Best Deal on the Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera
The Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera is on sale for just $129.99, significantly reduced from its original price of $249.99. This offer reflects the lowest recorded pricing, as validated by price tracking tools.
The Arlo Pro 3 has been awarded PCMag’s Editor’s Choice designation for its remarkable performance. Its 2K HDR video output and strong 3,000-lumen illumination feature come without the hassle of wires. Setup is a breeze; simply mount it using the provided screws, connect to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, and it’s good to go. With a generous 160-degree field of vision, the camera captures a wide area. The color night vision feature is effective but may not render colors vibrantly in darker settings. Motion notifications are urgent and precise, aided by the Advanced Object Detection function, which can differentiate between a human, pet, or vehicle instead of merely detecting motion.
The floodlight offers a dimmable function and emits a 4,000k white light, striking the right balance for intruder deterrence without overwhelming brightness. Users can activate it manually via the Arlo Secure app or allow it to function automatically through motion detection. The camera is equipped with a 12x digital zoom, supported by Auto Zoom and Tracking capabilities to follow movement within its frame. Its rechargeable battery has an impressive lifespan of several months, with an optional solar panel available for those desiring continuous power. This solar panel can be purchased separately or bundled with the entire system at a promotional price of $179.99, down from $309.98. An outdoor magnetic cable option for $49.99 is also available to maintain power.
To access recorded footage, users must subscribe to the Arlo Smart Plan, which starts at $2.99/month for a single camera and $9.99/month for up to five cameras, with higher tiers available for those who require 4K recordings.
In terms of video quality, daytime footage is sharp and vibrant, while night vision remains dependable up to 25 feet. The motion detection works effectively, alerts are swift, and stored cloud images are clear. While a slight barrel distortion may occur, it does not compromise the overall user experience, as noted in the PCMag evaluation. Additionally, this camera seamlessly integrates with Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT applets, enhancing its smart home capabilities.
