## What was announced

- Arlo announced Arlo Secure 7 on September 16, 2026. It is a software and subscription update to the Arlo Secure Early Warning System, not a hardware product.[^1]
- Arlo says the new features roll out to Early Warning System customers over the following month.[^1]

## New features

## Plans

- Arlo lists three Early Warning System plans: Smart Aware, Smart Secure and the new Ultra Secure.[^1]
- Ultra Secure records 24/7 on up to three cameras and keeps recordings for 30 days. Arlo says support for unlimited cameras is coming.[^1]
