Arlo Secure: Home Security is the official companion app for managing Arlo's full ecosystem of smart home security devices. Developed by Arlo Technologies, Inc. — a company that spun off from NETGEAR in 2018 — the app serves as a unified hub for Arlo security cameras, video doorbells, floodlight cameras, and home security systems.
The app allows users to monitor multiple locations from a single dashboard, view live video feeds in up to 4K resolution with 12x digital zoom and color night vision, and receive intelligent push notifications when motion or sound events are detected. With an Arlo Secure subscription, users gain access to AI-powered smart detection that distinguishes between people, vehicles, animals, and packages — significantly reducing false alerts.
Arlo Secure goes beyond basic monitoring with built-in security modes (Armed, Disarmed, Schedule, Geofencing) that automate when cameras detect and record activity. Users can create custom rules per device and define activity zones. The app also supports one-tap Emergency Response and optional 24/7 professional monitoring through its premium subscription tier.
The app integrates with major smart home platforms including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit (select models), Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. With over 7 million downloads on Google Play and nearly 300,000 ratings on the App Store, Arlo Secure is one of the most widely used security camera apps on the market.
