Arlo Pro 6

Name: Arlo Pro 6
Brand: Arlo

by Arlo

#4 in AI security cameras

I'd pick this for AI captions and video search at $9.99 a month. A wire-free 2K camera with a swappable battery.

What’s good

AI captions and search for $9.99/month
2K HDR with a wide 160° view
Swappable rechargeable battery

Heads-up

Captions and search need an Arlo Secure plan
Video Search is still labeled beta

The details

Best for: Homeowners who want AI captions without a $20 plan
Price: $124.99 + $9.99/mo (Arlo Secure Smart Aware, one camera; $19.99/mo for unlimited cameras)
Free plan: Live view and motion alerts without a plan
Skill level: Beginner-friendly
