Arlo Pro: Netgear’s new wireless camera runs up to six months on a single charge read more at here www.spinonews.com/index.php/item/1227-arlo-pro-netgear-s-new-wireless-camera-runs-up-to-six-months-on-a-single-charge

Netgear is rounding out the features of its wireless security camera with a new model, called the Arlo Pro. A camera meant to be placed inside or outdoors that records video whenever it sees motion and can alert owners through a connected app.

The most notable change may be that the Pro model uses a rechargeable battery, it can run up to six months on a single charge, which would be pretty great. The camera supports a wired connection, too.

A microphone and speaker have also been added to the Pro model, allowing for two things. First, the camera can be set to start recording anytime it picks up noise. Second, the camera can effectively serve as an intercom, talk through the Arlo Pro’s app.

Netgear added a software update later this year, rather than alerting owners to all motion that Arlo sees, the camera will be able to start identifying different objects. It could ignore cars or pets that walk by, but still send an alert when it sees a person.

This new model seems to be weatherproof, with a built-in battery, and only sends alerts when it detects motion. It also has a big advantage the Arlo Pro requires a hub.

The Arlo Pro goes on sale today for $249.99, with a hub included. For people who already have an Arlo hub including older model standalone cameras will be available for $189.99 each.
