Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera review
Buyers who want the sharpest zoom and widest field of view in this line-up and are happy to pay for a premium subscription tier.
By Tom Calder · Updated 24 July 2026 · Price checked against our tracker
The sharpest optics here on paper — 2K HDR, a wide 160° field of view and genuine 12x zoom — with a manufacturer-claimed 6-8 months' battery life in low-power mode. It's also the most expensive single camera in this comparison, and most of what makes it useful day-to-day sits behind an Arlo Secure subscription once the 30-day trial ends.
£220 is Arlo's own quoted UK RRP for a single camera as of Jul 2026. Multi-packs bring the per-camera cost down — £430 for a two-pack, £570 for a three-pack.
