You'll pay a premium for the Arlo Ultra, but you get a lot for your money. This is the first security camera we've tested that streams and records 4K video, and there are no wires to deal with, making installation a snap.

No wires; Weatherproof; Detailed 4K imagery with a wide field of view; Color night vision; AI-based motion detection; Integrated spotlight; Auto-zoom and motion tracking; Amazon Alexa, Apple Watch, and Google Assistant support

Expensive; Requires a hub; Some features require a subscription

Sadly arlo have not developed a fix for activity zones. Hence they are non existent, I reported this to arlo for over 4 months but still no solution. Cameras recorded everything in view, batteries drained in five days. Check out the forum. This is a common problem.

Arlo Ultra simply is the best wireless security cameras you can get at the moment. It has 4K HDR recording support (local & cloud), great design, impressive operating temperature (-20 to 60 degree Celsius), and Smart AI features that can differentiate between people, animals, vehicles, and packages...

Bought a pack of these after reading mostly good reviews. It was horrendous. Would constantly disconnect. Wouldn't load. We couldn't even get it to work long enough for us to see if we were placing it in a good spot to then secure it. Returned and bought another brand which has been perfect!

You've got numerous choices in connected some security cameras these days, but almost all of them require wires. Running a camera solely on batteries introduces a lot of uncertainty. Will it last long enough Will it wake up reliably

Video The 4K video is a huge step up from past Arlo cameras; It looks great and file sizes aren't enormous, Battery The battery will last a month or more on a charge, and it's more reliable than other battery-powered cameras, Local storage You can save all your recorded videos to a microSD card...

Price The $400 price tag for the single-camera kit is a bit outrageous when there are so many cheaper wired cameras; Speed While it's better than other wireless cameras; the Arlo Ultra still takes a few seconds to wake up; Local video restriction For some reason; you can only stream in 4K while on...

If you fancy connecting everything at home to an app, you can now add a high-resolution surveillance camera to the list of changeable lights and other smart home items hooked up to the Net.

The Arlo Ultra has its limitations, but if you're willing to spend the money you'll love the good image quality and smorgasbord of smart features.

Excellent image quality; Packed with features; Well-designed app

Expensive; Some features limit resolution
