Your ‘Home Alone’ away from home.

Introducing a cinematic home security experience: the Arlo Pro4.

In the Christmas classic, Home Alone, little Kevin McAllister is left behind when his family go away on vacation — and he fights off the bumbling thieves who try to invade his home in a series of hilarious booby traps and ingenious pranks.

In one scene, Kevin leaves a downstairs door open and attaches a steam iron to a pull-cord light switch. When pulled, the switch drops a hot iron on to the face of Marv, the dim-witted home invader, who collapses with iron marks burned into his face. Chortle!

In another, Kevin uses an electric barbecue charcoal starter to heat up the doorknob, searing the McAllister monogram into the palm of Marv’s squat compadre, Harry. Lols!

 It may not be a white Christmas coming up, but Easter is the traditional family getaway time in Australia — making your home a prime target for Marvs and Harrys when you’re not there.

You could booby trap your house with face-smashing paint tins to deter would-be robbers, or you could stay on the right side of the law and try something even more effective.

Introducing the Arlo Pro4 2K Wire-free Spotlight Camera. It sets up in minutes, connects to your home Wi-Fi and helps you see a clearer picture of your home, with a 160o wide angle of vision, both day and night. What’s more, The Arlo gives you 30 days of crystal-clear, colour video playback that’s so good, your home becomes a mini-movie set, with higher resolution than a 90s classic film!

Two-way audio also lets you communicate with anybody in range via your phone, so you can speak to the delivery guy, or shout a warning at potential break-ins, just like Kevin using the old-style movie-within-a-movie Angels with Filthy Souls to scare off the bad guys.

“I’m gonna give you to the count of ten, to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts full of lead!”

 If that’s not enough, you can also trigger the built-in smart siren automatically or manually, from the Arlo app, and scare the daylights out of them.

The Arlo Pro4 allows 24/7 surveillance of your property with 2K vision and HDR (High Dynamic Range) that allows you to see details in both shadows and highlights — even at night. That means any potential intruders are completely exposed and identifiable.

A complete, connected home security system with no cords or wiring and a 6-month battery life, the cameras are weather-resistant, simple to install and adjust with magnetic mounts, and easy to charge with a magnetic charging cable for continuous power, or a solar panel to charge the battery with sunlight.

You’re totally in control with the Arlo Pro4, receiving alerts on Apple Watch or controlling the system with Amazon Alexa (display your view on Echo Show) or Google Home Hub integration.

But you can buy a Quad Pack of ArloPro4 cameras now — and pay them off over 1 or 2 years, with Gimmie. That means you can immediately start practising your witty banter over the 2-way audio:

“Don’t you know how to knock, phlegm-wad?”
