Leading smart home security brand Arlo has introduced Arlo Secure 5 – a suite of AI-powered industry-first features that enable Arlo cameras to recognise people and vehicles and to learn what other notifications customers want to receive.
Arlo Secure 5 builds on Arlo’s already robust system which can detect people, parcels, vehicles and animals but it takes that to the next level with recognition powered by AI and machine learning.
Now users can train the system to recognise friends and family members along with their vehicles and choose to be notified when those people and cars are seen by the cameras.
For example, a parent can privately teach the system what their son or daughter looks like and choose to receive a notification when they get home from school.
Users will also be able to do the same with vehicles that come into their driveway with the added ability of personalising alerts for vehicles they know.
The system shows detection and recognition are two different things and the customer can choose which of those notifications to receive.
Arlo Secure 5 also includes custom detection which allows customers to train the Arlo AI to deliver notifications about personalised events.
One use case could be wanting to know if the garage door has been left open, if lights are left on or if a pet is sitting on the couch.
Users would upload an image to train the system and teach it about what to look out for.
Then, when that event occurs, users will receive a notification so they can take action.
“Arlo continues to lead the industry with our advanced AI and Computer Vision capabilities, including custom detections, vehicle recognition and person recognition, that deliver even more peace of mind to Arlo users,” said Matthew McRae, Chief Executive Officer at Arlo.
“Our relentless focus on smart home security backed by our commitment to also protect our customers’ data and privacy will continue to drive more industry-first innovations that customers can trust to safeguard their loved ones.”
The new Arlo Secure subscription plans start at $7.99 a month with new Plus plans starting at $17.99 a month.
These offer 30 days of video cloud storage and events which you can view, save and share.
Customers are also able to create personalised notifications to filter unwanted notifications and choose the zones which they want to be monitored.
Having these meaningful notifications alert customers to what’s happening without the need for them to open the Arlo app.
This way they can take the appropriate action or respond to the rich notifications or view an animated video preview on the device’s lock screen.
Arlo Secure also brings advanced detection so users can be alerted if packages, animals and known people and known vehicles are detected by Arlo Intelligence.
