IP-Security Camera Brand is First-of-Its-Kind to Enable Live, Human-Assisted Emergency Agent Support, Allowing Users to Directly Dispatch Appropriate First Responders

SAN JOSE, Calif. — July 21, 2021 — Arlo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ARLO), a leading smart home security brand, today announced its new AI-based subscription service plans with the introduction of Arlo Secure and Secure Plus. The premium services boast support for unlimited household security devices, along with advanced AI object detection, and smarter, more interactive notifications. Additionally, the new 24/7, one-touch Emergency Response is available with the Secure Plus plan, enabling Arlo users to directly dispatch first responders during an emergency for quicker action.

In the event of an emergency when every second counts, thanks to Arlo’s new Emergency Response service, with one touch, customers can rapidly send fire, police or medical responders to a camera’s location. This eliminates the need to physically talk to a dispatcher, saving precious time so users can stay focused on managing the emergency or getting back to their home. Agents will share critical information input by customers into the Arlo App, enabling emergency personnel to better prepare while en route. Users will receive updates from Arlo Emergency Response agents via their preferred method of communication, through SMS messaging, or a voice call.

“The unveil of the Arlo Secure and Arlo Secure Plus represent Arlo’s commitment to enhanced emergency support and customer feedback, delivering complete peace of mind at a greater value,” says Tejas Shah, Senior Vice President of Product and Chief Intelligence Officer at Arlo Technologies, Inc. “Our users wanted easy-to-understand subscription options to help them protect their homes and loved ones, and we listened.”

Arlo Secure plans start at $9.99 a month to support unlimited security devices in the home. Alternatively, Arlo Secure Plus not only supports all household cameras, but also increases video recording quality up to 4K for supported devices and includes the Emergency Response feature for $14.99 a month. For customers with a single device, Arlo offers a $2.99 a month option.

Features of the Arlo Secure subscriptions include:

Emergency Response (Arlo Secure Plus) – With one touch, dispatch fire, police, or medical responders to the camera’s location. If directed by the user, Arlo’s Emergency Response team can also provide critical location information to responders en route to better prepare them, such as gate codes, medical conditions of family members, and pet details.

2K (Arlo Secure) and 4K (Arlo Secure Plus) Cloud-based Video Recording – View 30 days of recordings securely stored on Arlo’s SmartCloud platform, for ultimate peace of mind and protection even if the device is damaged or stolen in a break-in, storm or other physical incident.
