SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 15, 2020 /CNW/ -- Arlo Technologies,
Inc. (NYSE: ARLO), one of the leading internet-connected
camera brands, today announced the all-new Arlo Essential
Wire-Free Video Doorbell which brings the award-winning features of
its popular Wired Video Doorbell to an easy-to-install, wire-free,
battery-powered design. Arlo's latest front-entry solution – which
joins a robust ecosystem of home security products and services –
captures what conventional video doorbells can't. An
industry-leading, 180-degree viewing angle with a square, 1:1
aspect ratio ensures users can see packages on the ground or
visitors from head-to-toe on their mobile devices. HD video
resolution combined with direct-to-mobile video calls, clear,
two-way audio and personalized alerts, allow users to quickly reply
to guests or take action. Able to connect directly to WiFi, the
latest solution can be powered by its rechargeable
battery1 or be hardwired for continuous
charging2. With an MSRP of $199.99, the Arlo Essential Wire-Free Video
Doorbell is now available for pre-order at select retailers
including Best Buy and will be rolling out nationwide to major
retailers and Arlo.com this holiday season.
"In today's world, having a smart video doorbell at your front
door is more valuable than ever," said Tejas Shah, SVP of Product and CIO at Arlo.
"Unlike other video doorbells that can lag in response time, our
new Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell leverages the latest
hardware and software advancements for swift, comprehensive
monitoring. Industry-leading picture and audio quality combined
with our AI-based subscription service, Arlo Smart, enable complete front door
protection. Users can receive smart notifications and secure,
simple access via the Arlo App, allowing them to quickly and easily
live stream, respond to guests and even get emergency help."
Direct-to-mobile video calls, clear, two-way audio and
pre-recorded quick-reply messages all enable convenient,
in-the-moment communication with visitors. Traditionally, video
doorbells require users to take multiple steps to view and respond
to guests once receiving a notification, causing delays where a
user could easily miss their visitor. The Arlo Essential Wire-Free
Video Doorbell solves this problem by sending a live, HD video call
right to the user's smartphone once the doorbell is pressed,
enabling them to quickly take action by deploying a response.
Features of the all-new Arlo Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell
include:
- 180° Viewing Angle: Optimized for the front door with a
1:1 aspect ratio so you can see a person from head to toe or a
package on the ground

Chime – which will connect directly to WiFi for simple setup
– will enable instant chime alerts when a guest presses the
Arlo Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell. Users will be able to
select from a variety of tones and melodies that can be
