WHY HOME SECURITY MATTERS FOR SENIORS
Living alone can bring unique challenges for the elderly, from rising concerns around home break-ins, to the growing need for remote support from family members, security plays a vital role in enabling seniors to confidently remain in their own homes.

Arlo’s cameras can also be personalised to recognise familiar faces. When a known person is detected, their name can appear directly in the notification, ideal for seniors with vision challenges.
  • Know Whose Vehicle Is On The Property: Personalised vehicle alerts also provide extra reassurance, helping seniors confirm when a family member has arrived or a known car is in the driveway. Again, ideal for seniors with vision challenges.
  • Custom Detection Zones: Set up alerts for things that might be forgotten, such as a side gate left open. Keeping seniors aware without relying on memory alone.

Whether it’s an unattended stovetop or a forgotten oven, Arlo can instantly alert caregivers or family members, helping prevent accidents before they escalate.
  • Advanced Audio Detection: For seniors using an Essential Indoor 2K camera, Arlo’s Advanced Audio Detection capability notifies users when critical sounds such as screams, gunshots, dog barks, glass breaking, or Smoke/CO alarms are detected. Bringing added security to everyday tasks such as cooking & putting glassware away.

As our loved ones age, their safety and well-being becomes even more important. We want to support them with the care they deserve, while respecting their independence. Arlo’s technology adds an extra layer of reassurance without being invasive, making home security smarter and safer for older people living alone. From smart alerts to remote check-ins, Arlo understands independence without compromise.
