The Arlo Pro 5S 2K Four-Camera Kit Is $70 Off Right Now

THE Arlo Pro 5S 2K Quad Camera Kit with solar panel dropped to $229.99 at Woot, compared to $299.99 for the same plan on Amazon. This price includes a complete outdoor setup with four weatherproof exterior home security camerasfour rechargeable batteries, mounting hardware and a solar panel with an eight-foot magnetic cable. For a complete home setup, the math comes to less than $60 per camera with solar mount included.

THE Pro 5S records in 2K resolution, or 2560 x 1440 pixels. Simply put, it captures sharper images than standard 1080p cameras. The camera has a wide 160-degree field of view, so it can cover a driveway or yard without constant repositioning, and you can zoom up to 12x digitally to read a license plate or see a face more clearly. At night, it uses both infrared LEDs for black and white images and a motion-activated spotlight for color night vision. Color clips look good for a battery camera, although daytime images still look better, note this PCMag Review. You also get two-way audio, an 80-decibel siren, and rapid motion alerts sent through the Arlo app.

The camera connects via dual-band Wi-Fi and works with Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings and IFTTT. It does not support Apple HomeKit. Local storage requires a separate Arlo Smart Hub. Otherwise you will need a Secure Arlo subscription starting at $9.99 per month for one camera (or $19.99 per month for unlimited cameras) for access to cloud recordings and advanced detection of people, pets, vehicles and packages. Without a subscription or hub, you’re limited to live viewing and basic alerts. Battery life can extend up to eight months in low-power mode (or more with the included solar panel), but this setting captures snapshots instead of full video clips.
