INTRODUCTION
Hey there! Today we’re diving into the latest innovation in home security from Arlo. The company has introduced a new NFC-enabled tag that works seamlessly with their video doorbell, providing a convenient and efficient way to disarm your system. Let’s explore this new technology in more detail.
THE NFC-ENABLED TAG
Arlo’s new NFC-enabled tag allows you to arm and disarm your home security system with a simple tap on the keypad hub inside your house. Not only can you disarm the system using the tag, but there’s also an option to do so by tapping the tag on an Arlo video doorbell before even entering your home. This feature adds an extra layer of convenience and accessibility to your home security setup.
ACCESS SCHEDULES AND CONVENIENCE
The NFC-enabled tag, available for $19.99 for a two-pack, integrates seamlessly with the Arlo Secure app. This allows you to create access schedules for frequent visitors such as dog walkers or housekeepers. By tapping the video doorbell with the tag during their designated access period, the system can be easily disarmed, enhancing the overall user experience and convenience.
EASY DISARMING FOR RESIDENTS
For those residing in the home, the tag offers a quick and straightforward way to disarm the system. Rather than fumbling with your phone or keypad, simply tap the tag on your keychain to deactivate the system. This streamlined process makes daily interactions with your security system hassle-free and efficient.
ARLO HOME SECURITY SYSTEM
Starting at $199.99, the Arlo Home Security System features a central hub with a motion sensor, speaker, and built-in microphone. It is compatible with Arlo’s All-in-One Sensors, which function as both contact and motion sensors. These sensors can be temporarily disarmed with the push of a button for added convenience, such as letting your pet out in the middle of the night.
MULTIPURPOSE FUNCTIONALITY
In addition to their primary security functions, the Arlo system’s devices serve multiple purposes. They can act as light and temperature sensors, leak detectors, and even listen for smoke or carbon monoxide alarm sirens. The system offers self- or professional monitoring starting at $24.99 a month, inclusive of video recording for Arlo cameras and the doorbell.
COMPATIBILITY WITH ARLO VIDEO DOORBELL
The tag-to-disarm feature specifically works with the newest Arlo video doorbell models, available in HD video ($79.99) and 2K resolution ($129.99) variants. These doorbells can be either wired or battery-powered, catering to different user preferences and needs.

Arlo is renowned for its smart security cameras, including the Arlo Pro 5S 2K model ($249.99), known for its seamless integration with the security system through Arlo SecureLink. This feature ensures connectivity during internet or power outages, maintaining continuous protection for your home.
