| There’s a certain NPD slide that Netgear likes to point to in all of its press and investor material. It shows the company’s security camera marketshare climbing sharply against the likes of Nest, Canary and D-Link.
It’s understandable that the company is so excited to share infographics – connected security cameras have been a successful new vertical for the company since announcing its Arlo line in late 2014, following its acquisition of VueZone.
The first round of Arlo cameras were met with fairly solid reviews, bolstered by the company’s already solid brand recognition versus a slew of startups in the space. Of course, there were some key shortcomings for that first generation – including a lack of audio and battery restraints that limited users’ ability to go fully wireless for any extended period.
A little over a year since that system’s release, Netgear is back, not so much with a replacement as an addition to its security camera offerings. While the Arlo Pro name implies a more business-facing focus, the new version of the cameras are “pro” for “professional grade” – mostly meaning that they’re, well, just better. The main reason for the distinction is that their predecessors are sticking around at a lower price point. |
