Auto Zoom and Tracking
To use Auto Zoom and Tracking and local live streaming, you need an Arlo Ultra
camera paired with an Arlo SmartHub.
When your Ultra camera detects motion and records video, Auto Zoom and Tracking
lets your camera zooms in on the object and tracks its movement while the motion is
within its eld of view. When Auto Zoom and Tracking is active and you’re viewing a
live stream recording, you can zoom into any point of the recording. Arlo Ultra uses its
advanced image sensor to enhance the image quality of the zoomed-in area.
Note: When Auto Zoom and Tracking is on, the zoomed-in image is in 1080p video
resolution.
When Auto Zoom and Tracking is activated, Arlo Ultra automatically zooms in and
tracks the motion for a curated clip. To access Auto Zoom and Tracking clips, tap
Library in the Arlo app to view your library.
