Arlo Ultra 2 review 2024: for home security

Arlo is one of the mainstays of the home security market. It was one of the first companies to make a wireless camera for consumers in 2014, and since then it has become known for making some of the best home security cameras on the market. With each update, the resolution and quality of the videos have gotten better, and the number of unwanted alerts has gone down thanks to features like customizable motion zones and the use of AI to find the source of an alert.

The Arlo Ultra 2 is the latest product from the company, but it doesn’t have a lot of new features. Instead, it’s more of a small upgrade to the Arlo Ultra, which was the first Arlo home security camera to record in 4K quality. Still, it does a great job of keeping an eye on your house when you’re not there and gives you full footage of any break-ins or other problems.

Arlo Ultra 2 specifications

Arlo Ultra 2 review: Design

The Arlo Ultra 2 has the same sleek, black-and-white look as Arlo’s other home security cameras. The rechargeable battery is in a glossy white case that can be taken off in one piece. The 180-degree lens and an LED flashlight are on the sleek black face. It’s a fairly small home security camera, measuring 3.5 x 2 x 3 inches (8.9 x 5.2 x 7.8cm) in height, width, and depth. It’s also waterproof.

On the bottom of the camera are connector pins for a magnetic charging cable, if you’d rather hard-wire the Ultra 2, as well as a button that lets you take off the case. On the back is a connector for the screw mount, if you want to put the camera on the wall. You can buy this camera from its official website

Arlo Ultra 2 review: Features

In the recorded video quality test, the Arlo Ultra Wireless did not get a very good score. This is because the camera only records in HD, not 4k, and video recorded during the day is often too bright. Also, the wide field of view setting makes faces look a little blurry and makes everything look far away. Also, the night vision had trouble being clear when it came to facial details.

Arlo Ultra 2 review: App

The Arlo Ultra received a score that was significantly higher than the norm in our evaluation of how easy it is to use the product. Because the app’s home screen organizes everything in a way that makes it simple and obvious to find what you’re looking for, using it is a breeze. In addition to that, there are a lot of helpful notifications that are not difficult to set up.

Arlo Ultra 2 review: Battery

Arlo Smart gives you smart alerts and rich messages, which let you watch a video clip right in the alert. It also lets you set up custom activity zones and call 911 directly from the app.

As a battery-powered camera, Arlo only records when something moves in front of it. However, if you plug it in, you can set it to record all the time. You will also have to pay an extra $10 to $20 a month for 14 or 30 days if you want to record continuously. The cost of an Arlo device can add up quickly.

Arlo Ultra 2 review: Price and availability

The regular Secure plan has a monthly fee of just £2.79 for one camera, or £8.99 for an unlimited number of cameras. This plan records at a maximum resolution of 2K and provides up to 30 days of video history. Given those rates, the only scenario in which Arlo Secure Plus makes sense is one in which numerous cameras are installed.

Final Words

The Arlo Ultra 2 is the most advanced wireless camera we have tested to date, and it records in 4K resolution. It has a better range than the first model and costs around the same. This system stands out from similar devices on the market thanks to its superior software and modes, which let users regulate when the cameras may and cannot record footage. However, cloud storage for 4K footage is prohibitively expensive, and the majority of consumers will find that the more affordable Arlo Pro 4 better meets their requirements.
