👑 WINNER FOR MOST USERS
Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera
The Arlo Pro 4 is the camera that gets the details right — 2K HDR means license plates and faces are actually identifiable in footage, which is the whole point of a security camera. The 6-month battery life is real in owners' hands, not just marketing spec. Color night vision without an infrared washed-out look is a meaningful upgrade over 1080p competitors. The Arlo Secure subscription adds AI detection, but the camera functions well without it.
