Award-winning solution gives users the power to decide when their camera is monitoring a room and recording
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 2, 2021 -- Arlo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ARLO), a leading smart home security brand, today
announced its all-new Essential Indoor Camera is now available for those who want superior video surveillance
and security. Featuring an easy-to-control, automated privacy shield, the camera allows users to automatically
activate the privacy shield that covers the camera lens, extending Arlo's commitment to user privacy by
delivering unparalleled peace of mind. The versatile Essential Indoor Camera enables users to monitor babies,
pets, elderly family members, restaurants, stock rooms and more, with 1080p HD video, a 130-degree diagonal
field-of-view, motion and audio detection and full-duplex audio for two-way conversations. The Essential Indoor
Camera is available now for pre-order through Arlo.com, BestBuy.com, Amazon.com and other retailers,
at an MSRP of $99.99.
The Arlo Essential Indoor Camera's unique automated privacy shield is a reassuring feature designed to ease
privacy concerns around having a security camera indoors. When the privacy shield is in the disarm mode,
recording, motion and audio detection is disabled and won't be enabled until the shield is opened by the user
via the Arlo app. Users can also signal the privacy shield to open automatically and begin recording by starting
a live stream or changing the camera to arm mode. This gives users the power to decide when their camera is
monitoring a room and recording video/audio, and when it is not.
"Arlo holds user privacy in the highest regard and the all-new Essential Indoor Camera further supports that
commitment," said Tejas Shah, SVP of Product and CIO at Arlo. "Unlike competitive indoor monitoring solutions,
we designed the Essential Indoor Camera with a clearly visible privacy shield, easily differentiating it from
the camera face so users can distinguish at a glance when the privacy mode is activated. This thoughtful design
element provides added peace of mind, so users can quickly identify whether or not the camera is capable of
recording."
From a video-quality standpoint, Arlo engineered the new Essential Indoor Camera with image-based motion and
sound detection sensors to seamlessly trigger recording when the camera is armed. High definition, 1080p video
quality with enhanced night vision allows users to capture important details day or night. The camera features a
built-in microphone and speaker, complete with advanced, full-duplex audio for clearer, more natural remote
conversations. A built-in siren provides an added safety measure, which can be triggered automatically or
manually from the Arlo app, upon motion or audio detection – allowing users to swiftly and effectively deter an
intruder.
The Arlo Essential Indoor Camera – recognized as a 2021 CES Innovation Award Honoree and recipient of a 2021
TWICE Picks Award – offers a sleek, premium, unibody design for seamless incorporation anywhere inside a home or
business. Available in white and black, the indoor camera features a versatile, integrated swivel mount that
enables users to angle and mount the device on walls or place on any surface to capture the desired vantage
point.
Arlo's AI and CV service, Arlo Smart, compliments the hardware to deliver total protection. Users receive a
complimentary three-month Arlo Smart trial included with their Essential Indoor Camera purchase. Arlo Smart
provides extended 30-day rolling cloud storage of 1080p HD video recordings for added peace of mind. Smarter,
customizable notifications enable users to detect people and animals inside the home1. And when help
is needed, Arlo Smart's e911 feature allows users react faster by connecting to emergency services local to the
camera's location instead of waiting to be rerouted from the location linked to their smartphone – saving
precious moments in emergency situations2. Controlled entirely through the Arlo app, users can easily
view live streams and recordings, adjust their camera settings or access cloud recordings.
