To open the Arlo Ultra Camera, press the Button on the bottom, and pull Camera Face (Camera Body) away from the Camera Enclosure

Set the Camera Enclosure to the side. It will not be needed for the rest of the Teardown

Remove the Battery from the Camera Body by gently pulling the Battery away from the Camera Body

The Battery Capacity is 4800mAh

To remove the Camera Face Plate from the Camera Body, remove the four PH00 screws in the Battery Compartment Area that secure the Camera Face Plate to the Camera Body

Use the Spudger Tool to pop off the Camera Faceplate

With the camera face plate removed, we get our first look at some of the components that make up the Arlo Ultra Security Camera

Spot Light LEDs (400 lumens)

Infrared Light LEDS

Vesper VM1010 Wake-On-Sound MEMS Microphone

TDK ICS-41350 Microphone

Left Side, Light Detector. Right Side, Multi-Color LED

PYD1548/7660 Excelites Tech Low Power Motion PIR Sensors

Speaker / Siren - NG521-0015-01B18100010711

With the Camera Face Plate removed, use the Spudger Tool to pry the Camera Assembly away from the Camera Body

Once the Camera Assembly comes loose from the Camera Body, use the Spudger Tool to pry against the two plastic tabs on the bottom of the Camera Assembly that hold the Camera Assembly to the Camera Body PCB (Main PCB)

Pull the Camera Assembly away from the Assembly Body

The Camera Assembly is held in place by Zero Insertion Force Connectors to the Main PCB in the Camera Body

With the Spudger Tool, pry off the cable to the Speaker / Siren from the Speaker Connector

With the Spudger Tool, release the Flex Cables attached to the Small PCB on the back of the Camera Assembly

With the Flex Cables released from the Small PCB on the back of the Camera Assembly, remove the two PH00 screws that hold the Metal Bracket in place

Use the Spudger Tool to pop off the Metal Bracket

With the Spudger Tool, pry out the Small PCB on the back of the Camera Assembly

Now that the Small PCB has been removed, we can review the components on the PCB. Some parts could not be crossed referenced. Please leave a comment if you happen to know a part or parts.

Remove the Large EMI / Heatsink Shield from the back of the Camera Assembly by removing the two PH00 Screws

Pry off the Large EMI / Heatsink Shield from the Camera Assemble using the Spudger Tool

With the Large EMI / Heatsink Shield removed, we can now remove the Flex PCB that contains the Microphones, Light Detector, Multi-Color LED and PIR Sensor

Use a pair of Long Needle Nose Pliers to pull the Metal Shield Tape from the backside of the Camera Assemble Body.

From the frontside of the Camera Assembly Body, pull the Metal Shielding Tape through the hole to the backside of the Camera Assembly Body

Use the Spudger Tool to gently pry out the Flex PCB. The Flex PCB is held in place by double stick foam tape

The Speaker / Siren can also be removed after the Metal Shield Tape has been removed by pulling the speaker cable through the hole between the backside and frontside of the Camera Assembly Body that was occupied by the Metal Shield Tape

After removing the the Flex PCB, remove the Metal Shield Tape from the Flex PCB

With the Metal Shield Tape removed and the Foam Tape scraped off, the components on Flex PCB can be reviewed

Remove the Main PCB from the Camera Body by gently prying it out using the Spudger Tool

The Main PCB has EMI / Heatsink Shielding on the frontside and backside

The Small EMI/Heatsink Shield is not soldered on and can be easily removed with a Dental Pick Tool

Use the Dental Pick Tool to pry up the sides of the EMI/Heatsink Shield

Once the EMI/Heatsink Shield has been loosen, it can easily be pulled off the rest of the way
