The thoughtfully designed Arlo Baby offers a list of innovative features for a baby-monitoring camera, such as a music player, ambient sensors for monitoring air quality, temperature and humidity, and a built-in multi-colored night light. Arlo Baby also provides everything you could possibly want in a baby monitoring device, with remote access to video, live streaming and recording, two-way audio, and advanced night vision capabilities, enabling parents to watch over their baby in crystal-clear 1080p HD video, day and night, from anywhere. With a built-in rechargeable battery, Arlo Baby camera can go untethered, allowing parents to move the camera around the house when needed. The Arlo smart analytics platform provides real-time, customizable alerts when motion or sound is detected. Arlo Baby can even tell you if the detected sound is your baby’s crying.
With rolling 7 days of free cloud recordings, Arlo Baby monitoring camera will ensure you never miss a precious moment. Arlo Baby’s appearance can even be personalized by turning the camera into adorable characters such as a bunny, a cat, or a puppy to be a friendly addition to your nursery. The optional Arlo Baby 7-inch LCD touchscreen display not only provides parents with a better, uninterrupted monitoring experience, but also allows them to use Arlo Baby without any dependency on the home WiFi network. For example, the display and camera can be used when visiting with relatives or friends without connecting to their wireless network for internet access.
“When we looked at other baby monitoring solutions, it became clear to us that we had an opportunity to develop a product that would significantly improve the experience of baby monitoring for today’s busy Moms and Dads,” said Pat Collins, senior vice president of Arlo products at NETGEAR. “With exceptional 1080p video both day and night, crystal clear audio and smart analytics that provide instant alerts when the baby is crying or when their environment has changed, Arlo Baby is a giant leap forward in baby monitoring technology. And with our easy-to-use mobile app, parents will feel connected to their baby whether they are across the globe or in the next room.”
