The Arlo Foresight feature records 3-seconds of video before motion-triggered events. This means that your camera is always active, but only records when motion or audio are detected. This reduces latency between a motion detection and the start of a video recording.
Arlo Foresight works with:
- Arlo Ultra series
- Arlo Pro series (2 and above)
- Arlo Wired Floodlight
- Arlo Essential Indoor Cameras
- Arlo Essential Wired Video Doorbell
- Arlo Q, Arlo Q Plus, and Arlo Baby
To use Foresight:
The camera must be plugged directly into an AC power source or hardwired, if applicable.
- Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight requires use of the Arlo Outdoor Magnetic Charging Cable.
- Foresight will not work with an Arlo Solar Panel Charger.
An Arlo Secure Plan is required for most Arlo devices.
- Arlo Secure Plans are not required for Foresight on Arlo Pro 2, Arlo Q, Arlo Q Plus, and Arlo Baby.
