Arlo Ultra review: This very expensive security camera delivers super-sharp 4k video

After producing a string of successful security cameras--including some of our top picks--Netgear spun Arlo Technologies off as an independent, publicly traded company in 2018. The company pulled the high-res security camera from Best Buy shelves for a time and delayed its general release after a series of firmware updates failed to resolve a raft of customer complaints. Based on my time with the Arlo Ultra, it would seem that Arlo has resolved the most commonly registered problems: inconsistent wireless connectivity, short battery life, and an inability to stream 4K video. None of those issues surfaced while I was evaluating the camera. As such, the Arlo Ultra is another strong security camera from a brand that has topped itself with each new product introduction.
