Can I Use Arlo Q Plus Like A Regular IP Camera?

doukasd — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 16:20:55 GMT

The Arlo Q Plus is always powered, always recording. Can I use it as a regular IP camera, get its stream in any way, via the local network? I would like to use it with Synology Surveilance station to centralise all my content instead of having some storage on the Arlo camera or base...

1. Is this currently supported?

2. Is this planned to be supported?

This seems to have been asked before in a similar way here, but I'm not interested in web interfaces: https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Q-Plus/Arlo-Q-Plus-Local-Web-Interface-Access/m-p/1193027#M360

Thank you

Nope, not possible. All access is through the servers. You might be able to come up with a clever way to read from the servers in close to real time but...

Thank you for the response. It's quite disappointing.
