About Arlo Camera

The Arlo Pro 4 is our pick for the best smart security camera

Arlo Pro 4 Camera App Guide - The Arlo Pro 4 is our pick for the best smart security camera on the market, thanks to supreme smart home integration, 2K video resolution, affordable cloud storage, and no base station. It's not a cheap or perfect camera. But after testing it for a few weeks, we think it strikes the best balance of advanced features and price compared to other high-end cameras like the Google Nest Cam† and the Ring Spotlight Cam.

It's a great option for folks looking for a high-end outdoor camera.

Arlo’s latest in the Pro series is a streamlined camera that just about anyone can install and connect to tons of smart home devices like lights or smart displays. And it can also boast an entirely wire-free setup—in an upgrade to the Arlo Pro 3, it doesn’t require a base station either. We’re all for reducing bulky and pricey equipment requirements.

Arlo has consistently appeared in our lists of best cameras over the years because the brand consistently makes products that perform exceptionally well in terms of quality and connectivity.

It can be pricier than competitors like Reolink, but if smart home options are important to you or you’re an Apple user, Arlo has more options to connect with.

It’s also got impressive motion zone customizations and the widest field of view (160°) of cameras we recommend. Motion zones let you cut down on motion alerts by ignoring busy areas like sidewalks or a bus stop near your house. And if you want to cover a wide area, a bigger field of view will help you do that with fewer cameras.

Video quality and recording options

Video quality

The Arlo Pro 4 has great video quality, thanks to a 1440p (2K) video resolution, which is better than the 1080p on most other security cameras. Videos were clear with a lot of detail, making it easy to identify objects, animals, and people in the frame.

One of the Arlo Pro 4's best features is its night vision in color and infrared modes. The color night vision uses a built-in spotlight to light up subjects near the camera when there's motion. It's useful for getting a little more detail, but it's not as discreet as the infrared night vision setting.

We noticed a delay between an action and when it shows up during a live video stream. The delay depended entirely on our internet bandwidth, so you shouldn't have problems with a speedy internet connection.

Field of view

We appreciate the Arlo Pro 4's 160º field of view, which is much wider than a typical security camera (around 130º on average). Such a broad perspective outdoors means less cameras needed for an area like a backyard—saving you money and hassle.

Although the field of view is great for capturing a lot of detail, you can adjust it in the app to 125º or 110º—both of which can work well for recording video indoors.

There's also an option to automatically zoom and track people moving in front of the Arlo Pro 4, which is more helpful outdoors when subjects are farther from the camera. We prefer to turn this setting off indoors because it can be jarring with closer objects.
