Home security company Arlo Technologies has launched a new fire detection feature that will immediately alert users when a flame is detected.
Arlo designed the feature to provide an extra layer of protection by detecting fires early, giving users time to react from anywhere in the world. User benefits include;
-
Instant fire alerts: Receive a notification on your smartphone when flames are detected, even before the smoke is visible;
-
Remote action: Whether you’re at work, on holidays, or outside the house, you can react quickly and contact emergency services;
-
Comprehensive coverage: Arlo’s cameras can cover large areas, allowing for enhanced protection in kitchens, living rooms, or any area of the home; and
-
Preemptive safety: Early fire detection allows users to avoid disaster by taking preventive measures before a small fire grows into a major hazard.
Arlo uses AI technology to detect flames, unlike traditional smoke detectors that require smoke to trigger an alert. With a Secure 5 Plus subscription, Arlo cameras can identify a fire in its earliest stages – when flames are visible, but smoke has yet to spread, thereby providing a faster response time. This proactive approach allows users to react faster and more effectively, potentially preventing significant damage to their home and belongings.
Arlo’s fire detection technology is compatible with its existing suite of indoor and outdoor security cameras. Arlo notes that its video-based fire detection feature is a supplementary tool and should not replace standard fire detection systems such as smoke detectors, conventional alarms, or proper safety measures.
The fire detection feature is now available as part of the latest update to Arlo Secure 5 Plus.
