However, &nbsp;each time I access my essential spotlight camera, there a dialog box with texts prompting me to purchase a monthly subscription. This seem like unfair business practice to me. I won’t buy any new Arlo products until the Arlo app is updated with a correction to allow this feature to work as it did previously before the update.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 13 Aug 2024 02:40:41 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Wire-Free-Cameras/Essential-Spotlight-Camera/m-p/2413226#M11447 dlburrell43 2024-08-13T02:40:41Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Wire-Free-Cameras/Essential-Spotlight-Camera/m-p/2413265#M11448 <P>Disregard my previous post. &nbsp;Direct storage access does work with the latest Arlo app update.
