlo Essential Indoor Camera – recognized as a 2021 CES
Innovation Award Honoree and recipient of a 2021 TWICE Picks Award
– offers a sleek, premium, unibody design for seamless
incorporation anywhere inside a home or business. Available in
white and black, the indoor camera features a versatile, integrated
swivel mount that enables users to angle and mount the device on
walls or place on any surface to capture the desired vantage
point.
Arlo's AI and CV service, Arlo
Smart, compliments the hardware to deliver total
protection. Users receive a complimentary three-month
Arlo Smart trial included with their
Essential Indoor Camera purchase. Arlo
Smart provides extended 30-day rolling cloud storage of
1080p HD video recordings for added peace of mind. Smarter,
customizable notifications enable users to detect people and
animals inside the home1. And when help is needed,
Arlo Smart's e911 feature allows
users react faster by connecting to emergency services local to the
camera's location instead of waiting to be rerouted from the
location linked to their smartphone – saving precious moments in
emergency situations2. Controlled entirely through the
Arlo app, users can easily view live streams and recordings, adjust
their camera settings or access cloud recordings.
