Foresight
When plugged in using the indoor or outdoor magnetic charging cable, your Ultra Camera
records continuously, but discards the video aer three seconds if no motion is detected. This
is called Foresight and it means that your motion-triggered video recordings start before any
motion happens; you don’t miss a thing.
To record and view video with foresight:
1. Plug in your camera.
2. Make sure the camera is using a motion-detection mode such as Armed.
Record clips from live video
1. Open the Arlo app.
2. Tap the camera feed image.
3. Tap Record
to begin recording.
This icon turns red to indicate that you are recording the live feed.
4. To stop recording, tap Record
again.
Note: While you’re using 4K local live streaming, you can’t record or take snapshots.
Take a snapshot from live video
1. Open the Arlo app.
2. Tap the camera feed image.

.
The snapshot is saved in your library.
Note: While you’re using 4K local live streaming, you can’t record or take snapshots.
Talk and Listen
The Arlo Ultra camera includes microphones that allow you to talk and listen. The two
microphones in the camera use beamforming for spatial ltering of sound. This lets your
camera hone-in on sound from a particular area or subject. The microphones also enable
noise-cancelling and wind noise reduction. For information about the wind noise reduction
setting, see Change your SmartHub settings on page 62.
