Arlo Technologies has unveiled the next generation of its home security subscription service in Australia and New Zealand, featuring groundbreaking AI technology: Advanced Audio Detection.
This upgrade to the Arlo Secure Plus plan introduces a suite of intelligent audio analytics that will transform how homeowners perceive and respond to potential threats. The new Advanced Audio Detection feature expands on Arlo’s existing AI capabilities, including Person Recognition and Vehicle Recognition, by adding the ability to detect and alert users to critical sounds such as screams, gunshots, dog barks, glass breaking, and Smoke/CO alarms.
Matthew McRae, Chief Executive Officer at Arlo, spoke about the advancement
“Arlo continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in home security with our relentless focus on industry-first innovations. Leveraging Arlo Intelligence, a high-performance smart security AI engine with robust detection and recognition capabilities, Arlo Secure delivers a smarter, more personalised security experience that empowers quick and informed decision making.”
The enhanced Arlo Secure Plus service aims to provide users with a more intuitive and comprehensive security experience. By offering real-time alerts for specific audio events, Arlo empowers users to take swift action and ensures greater peace of mind. The Advanced Audio Detection feature will be supported on the Essential Indoor 2K & Wired Floodlight cameras — an indication the service running in the background could be comparatively power hungry — and is available to customers starting this month.
This announcement follows Arlo’s recent achievement of surpassing 5 million paid subscribers for its AI-powered subscription service. Earlier in May, the company revealed that its subscription service is generating over $275 million in Annual Recurring Revenue, marking a significant milestone in Arlo’s growth. New Arlo customers will receive a 30-day trial of Arlo Secure Plus with the purchase of select Arlo products.
Arlo attributes its success to its commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and strong customer retention. The company’s cloud-based platform and Arlo Intelligence AI engine continue to drive user value, solidifying Arlo’s passion and position as a smart home security market leader.
