Netgear has introduced the next generation of their popular Arlo Pro camera: the Arlo Pro 2 Wire-Free Security Camera. The camera includes all the features the original Arlo Pro had, but now has expanded its features to meet customer needs.

Arlo Pro 2 will include higher quality 1080p HD video, a plug-in option with solar power and support for Amazon Alexa for live monitoring of your cameras from the Echo Show and TVs connected with Fire TV.

The camera is weather-resistant, allowing you to place it anywhere you'd like the for greatest view of your monitored property. The Arlo Solar Panel (sold separately) gives you the ability to recharge the batteries with just a few days of sunlight allowing for continuous recording.

“With 1080p HD video, combined with our patented wire-free design, Arlo Pro 2 provides customers with an exceptional video experience and an unparalleled capability to monitor every angle of their property, inside and outside, day and night," said Pat Collins, senior vice president of Arlo products at NETGEAR. "And with more power options, and the ability to optimize motion detection with activity zones, we continue to advance Arlo’s flexibility and intelligence to deliver the most comprehensive set of tools for protection of what matters most."

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
