Arlo undoubtedly makes some of the best video doorbells out there, and the company’s second-generation model already offered several premium features, including 2K video recording, a 180-degree field of view, and two-way audio. And now, the company has unveiled its third-generation Arlo Video Doorbell, bringing several upgrades over the previous generation.
According to Arlo’s official announcement , the new lineup includes two models: a battery-powered video doorbell and a wired version. Both models are available in four color options, including White, Black, Greystone, and Sand Dune.
In terms of features, the Arlo Video Doorbell (3rd Gen) retains the same 2K video recording and 180-degree field of view but adds 12x digital zoom and dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity. The latter is one of the biggest improvements over the previous generation, which only supported 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

Arlo also says the new doorbell is designed to withstand heat, cold, rain, and sun. It also works with several popular smart home platforms, including Amazon Alexa , Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT.
The new video doorbell also supports the company’s Secure Early Warning System, which can provide detailed event descriptions, recognize familiar faces and vehicles, and alert users to potential threats.
The AI-powered system also includes person, animal, vehicle, and package detection, while its threat assessment feature provides additional context around detected activity.
However, these advanced features require an Arlo Secure subscription, with the company offering three plans: Smart Aware, Smart Secure, and Ultra Secure. It’s worth noting that the wired version supports 24/7 continuous video recording, although that requires a subscription as well.
As for availability, both the wired and battery-powered Arlo Video Doorbell (3rd Gen) models are available for pre-order at $79.99 each, with shipping expected to begin later this month.
