About

The Arlo Pro 5S is fully wireless — rechargeable battery, magnetic mount, no cable runs required — making it ideal for renters, awkward mounting spots, and temporary installations. The 2K HDR sensor delivers sharp detail in daylight, and the built-in color spotlight flips on at night to capture actual color footage instead of the grainy infrared most cameras default to. Dual-band Wi-Fi gives you a more stable connection and faster live-streaming than older single-band cameras. The integrated siren and two-way audio let you respond to detections in real time. AI object detection in the Arlo Secure app distinguishes between people, vehicles, animals, and packages — dramatically reducing false alerts. The honest caveat is the subscription. Without an Arlo Secure plan, you lose cloud recording, AI detection, and 30-day history. Local storage via USB on a SmartHub is an option but requires the hub as an additional purchase.

  • +Fully wire-free — rechargeable battery with magnetic quick-mount install
  • +2K HDR sensor with built-in color spotlight for true color night vision
  • +Dual-band Wi-Fi for stable connection and fast live streaming

  • Battery requires periodic recharging — frequency depends on motion activity
