Save Up to $255 on Arlo Pro Home Security Systems

“Paint cans on strings.” A “chainsaw next to your bed.” “A shotgun and a rottweiler.”

Those are some of the brilliant ideas Reddit has suggested when asked for recommendations on home security systems. If you ask us, you’re better off with a fully decked out system of cameras, sirens, and sensors. Something like the Arlo Pro Smart Security Systems that Amazon has on sale right now for up to $255 off.

Wireless and weather-resistant, the Arlo Pro kits include at least one smart security camera with two-way audio, a base station with a built-in siren, power adapter, two window decals, and all the tools you’ll need to self-install the equipment inside your home. Once the system of your choice is in place, you can pair it with Amazon Alexa or Google Home to control it with your voice, and install the free Arlo companion app to keep tabs on your pad from anywhere.

Your Arlo Pro home security kit comes with a week’s worth of free cloud HD video recordings and a one-month trial of Arlo Smart, an upgraded self-monitoring service with advanced AI detection that lets you customize motion zones and alerts. If you wind up liking it, you can extend your Arlo Smart plan for as little as $2.99 a month per camera.

Arlo Pro earned “excellent” marks in PCMag’s review, and our Editors’ Choice award.

“It’s a snap to install, delivers excellent video, works with other smart home devices, and offers free cloud storage,” we wrote.

Meanwhile, Amazon reviewer Dannie bought the three-camera kit and had this to say about it:

“I bought these for my grandma’s house. For both security and to keep an eye on her. The 3 cameras were installed outside. They are waterproof, catch every movement, and the audio is amazing. Sure, you can [buy] a cheaper camera, but, you wont get the piece of mind or quality of these. I love them! A great investment.”

Head over to Amazon to get an Arlo Pro home security system starting at just $200.22 for a one-camera kit. Pro tip: Buy the three-camera kit to score the biggest discount.
