This Refurbished Wireless Spotlight Camera Is Now $115
If you’re thinking about upgrading your home security without having to deal with tangled wires or complicated installations, you might want to check out this refurbished Arlo Pro 3 floodlight camera , currently on sale on Amazon for $114.95 with free shipping. It’s a wireless setup that installs easily with just a few screws and connects via 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. No electrical knowledge required. PCMag gave it an Editors’ Choice award , thanks largely to its 2K HDR video, wide 160-degree field of view, and super-bright(up to) 3,000-lumen floodlight. If necessary, you can dim the light (it’s set to a cooler color temperature of 4000K) and either turn it on manually via the Arlo Secure app or set it to automatically turn on when you move.
What’s nice here is the smart detection system: it doesn’t just ping your phone every time a leaf whizzes by. Instead, it uses object detection to tell you whether it saw a person, animal, or vehicle. It also has a 12x digital zoom with auto-tracking that helps the camera lock onto moving subjects in the frame. Picture/video quality remains good, especially during the day – crisp, colorful and clear. It still performs well at night with decent clarity out to about 25 feet, but the colors aren’t as vibrant, especially in low light. However, note that if you want to store your footage in the cloud, you’ll need to subscribe to Arlo Secure plans . Pricing starts at $7.99 per month for one camera or $17.99 per month for unlimited cameras.
On the smart home front, it works well with Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT, so it fits in well in most settings, according to this PCMag review . As for battery life, the built-in battery lasts for months on a single charge, but if that seems like a hassle, you can pair it with a solar panel for $59.99 or connect it via an Arlo external magnetic cable for $49.99.
