https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Smart/Subscription-plans-vs-smart-plans/m-p/1684726#M2093 Hello , to answer your question if you have to make two separate purchases, the answer is no! getting the 9.99 smart premier gives you the ability to have up to ten cameras on one hub and you get access to arlo smart with cloud activity zones, advanced dection (ppl,animals, cars,packages) e911 and rich notifications. There is no additional monthy purchase needed to have smart in play as it comes in the easy package of 9.99! Hope this answered your questions.

Will getting the 9.99 smart premier allow that or will I have to get the 9.99 subscription plan to be able to activate more than 5 cameras and then add a smart plan on top of that for custom activity zones?
