Technical specifications for this video-enabled peripheral list a 2K resolution sensor with a 2048 x 1080 pixel count, optimized with a 1:1 aspect ratio for vertical field-of-view coverage. Connectivity is established via the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band, which handles all video throughput and cloud synchronization. Material analysis confirms an IP65 weather-resistance rating, though performance metrics show that the internal rechargeable battery chemistry is subject to significant discharge rate increases in temperatures below 0°C. Data processing is primarily cloud-based, meaning video resolution and notification speed are dependent on available upload bandwidth and cloud server latency.
The hardware architecture includes a dedicated indoor chime that utilizes local signaling to reduce alert delay. Field reports indicate that notification latency can range from 5 to 10 seconds depending on network congestion and firmware state. The 180-degree diagonal field of view is designed specifically for package detection at the base of the entry point. This unit operates within a closed software ecosystem and does not currently support native Matter integration or local RTSP streaming for third-party network video recorders.
Functional feature highlights include:
- Visual Output: 2K Video Stream
- Field of View: 180° Diagonal
- Power Options: Battery or Hardwired 16-24V AC
Due to the high bandwidth requirements of the Arlo 2K Video Doorbell, reinforcing your uplink with high-bandwidth mesh networking gear is recommended for stable operation. This device represents the high-end integration of optical sensors into doorbell bundles with chimes.
