Arlo’s new Pro 5S 2K security camera will still work during power and internet outages

Arlo has unveiled and all-new security camera – the Pro 5S 2K camera which offers tri-band connectivity and the new Arlo SecureLink technology which can maintain connectivity even during power and internet outages.

The latest addition to the award-winning Pro series, Pro 5S i s supported by the redesigned Arlo Secure app which has a new streamlined interface to offer instant access to critical tools like emergency response.

The new camera has tri-band connectivity which means it can operate off dual-band Wi-Fi and Arlo SecureLink tso it can automatically connect to the strongest network whether it’s 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz.

This means longer wi-fi range with a reduction in RF interference while still maximising video quality.

The camera can also pair with other SecureLink devices to ensure continued security and connectivity even during a blackout or internet outage.

The Arlo Pro 5S also operates on the lowest power band while in sleep mode which adds up to significant battery life improvements – as much as 30 per cent longer battery life.

“Pro 5S is hands down the most secure and reliable camera Arlo has engineered to date,” said Tim Johnston, SVP of Product at Arlo.

“Integrating three wireless technologies into one extremely compact form factor ensures users are better equipped to protect their everything. Supporting the overall Pro 5S experience, the redesigned, intuitive Arlo Secure App ensures frictionless access to the most comprehensive monitoring tools available.”
