On test, it recorded clear, detailed footage that was in color both during the day and at night thanks to the built-in spotlight, which also helps deter intruders just like the built-in alarm.

It's the first Arlo Pro camera that can be connected directly to your Wi-Fi, so it doesn't come bundled with a base station, making it more affordable. Sure, the Arlo Pro 4 doesn't have a 4K resolution like the more expensive Arlo Ultra and Arlo Ultra 2 - but the quality is still a pretty impressive 2K, which will be detailed enough for most. It’s easy to see why Arlo is a popular choice with those who take home security seriously. They're also the most expensive smart bulb on the market, but we think they're worth every penny. However, this also adds HomeKit support, to Alexa and Google Assistant integration. You will need to get the Philips Bridge, which is kind of like a hub for your lights, if you want to control them when you're away from home - they have Bluetooth built-in so you can control them when you're close by. On test, we found a range of customizable scheduling options too - for example, we were able to set outdoor lights to come on at sunset but go off at 2am, rather than waiting for sunrise.
