But if you want the absolute best when it comes to video quality, the Arlo Ultra has it.Īrlo has released the Arlo Ultra 2, which has a spotlight built into the camera. And if you want to save 4K videos, it’s an extra $1.99 per camera per month, on top of the monthly plan, the latter of which is waived for the first year. The Arlo Ultra doesn't come with a free tier of cloud storage, so you have to spend at least $3 per month if you want to save any videos. A built-in spotlight also enables color recording at night, and it has dual microphones for better audio.Īll of this will cost you, though: A single camera (with the hub) is $399, and extra cameras are $299 each. Not only do the Arlo Ultra’s cameras deliver the best home security camera video, but it also uses that extra resolution to enable digital track and zoom, which makes it easier to follow and ID a person as they move across the frame.

It's also only compatible with Alexa at the moment in terms of smart home integration, so not best if you have Google Home or Apple HomeKit. Our only qualms are that you need a subscription to store footage as there's no local storage. It's waterproof to an IPX5 rating and can withstand temperatures of -5☏ to 113☏ (-20° to 45° Celsius), so it can handle the elements.

It has good coverage on the whole, with the view being wider than it is tall, and features a speaker which allows you to chat to any visitors, or raise the alarm if necessary. As it's battery powered, there's no wires and one charge will last for months according to Ring. Although, if you want to mount it from your ceiling, you will need to buy a separate $20 ceiling mount kit (opens in new tab). It features a minimalist design which can be mounted via its base or back, giving you versatility. Ring's Stick Up Cam Battery functions as an outdoor or indoor security camera. No Google Home or Apple HomeKit integration
