Keeping an Eye on Spring: Arlo Wants to Be Your Security Sidekick

Ah, spring. The season of budding flowers, longer days, and—let’s be honest—pollen that’s plotting your demise. While you’re stocking up on allergy meds (Costco’s generic versions are basically a public service at this point), it’s also the time of year when everyone starts thinking about sprucing things up, especially outdoors. And by “sprucing up,” we mean making sure your yard isn’t doubling as the neighborhood’s raccoon rave spot or the unofficial shortcut for door-to-door salespeople. If you’re in the mood to reclaim your turf—and make sure your packages aren’t doing a disappearing act—Arlo has a few gadgets worth checking out.
