A home security system that can detect fires, spot movement, sound the alarm and even help you alert the emergency services no longer requires professional installation. With Arlo Home Security, all of these features – plus 4K HDR video options, sirens and a wire-free, weather-resistant design – are accessible with a security system that’s easy to install.Arlo’s latest feature, and an industry-first for DIY home security camera systems in Europe and the UK, is called the Emergency SOS Button. Bringing the system closer to professionally-installed home alarms – and helping it stand out from other DIY systems – the SOS Button connects users directly to local emergency services through the Arlo app. It even works from your smartphone’s lock screen, so you can call for help with a tap, right from the notification.This new function works right across Europe and the UK, thanks to dialling 112. This is the code used to call the emergency services, whichever European country you are in – so for Arlo customers in the UK, the app dialling 112 will connect you exactly as if you’d dialled 999 yourself. The Emergency SOS Button is designed to produce a faster response time in real-world emergencies, since it requires just a single press of an on-screen button, no dialling and no need to even navigate to your phone app.Best known for its wireless, battery-powered security cameras, Arlo now offers a wider range of home security products, including indoor and outdoor monitoring systems available individually or as part of bundles.
