It’s been four long years since Arlo refreshed their floodlight camera, which is currently 50% off – perhaps on closeout. But, I come bearing good news, as the next version will provide home owners two highly practical enhancements.
Assuming naming convention continuation, the Arlo Pro Wired Floodlight Camera, includes both positionable lights and a standard junction box mount – to leverage existing garage, and other, lighting fixture infrastructure. As the pioneers of battery powered smart cameras, perhaps it’s not surprising it took them so long to offer a hardwired Arlo floodlight. But better late than never. While Arlo’s current (or legacy?) continual recording add-on was somewhat, uh, unique, it’s possible the new floodlight’s continual power supply could lead to better integrated 24/7 recording.
The new Arlo Floodlight also happens to look “normal” vs the existing futuristic presentation… that not all home owners will get behind. Given the size of the camera module, and to keep costs constrained, I believe Arlo will stick with 2K resolution with this refresh.
No word yet on pricing or timing, although I assume it’ll arrive ahead of the holiday shopping season.
