Bought a 2 pack of Arlo essential spotlight wireless outdoor cameras.Up and running.Bummed out can't continuously record without CRV subscription..but anyway.Kept getting prompts to get Arlo secure subscription so can capture motion snapshots.Bought subscription then under subscriptions in my account it says trial.Only just noticed on box as well.So now Ive paid for a month subscription and I'm already on a 3 month free trial??? App shouldn't let payment go through until yr free trials up.. Pretty dodgy in my eyes..

Just to clarify this - Essential Outdoor cameras don't support continuous recording at all, so no need to consider getting a CVR subscription.

Note also that cameras that do support CVR can only record continuously when connected to AC power.
