Arlo Pro 6 review

The Arlo Pro 6 is the 2025 release of Arlo's main wire-free camera, and it is built around the Arlo Secure cloud service. With a plan, Arlo saves event videos for up to 60 days and adds person, package, vehicle and animal alerts. Smart Aware for one camera costs $9.99 per month or $95.88 per year, and the unlimited-camera tier costs $19.99 per month. The camera records 2K video with HDR across a 160° view, has an integrated spotlight for color night vision, a siren and 2-way audio, and runs on a swappable battery that Arlo says lasts 15% longer than before. On Arlo's US store a single camera was $124.99 when we checked, and every camera comes with a 1-month Arlo Secure trial. Without a plan you still get live view and basic alerts, but no saved clips, so budget for the subscription from day one. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the camera.
