History

On February 6, 2018, Netgear made the announcement that its board of directors had unanimously approved the separation of its Arlo business from Netgear. During the second quarter of 2018, Netgear's Arlo unit became a holding of Arlo Technologies, Inc. Netgear issued less than 20% of the Arlo common stock in the IPO, allowing it to retain majority control.{{Cite news|url=https://www.cnet.com/news/netgear-spins-its-arlo-smart-home-security-brand-off-as-a-public-company/|title=Netgear spins its Arlo smart home security brand off as a public company|last=Wollerton|first=Megan|date=August 3, 2018|work=CNET|access-date=August 3, 2018|publisher=CBS Interactive}}
