Can You Put A Price On Peace Of Mind?

Arlo’s speciality is in wireless security cameras and the Ultra is their flagship. Unsurprisingly, Arlo has pulled out all the stops and crammed as many features as they could into the Ultra.

To start, it’s worth mentioning that Arlo security cameras stand out from the pack because of their wireless design. There’s no shortage of security cameras today but most of them are still wired. Arlo cameras, however, have built-in batteries and Wi-Fi and are therefore truly wireless designs. That’s an important distinction to make.

The design of the new Ultra camera is similar to its predecessors. It’s compact, pod-like, and comes in white. The magnetic mount has been redesigned so that users now have greater flexibility in positioning the camera. The Ultra is weather-proof too so you can put it outdoors and not be afraid of it getting wet.

The Ultra comes with an 8-megapixel sensor that can record videos at up to 4K resolution. The footage it captures are sharp and have appreciably more detail than cameras that record at FullHD. This can be a potential lifesaver if you need to retrieve information like vehicle license plates or labels on uniforms.
