Abstract: Arlo Technologies recently re-launched its Arlo Ultra 4K wireless security camera after experiencing issues during its initial availability. The widely reported issues, which caused the company to pull back on the launch, involved bugs and connectivity is...
4K video capture, Automatic zoom and tracking, Color night vision, Onboard LED spotlight
Doesn't support 4K in automatic zoom-and-track mode, Incompatible with existeing Arlo base stations
Despite its rocky debut, the Arlo Ultra is another win for Arlo and security DIYers. This 4K security cam shares many features with the Nest Cam IQ Outdoor—which will remain our top pick in outdoor security cameras due to such features as facial recogniti...
High-quality 4K video camera, with HDR, 180-degree panoramic video, with 12x digital zoom, Integrated spotlight and siren, Colour night-vision
Expensive
With its teething problems now -- hopefully -- behind it, the Arlo Ultra proves to be an impressive and versatile security device. It's expensive, and might be a case of overkill for homes and small businesses that don't want to pay the premium subscripti...

Excellent image quality, Packed with features, Well-designed app
No free video storage, Expensive, Some features limit resolution
If you're willing to spend the money, you'll love the excellent image quality the Arlo Ultra offers. Footage is fantastically detailed, and is available in color both during the day and at night thanks to the built-in spotlight. The weatherproof home secu...
Crystal-clear, wide-angle 4K footage, Generous free cloud storage, Records in colour at night
Higher subscription price for 4K, Expensive camera, Most people can't view 4K footage easily
The Arlo Ultra is by far the best smart security camera I've used: tThe footage is sharp, the features are top notch and Arlo's subscription package is both generous to those who don't want to pay and flexible enough to include those who do. As I said ear...
You can set activity zones so you're only alerted when motion is detected in these area, The two-way microphone lets you hear what's going on in your home and talk to anyone there, Pro-active notifications about motion give you quick access to triggering
It uses a base station that connects to your router - this may look unsightly, depending upon where your router is positioned
It's expensive, but the best you can buy when it comes to wi-fi security systems. Simple to use, it records clear 4K footage and lets you set zones where the camera monitors for motion. It can cleverly identify whether the cause is person, animal or vehic...

Video quality is superb with 4K HDR, Lots of features, Easy mounting and installation, Works with wider Arlo system
High price, Needs subscriptions, Caveats on features, Mounting not secure, 4K live stream is hit and miss
The Arlo Ultra represents some of the best outdoor security video that you'll find. The combination of 4K and HDR, good night vision and control over motion detection and the notifications you can receive all goes some way to justifying the lofty price.Th...
Easy to install, Excellent 4K footage, Powerful modes gives you complete control over recording,
No 4K recording out of the box, 4K streaming disables motion tracking,
A simple-to-install wireless camera, the Arlo Ultra's 4K footage is some of the best that we've seen from a camera, so it's a massive shame that Ultra HD recording isn't enabled by default and costs extra if you want to store it in the cloud. The Arlo app...
