And now, using the Arlo Skill for Alexa, you can ask Alexa to view the live feed or recorded video from an Arlo camera on the screen of the new Amazon Echo Show™. With a simple voice command you can now ask Alexa to show, the front door, back yard, the driveway, and anywhere else an Arlo camera has been placed.
