For this week’s giveaway, we’ve teamed up with Arlo to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win an Arlo Pro 2 Camera setup that includes two wire-free cameras and an audio doorbell.
Arlo makes a range of different home security cameras, but the Pro 2 Cameras are HomeKit-enabled and can be added to your HomeKit setup so that they can be viewed within the Home app.
The two camera setup that comes with a doorbell is priced at $315 on Amazon, but there are also systems that include a single camera or up to six cameras for securing your entire home.
The Arlo Pro 2 features 1080p HD resolution with a night vision feature that triggers in low light so you can see activity even in the dark. There’s a 130 degree viewing angle so you can see most of what’s happening in a room.
Two-way audio is included so you can listen to the camera’s audio and talk to the person on the other end through your iPhone, and there’s a useful 100+ decibel smart security siren that can be activated from anywhere.
Motion and sound detection are included so you can get notifications whenever the camera detects something unusual, and Arlo offers seven days of free cloud storage with upgrade options available. For those who prefer on-device storage, a USB drive can be connected to the base station.
Arlo Pro 2 cameras are wire-free and battery powered, which means they can be placed anywhere, but there is an option to plug them in to unlock 24/7 continuous video recording, three second look back to see what happens before an event triggers, and activity zones that limit where motion detection is used. You can use Arlo cameras indoors or outdoors as they have an IP65 water and dust resistance rating.
Arlo also sells the Audio Doorbell, which is meant to work in conjunction with the cameras. Whenever someone presses the doorbell, you’ll receive a notification in the form of a call, and you can respond back right away. Visitors are also able to leave messages that you can listen to remotely through your iPhone.
We have a two camera Arlo Pro 2 setup to give away, which also comes with the Arlo Audio Doorbell. To enter to win the giveaway, use the Gleam.io widget below and enter an email address.
