Leading smart home security brand Arlo and electronics giant Samsung have expanded their partnership to include Arlo cameras and doorbells into Samsung SmartThings ecosystem.
SmartThings is an app that runs on Samsung smartphones, tablets and televisions and allows users to see in one place all their smart devices and appliances to allow you to easily monitor and control them.
This new partnership will include the most popular features of Arlo Secure 5 into SmartThings to make managing your smart home security even easier.
The functionality is due for release in the coming months and will include:
– Two-way audio between SmartThings and Arlo cameras and doorbells.
– Event snapshots for improved visibility within SmartThings.
– AI-powered object detection using Arlo’s advanced computer vision technology. Arlo’s platform can identify people, vehicles, and packages, allowing SmartThings users to customize notifications and automations based on this information.
“We are excited to bring this significant upgrade and the power of Arlo Intelligence to SmartThings users,” said Matthew McRae, CEO of Arlo Technologies.
“With a shared spirit of innovation and commitment to delivering a seamless user experience, we’re proud of our continued collaboration with the SmartThings team to make the smart home experience accessible for all.”
Mark Benson, Head of SmartThings US said: “At SmartThings, we are always focused on enhancing our ecosystem to provide users with the most intuitive and secure experience.
“By expanding our partnership with Arlo, we are able to offer even more intelligent and responsive security features that seamlessly integrate into the SmartThings platform, helping users feel more connected and confident in their smart home.”
