  "textContent": "Home security cameras just keep getting cheaper and cheaper. While Blink launched last year in Australia with impressive pricetags, Arlo has joined the party with its new pan tilt indoor and outdoor home security cameras,.\n\nStarting at $79 for the indoor model and $119 for the outdoor security camera, the new Essential Pan Tilt models make it easy for customers to track and capture motion with 360° pan and 180° tilt. Plus, they're cheap: At $79, the indoor model is technically cheaper than the subscription you need to get the most out of it.\n\nThe announcement is part of a broader product refresh from Arlo, with new generations landing across the Essential, Pro and Ultra Series cameras. All of them tap into Arlo Intelligence, the company's AI-powered platform that promises smarter alerts for homeowners.\n\n## What you're getting\n\nThe Essential Pan Tilt cameras bring some pretty decent features to budget-friendly price points. Both models include automatic motion tracking that follows people and animals once they're detected, dual-band Wi-Fi support for better connectivity, and night vision.\n\nThe outdoor model adds weather resistance and an integrated spotlight to help you capture details like clothing colours or license plates when it's dark. Both cameras come with power adapters for continuous operation, so you won't need to worry about charging batteries.\n\nYou can set custom viewing position shortcuts in the Arlo Secure app for one-tap camera movement, and there's a privacy control feature that lets you disable audio and video recording on demand. An integrated siren can be triggered manually or automatically if you need to scare off any unwanted visitors.\n\n## The AI subscription bit\n\nArlo's push into more affordable territory comes alongside its continued investment in AI-powered features through Arlo Intelligence. The platform launched earlier this year, and offers personalised alerts with animated previews and the ability to customise monitoring for specific areas like your driveway or front gate.\n\nThe basic Arlo Secure subscription starts at $6.67 a month (billed annually) and unlocks the core smart features. If you want the more advanced stuff - person and vehicle recognition, fire detection, advanced audio detection and event captions - you'll need to step up to Arlo Secure Plus.\n\n## The rest of the lineup\n\nBeyond the pan-tilt models, Arlo has refreshed its core camera range with new generations.\n\nThe Essential Security Camera 2K (3rd Gen) captures 2K video for $149, positioning itself as an entry point for everyday monitoring.\n\nThe Pro Security Camera 2K (6th Gen) at $199 steps things up with 2K HDR video, a 160° field of view, colour night vision, and a swappable rechargeable battery.\n\nAt the premium end, the Ultra Security Camera 4K (3rd Gen) delivers 4K HDR video with an ultra-wide 180° field of view for $279, or $599 for a two-camera kit. The Ultra model includes premium two-way audio with wind and noise cancellation.\n\n## Pricing and availability\n\nAll the new Arlo cameras will be available from October 13th on Arlo.com. Here's the full Australian pricing:\n\n  * Essential Pan Tilt Indoor Camera: $79\n  * Essential Pan Tilt Security Camera: $119\n  * Essential Security Camera 2K (3rd Gen): $149\n  * Pro Security Camera 2K (6th Gen): $199\n  * Ultra Security Camera 4K (3rd Gen): $279\n  * Ultra Security Camera 4K (3rd Gen) 2-Camera Kit: $599\n\n\n\n* * *\n\n### Latest home security deals\n\nJoin readers supporting BTTR!
