Arlo
Wire-Free Smart Security — AI-Powered Cameras & Monitoring
Request System DesignOverview
Arlo has redefined residential security with wire-free camera systems powered by AI detection algorithms that distinguish between people, vehicles, animals, and packages.
The Arlo Ultra 2 and Pro 5S deliver 4K HDR video, color night vision, and integrated spotlights in weather-rated enclosures — with battery life extending up to 6 months per charge.
Peters Audio Video deploys Arlo in applications where wire-free installation solves placement challenges that traditional wired cameras cannot address — detached structures, retrofit installations, and temporary monitoring during construction.

Specification Review
Choosing Arlo for Your Home
Compare the specific equipment proposed for your rooms, not the brand name alone. Arlo families discussed on this page include Arlo Ultra 2, Arlo Pro 5S, Arlo Essential, Arlo SmartHub. Availability, model specifications, firmware and third-party integration support need confirmation before a final design.
- Room fit: Request a model-level schedule showing where each component will be used, its mounting and power requirements, and any architectural compromises.
- Integration evidence: Identify the supported connection or driver for each required function. Separate physical compatibility from actual command support and test behavior when internet access is unavailable.
- Complete scope: Compare equipment, infrastructure, configuration, commissioning and documentation together. Confirm subscriptions, licenses, warranty terms and ongoing support separately in the proposal.
Useful project details: A property plan with gates, entrances and outbuildings, plus recording and privacy requirements.

How We Install Arlo
Discovery & Design
Every Arlo installation begins with a comprehensive consultation. We evaluate your home's architecture, existing infrastructure, and lifestyle needs to develop a detailed system proposal with room-by-room specifications and control interface design.
Architectural Coordination
For new builds and renovations, our team coordinates directly with architects and builders during the design phase — ensuring Arlo infrastructure (conduit runs, power, equipment closets) is properly planned before walls close.
Professional Installation
Installation requirements depend on the selected Arlo equipment: mounting, cabling, ventilation, power and configuration are coordinated with the project scope. Documentation records the installed components and relevant connections.
Calibration & Commissioning
After installation, we verify the specified Arlo functions and system connections. Applicable audio, video or control settings are commissioned for the room, with owner orientation and documentation appropriate to the equipment.
