Product Information

Full details

The Arlo Pro 6 is an advanced wireless outdoor security camera designed for homeowners seeking superior visual clarity and intelligent threat detection. Its key benefit lies in its 2K+ HDR resolution with a 12-bit color sensor, capturing over 60 billion colors for exceptional detail, day or night. A potential caveat is that advanced AI features and cloud storage rely on an Arlo Secure subscription.

FAQs

Does the Arlo Pro 6 require a subscription?

While the camera can function without a subscription for basic live viewing and motion alerts, an Arlo Secure subscription is required to access advanced AI features like person, package, vehicle, and animal detection, as well as cloud storage for video history (up to 14 days) and other premium features. A 1-month trial is typically included.

What is the difference between 2K and 2K+ HDR?

2K HDR provides a high-definition resolution with improved contrast and dynamic range. 2K+ HDR, as used by the Arlo Pro 6, often refers to enhanced HDR capabilities and potentially a higher bit depth (like 12-bit color) which allows for capturing billions more colors, leading to more vibrant and detailed images, especially in challenging lighting conditions.

Can I power the Arlo Pro 6 without charging the battery?

Yes, the Arlo Pro 6 can be continuously powered using the optional Arlo Solar Panel (sold separately) or by using swappable batteries (sold separately), which allow you to quickly replace a depleted battery with a charged one without interrupting surveillance.

Is the Arlo Pro 6 suitable for extreme weather conditions?

Yes, the Arlo Pro 6 features an IP65-rated weatherproof design, making it suitable for reliable performance in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 45°C (-4°F to 113°F) and protection against rain and snow.

How does the auto-tracking feature work?

When motion is detected, the Arlo Pro 6's wide-angle lens will automatically zoom in and pan/tilt (digitally) to follow the moving subject. This helps keep the moving object in frame and provides a closer, more detailed view of activity.

What smart home devices does the Arlo Pro 6 integrate with?

The Arlo Pro 6 integrates with popular smart home platforms including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit (requires an Arlo SmartHub or base station), Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. This allows for automated routines, such as turning on lights when motion is detected.

How do I reset the Arlo Pro 6 camera?

To reset the camera, press and hold the sync button for about 15 seconds until the LED flashes amber. This will reset the camera to factory defaults. You will need to re-add the camera to your Arlo account afterwards.

Troubleshooting

Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi

Ensure the camera is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Verify your Wi-Fi password and network settings. Try restarting your router and the camera. Check if you are connecting to the correct 2.4GHz or 5GHz band.

Poor video quality or pixelation

Check your Wi-Fi signal strength. Move the camera closer to the router or consider a Wi-Fi extender. Ensure the camera lens is clean. Reduce motion detection sensitivity if background activity is causing issues.

False motion alerts

Adjust the motion detection sensitivity in the Arlo app. Utilize Activity Zones to focus detection on specific areas. Ensure AI detection for people, vehicles, or animals is enabled and configured correctly. Check for environmental factors like tree branches swaying in the wind.

Battery drains quickly

Reduce the frequency of recordings and live stream durations. Lower the video quality settings if not needed. Ensure the camera is not constantly triggered by frequent motion. Consider using the solar panel accessory or swappable batteries for continuous power.

Siren or spotlight not activating

Verify that the siren and spotlight are enabled in the Arlo app settings. Check if the camera's battery level is sufficient for these features to operate. Ensure the camera firmware is up to date.
