Amazon drops prices on these Arlo Pro outdoor security camera kits

Amazon dropped the prices significantly on Arlo Pro 2 wireless outdoor camera system kits. Smart home security is a driving force for many people who are ready to move beyond just saying, “Alexa” or “Hey, Google.” Wireless outdoor security systems are easy to install, and the Arlo Pro 2’s reputation and customer ratings should put it on anyone’s short list when they’re in the market for outdoor security cameras.

Arlo Pro 2 wireless security camera systems include at least one camera and a required Arlo base station. You cannot use Arlo cameras without a base station installed in your home and connected to your home Wi-Fi. The base station has an internal 100-decibel siren that can be configured to go off when any Arlo cameras in the system detect sound or motion or to sound only on command from the Arlo mobile app. The base station supports all Arlo camera generations, so you can mix or match cameras in the same system.

The weather-resistant IP65 Arlo Pro 2 cameras are 100% wire-free and run on rechargeable batteries which makes them perfect as outdoor security cameras. The cameras record 1080p full HD video day and night, using infrared LEDs for night vision. The cameras support two-way audio and allow customized activity zones for the motion and sound alert. The Arlo Pro 2 also has a 3-second lookback feature that records three seconds before an alert so you can view what happened just before the alert. You can also use Arlo Pro 2 cameras indoors.

The Arlo Pro 2 is Alexa and Google Assistant compatible so you can control the system with voice commands and view livestream and recorded video on supported smart displays. Using the Arlo mobile app you can also see live or recorded footage, configure the system, and receive remote alerts. Recorded video clips of alert events are stored in the cloud for free for seven days, but you can also connect a USB drive to the base station to keep local backups of recorded video.

Do Arlo Essential cameras require the Arlo Smart Hub?

Arlo makes some of the most popular smart home cameras. They're reliable, easy to install, and supported by platforms such as Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Many of its best devices fall into the Essential family, which includes the Essential XL, Essential 2K, Essential Indoor 2K, and Essential Video Doorbell.

Alongside these products, Arlo offers something known as a Smart Hub. This is available in two formats (Ultra Smart Hub and Pro Smart Hub), and both make it easy to connect your Arlo devices to the internet. But do you need an Arlo Smart Hub to use Arlo Essential cameras? Or can you get them online without purchasing the secondary hub?

Do you need a subscription for a Ring doorbell or camera?

Anyone shopping for a DIY home security system has probably stumbled upon Ring. The company has an ever-growing lineup of cameras and video doorbells that are consistently ranked among the best available -- and since they're easy to set up and offer tons of functionality, it's no surprise they're so popular.

One thing to keep in mind when looking at Ring products is that you'll be on the hook for more than just the sticker price. Ring offers a monthly subscription service known as Ring Protect. Many of the best features for its cameras and video doorbells are locked behind this subscription plan, meaning owners who don't sign up will be missing out on important functionality.

Can you use a Blink Outdoor Camera without a subscription?

For security and peace of mind around your home, a Blink Outdoor Camera is one of the most popular choices for keeping an eye on your property. The outdoor cameras have features like motion detection, a Live View which lets you see what is going on at your property right from your smartphone, and an Activity Zones option that lets you choose which areas of your property you want to record -- which is handy if you live near a busy street where cars could constantly set off annoying motion detection notifications. The recently released Blink Outdoor 4 has improved on these features to make them even better than the previous Blink Outdoor 3.

Like most home security systems, Blink operates on a subscription plan, with a monthly charge starting at $3 to use the service. But if you don't want to pay for the charge, you might want to try using the cameras without the subscription -- though there will be some severe limitations if you do.
