Arlo updates its security system to caption what cameras see and detect gunshots

Arlo is updating its security system subscription with new AI-powered skills for detecting fire, gunshots, screams and more

As part of Arlo Secure 6, cameras will not only be able to use object-detection to identify things like packages, but also send you a notification when they visually detect a flame. The list of things devices can detect via sound is also expanding to include gunshots, screams, barking and broken glass, making it easier to know when to call for help. To make it easier to review footage, Arlo is now also using AI to generate captions for the clips your security system captures, that way you don't need to watch everything to know what's going on.
