Arlo Pro 3 review: Motion and sound detectionĪrlo uses modes to define what happens when motion or sound is detected. Recorded sound was clear and had good volume within about 20 feet. Because I was talking to someone in the room, the alerts pinged frequently, forcing me to restart the two-way audio and thereby disrupt our conversation. The biggest problem I had with the two-way audio was that, whenever the phone received a notification that a person was in the room, it turned off the two-way audio. Audio from the camera to the phone was very soft, but it was clear when I held the phone close. When I spoke to someone standing in front of the camera through the Arlo app on my phone, the audio wasn't loud, but it was audible and clean. The Pro 3's two-way audio is full duplex, which means it works like a phone rather than the half duplex of a walkie-talkie-like device. In my tests, I used the full 160-degree field of view, rather than stepping it down to 125 or 110 degrees. The Pro 3's 2K (1440p) resolution is significantly higher than the Pro 2's (1080p) but not as high as the Arlo Ultra's (4K). MSRP: Pro 3 camera systems start at $499.99 for two cameras and the required SmartHub.

Night Vision: Spotlight for color, two infrared LEDs for black and white ![]() Three ports on the back connect to the included 79-inch Ethernet cable and 70-inch power cable, and there's also a port that supports a USB 2.0 external storage device up to 2TB (not included). The 5 x 6 x 1.5-inch SmartHub that's sold in many Pro 3 packages can support up to 20 cameras and other Arlo security devices depending on your network's bandwidth. Like the Pro 2 and Ultra cameras, the Pro 3 requires a base station. You can also buy an external dual-battery charging station ($49.99), extra batteries($49.99 each) and a solar panel for outdoor power ($79.99). An optional 8-foot indoor cable costs $24.99, and a 25-foot outdoor cable is $49.99. The cable's USB power block is about 1.75 x 1.75 x 1 inches and doesn't obscure adjacent outlets. Or, you can power the camera with the included skimpy, 3-foot charging cable that connects magnetically to the base of the camera. Arlo claims that the rechargeable battery can last up to six months. The Pro 3 is a wireless device that's IP65 weather resistant, so it can be used outdoors as well.
