ARLO NOW WORKS WITH SMARTTHINGS TO MAKE THE HOME SMARTER AND MORE SECURE

Use SmartThings to Monitor Your Home Inside and Out with NETGEAR Arlo Wire-free HD Cameras

SAN JOSE, Calif. — August 30, 2016 NETGEAR®, Inc.(NASDAQ: NTGR), the leading provider of smart home security cameras, today announced the Arlo Wire-free HD Security Camera’s integration with Samsung’s SmartThings. The collaboration will enable Arlo Wire-free cameras to interact with devices on the SmartThings platform, while also adding video recording to its Smart Home Monitor security solution.

The Arlo camera makes a great addition to SmartThings Smart Home Monitor as an elegant, and easy-to-use security solution. The camera can be triggered to record video clips by other devices that are part of Smart Home Monitor, such as door, window, or motion sensors. It can also act as a motion detector, to trigger other SmartThings devices, such as turning on lights as a person enters a room or approaches a house.
