Smart home security provider Arlo Technologies is expanding its partnership with Samsung SmartThings to bring new capabilities to the SmartThings community.

The company’s update of Arlo Secure 5 will give SmartThings users more control and convenience in managing their smart home security.

Scheduled for release in spring, the update will introduce:

• Two-way audio between SmartThings and Arlo cameras and doorbells.
• Event snapshots for improved visibility within SmartThings.
• AI-powered object detection using Arlo’s computer vision technology.  Arlo’s platform can identify people, vehicles, and packages, allowing SmartThings users to customise notifications and automations based on this information. 

“We are excited to bring this significant upgrade and the power of Arlo Intelligence to SmartThings users,” said Matthew McRae, CEO of Arlo Technologies. “With a shared spirit of innovation and commitment to delivering a seamless user experience, we’re proud of our continued collaboration with the SmartThings team to make the smart home experience accessible for all.”

“At SmartThings, we are always focused on enhancing our ecosystem to provide users with the most intuitive and secure experience,” said Mark Benson, Head of SmartThings US. “By expanding our partnership with Arlo, we are able to offer even more intelligent and responsive security features that seamlessly integrate into the SmartThings platform, helping users feel more connected and confident in their smart home.”
