Arlo Pro 2K HDR
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Arlo Pro 6th-generation is a battery-powered outdoor security camera released in 2025 that records 2K HDR video with a 160° field of view and offers color and infrared night-vision. It includes AI-driven threat detection, person recognition, geofencing and a swappable battery that lasts up to eight months per charge, but requires an Arlo Secure subscription for many advanced features. Best suited for homeowners prioritizing premium video quality and advanced AI features.
The Wyze Floodlight Camera v2 is a hardwired outdoor security camera offering 2K HD video, bright floodlights, and subscription-free local storage. It suffers from inconsistent PIR motion detection and limited WiFi connectivity options. It is best suited for budget-conscious homeowners who value local storage and smart-assistant integration.

Professional reviewers commend the Wyze Cam Floodlight v2 for its sharp 2K video, bright 2800-lumens illumination, and the ability to record locally without a subscription.
Everyday users generally like the app-driven customization, the vibrant color night vision, and the peace of mind from continuous local recording, though complaints focus on unreliable PIR detection.
Professional reviewers commend the Arlo Pro 6th-gen for retaining sharp 2K HDR video, a wide 160° view and flexible night-vision options, while confirming the advertised eight-month battery life. However, they criticize its high price and the requirement for a paid Arlo Secure plan to access AI features, cloud storage and emergency response, and note the lack of a resolution upgrade over the prior generation.
