• Click the Zoom icon.

Pan and zoom live video with Smart Zoom
When you’re viewing a live stream recording, Smart Zoom lets you zoom into any
area of the recording up to 8x. The image quality of the zoomed-in area doesn’t
deteriorate, allowing you to view a zoomed-in image with true 1080p video
resolution.
When Smart Zoom is activated, your Arlo Ultra camera can zoom in on an object and
track its movement when it detects motion in its eld of view. Smart Zoom requires an
Arlo Smart plan and you must turn it on for each camera. See Turn on Smart Zoom on
page 45.
1. Open the Arlo app.
2. Tap Play
on the camera feed.
On a mobile device, use the pinch gesture to zoom and touch and drag to move
around the zoomed-in frame.
On a computer, double-click click to zoom. Left-click and hold and drag to move
around the zoomed-in frame.
After zooming in, the image stops and buffers for about ve seconds to improve
the quality of video. When the buffering stops, your zoomed-in video renders in
high quality.
Look back video
When plugged in, your Arlo Ultra camera records continuously, but discards the video
after three seconds if no motion is detected. This means that your motion-triggered
video recordings start before any motion happens; you don’t miss a thing.
1. Plug in your Arlo Ultra camera.
2. Make sure the camera is using a motion-detection mode such as Armed.
When the camera detects motion, it records the three seconds before the motion
happened.
