4. Image Quality Features
High Dynamic Range (HDR)
HDR solves the problem with over- or under-exposed images of scenes with both
bright and dark areas in the same picture. Your Arlo Pro 3 Camera automatically
determines when to use HDR. HDR is optimized for outdoor environments. Your
camera comes set to use HDR automatically, but you can turn it on and off. See Turn
Auto HDR on and off on page 57.
Local 2K streaming and recording
2K means you can see more details in every image, even when zoomed in. Your Arlo
Pro 3 Camera outputs 2560 x 1440 resolution at a 16 x 9 aspect ratio.
Your Pro 3 Camera streams 2K while providing:
• 160-degree diagonal eld of view that does real-time image de-warping
• Real-time high dynamic range (HDR)
• An integrated spotlight
For basic use of 2K, we recommend an average upload bandwidth speed of 2 Mbps
per camera. You can stream 2K content without a subscription. You can use 2K by
local live streaming or recording 2K motion content onto a USB device connected to
the SmartHub. 2K cloud storage is included with an Arlo Smart plan.
HEVC 2K playback-supported devices
High Efciency Video Coding (HEVC) is a video compression standard that enables
you to download and stream 2K videos with ease. To use HEVC on the Arlo app, you
must use a supported device and meet the minimum requirements. Your device must:
• Run iOS 9.0 or higher (Apple devices)
• Run Android 5.0 or higher (Android devices)
• Have the latest version of the Arlo app (for mobile)
• Use a web browser that supports HEVC
