Netgear's Arlo Security Light System Will Keep Your Home Safe From Intruders

No compatible source was found for this media. Netgear has launched a new smart home security product: the Arlo Security Light. The motion-activated light system will work in tandem with Arlo's security cameras and will be available for purchase on May 25. ( Arlo ) After announcing the Arlo Security Light late last year, Netgear has finally set a release date for the wireless, motion-activated and weather-resistant LED lighting system. Features The Arlo Security Light, which is part of Netgear's Arlo Smart Home Security product line, is designed to keep intruders, thieves, and robbers at bay. The LED security light system boasts a completely wireless design. The bridge and the lights are both free of power cords or wires, allowing the lights to be placed anywhere without any hassle. The light is also IP65-certified weather resistant, so if it is placed outdoors and it starts raining, users need not worry about the light's safety. It has the ability to sync with any existing Arlo security cameras to illuminate potential outdoor threats. The motion-activated lights will switch on automatically when it detects movement, prompting the cameras to start recording. Not only can users choose from a wide range of colors, but they can also adjust the size of the beam width and set the lights to flash in order to draw attention to suspicious activity or scare off intruders. This lighting effect can be triggered by motion detected by the Arlo Security Light or by one of the Arlo security cameras. The Arlo Security Light also comes with Amazon Alexa integration, allowing users to control the light using simple voice commands. Release Date And Pricing The lights will be available for purchase on May 25, and Amazon has already started accepting preorders for the product in one, two, or three light packs. Each pack comes with a kit, which includes the light, the mounting materials, and the bridge that helps increase the coverage area of the lights by extending the range of each light by about 30 meters. Amazon will also sell the light and bridge separately, and they're already available to preorder on the retailer's website. A single light kit has been priced at $149, and every light adds on $100 to the price tag, which means that the two-light kit will cost $249.99, and the three-light kit retails for $349. As far as the light and the bridge is concerned, the light costs $129.99 and the bridge $59.99 if purchased separately. However, the bridge and the light will require the main security light system to function, which means that if they're purchased separately, they won't work if one does not already have the Arlo Security Light system installed.

Security company in Bellevue vandalized

BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV) - An Omaha home security company based out of Bellevue is using its own camera to help track down a thief who stole items from outside their building. Chris Malmberg, the owner of Omaha Security Systems Inc. says an unidentified man stole nearly $300 worth of landscaping Sunday night. "The motion sensors went off and I got a notification on my phone that he was there. We saw him take the plants, we watched him drive away and then immediately contacted police," said Malmberg. "He was real nervous, but he ended up stealing shrubbery, Hosta plants, I mean - never in my life have I ever known somebody to steal landscaping." Malmberg said the plants could be replaced, but what's frustrating is that this is one of several vandalism incidents his business has experienced since OSSI moved into the building near Jefferson and Mission Ave. "We've had vandalism, we've had items stolen, or attempted to be stolen, with the security that we...

Study: Majority of U.S. Broadband Households Concerned About Security of IoT Devices

As Internet-connected devices become more ubiquitous, security and privacy concerns of end users are also on the rise. Simply installing security systems in smart homes is no longer enough. Security integrators must also consider bolstering cybersecurity measures when installing their systems. A recently released whitepaper from IoT research firm Parks Associates, titled “Residential Security and Encryption: Setting the Standard, Protecting Consumers,” reveals that 64% of U.S. broadband households are concerned about security and privacy when using their connected devices. Parks Associates also found that the majority of homeowners assume security integrators are addressing their cybersecurity concerns. In fact, a Parks Associates survey of U.S. security owners found 63% of professionally monitored subscribers believe the wireless signals from their system are encrypted, even though encryption is currently not the industry-wide standard. While the whitepaper outlines a few ...

Ring Alarm review: A great DIY home security system with the potential to become even better

Ring builds some of our favorite video doorbells and security camera/outdoor lighting mashups. Now the company—recently acquired by Amazon—is moving inside the home with a strong and inexpensive DIY home security system: Ring Alarm. It’s a fantastic product today, and Ring says it will only get better with time. Ring Alarm is positioned as a mainstream home security system, and while you won’t find a great deal of innovation here (there’s nothing like the Nest Detect sensor that comes with the much-more-expensive Nest Secure system , for example), it’s already equipped with everything it needs to grow into a comprehensive smart home system. Ring Alarm doesn’t support smart lighting controls, door locks, thermostats, garage-door openers, or other common smart home products today, and there’s a very short list of supported third-party products. But it lacks nothing needed to support those and similar devices down the road. And in an intervi...
