New
research
reveals
that 20% of U.S. Internet households
now have a video doorbell,
a figure that has risen drastically
in recent years thanks in large
part to Ring. Parks Associates'
latest Smart Home Consumer Insights Dashboard finds
that smart home purchasing is steady despite uncertain
economic conditions. The 20% figure is up from just 4%
that owned a video doorbell in 2017; however, the average
number of smart devices in a household has dropped below
seven, compared to a high of eight in 2021.
Arlo is releasing its second-generation
Essential cameras and doorbells.
The new lineup includes the Arlo Essential
XL Outdoor Camera, with 4X as the new standard
battery life of the Essential Outdoor Camera; as well as
the new Essential Indoor Camera, which comes with an
automated privacy shield. In
addition, the second-generation
Essential line includes
a new Video Doorbell with a
180-degree field of view. Each
second-gen Essential camera
is available in either full HD
resolution or 2K resolution.
