Last year at CES 2017, Netgear launched their Arlo Baby Monitor which allows parents to monitor their kids remotely via a camera. However if you’re looking to make your home a “smarter” one, you might be interested to learn that Netgear has released an update that will make the Arlo Baby Monitor HomeKit compatible.What this means is that if you’ve bought into Apple’s ecosystem, being HomeKit compatible means that users will be able to access the system via the Home app on their iOS devices. They will also be able to control multiple smart HomeKit compatible devices at the same time, create scenes, and more.
According to Pat Collins, senior vice president of Arlo products at Netgear, “By making Arlo Baby compatible with Homekit we have now made the all-important experience of monitoring your child even better. Whether it’s the convenience of asking Siri to quickly view your baby live, or the ability to quickly check in directly from Apple TV using the Arlo app, Arlo Baby customers now have the ultimate in convenience and flexibility. We’re thrilled to be a partner with Apple and looking forward to growing our ecosystem of HomeKit-enabled products.”
The update should already be live so if you do own the Arlo Baby Monitor, then head on over to the iTunes App Store to get your hands on the latest version of the app.
