Arlo Smart Home Security Camera

Arlo began its journey as a specialized division within NETGEAR, a prominent American networking hardware company. It was developed to address the growing consumer demand for wireless, high-definition smart security solutions. The brand quickly established itself as a leader in the DIY smart home market, known for its innovative battery-powered cameras and advanced cloud storage features.

In 2018, Arlo was spun off from NETGEAR into an independent, publicly-traded company through an initial public offering (IPO). While it maintains its headquarters in the United States, its manufacturing operations are largely outsourced to international facilities, with a significant portion of its hardware assembly occurring in Vietnam to optimize production costs and supply chain efficiency.

Today, Arlo Technologies operates as a standalone entity, continuing to develop a broad ecosystem of security products including doorbells, floodlights, and monitoring systems. Its business model has evolved to include both high-performance hardware and subscription-based software services, targeting the global market for connected home security and smart automation.
