The Arlo Pro 3 doesn't offer a 4K resolution - but you will get plenty of other great features that make this security camera a super solid choice for those who don’t need the best of the best.

Good image quality..; Stylish design, Easy to use and setup, Lots of features

...but not the highest resolution; Limited security without subscription

While the Arlo Ultra was technically the best camera we reviewed, it had some limitations and a high price that held it back. With the Arlo Pro 3 you get a slightly lower 2K resolution, but still more detail most of the competition, and you maintain most of the features that the Ultra had.

High-quality video; Flexible indoor/outdoor video; Powerful modes

App wouldn't let us add cameras at first; Enabling 2K video streaming disables some features

The Arlo Pro 3 is a wireless indoor/outdoor camera system that delivers stunning 2K video and is loaded with features including an integrated spotlight and siren, smart motion detection, color night vision, and an ultra-wide field of view.

Excellent 2K HDR video; Wireless; Integrated spotlight; Intelligent motion detection; Color night vision; Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT; Easy to install.

Expensive; Requires a hub; Some features are only available via subscription.

The Arlo Pro 3 provides Ultra features at a 2.5K resolution and a more affordable price. Here's our full review.

A capable home security camera that's easy to install and offers compelling 2K video capture. But this is a radical change from preceding devices: that you have to have a subscription for cloud storage changes the nature of this device and marks it out as different from previous Arlo Pro models.

Great design; Modular system; Works with Alexa; Decent 2K video; Night vision

Expensive; Ongoing Arlo Smart subscription costs; Doesn't lock onto the mount

A top wire-free camera - but you pay more for features Arlo security cameras put to the test Arlo security cameras put to the test

Superb 2K footage, AI smarts are useful, Colour night vision works well

Subscription now required, App is creaky and slow, Expensive

The Arlo Pro 3 smart home security system strikes the perfect balance between image quality, smart features, flexible installation, and price. With 2K video recording or smart pan and zoom, you get better-looking video quality and with totally wireless installation options it’s easy to install.

“The Alro Pro 3 is a top-notch choice for smart home security.”

Weatherproof, wire-free cameras, High quality 2K video, Smart A.I; features, Simple to install and use, Easy upgrade for existing Arlo owners

Minor performance issues with multiple 2K streams; Advanced features require subscription

The Arlo Pro 3 kit doesn’t sound like it’s all that wallet-friendly at $500 but it is a very affordable way to add security to your home or office. It’s an up-front investment as opposed to some ongoing home security system that runs $35-$45 per month.

The Arlo Pro 3 is like the Iron Man of smart security, offering powerful technical capabilities in a slick package that makes it largely easy to unleash that power (and looks great at the same time).

Excellent image quality; Loads of flexible control options; Some really useful smart features; Easy to set up

So; so expensive; Not all app controls are intuitive; Hub placement can be an issue
