Plans and Limits

I have 5 Arlo vmc3030 cameras and a base station. No subscription. Just live feed.

1. if I wanted to record activity for three of the five cameras, what would I have to do to make that happen.

2. How many more of the same model could my base Station handle? I do have a few extras I bought years ago as back up, but none of the old ones have with working!

You should already be getting 7 days of cloud storage for motion video. Are you saying you don't have that?

@StephenB - That is correct. None of the 5 cameras show any history of any events on any days.

@StephenB - After thinking further about your response, It occured to me that maybe there was some settings for base station that allows for that free 7 day recording history.

I am not an active user and usually only view live so I mucked around and found a setting that indicated my cameras were "disarmed". I guess that's what allows for the recording.

Sorry for the inconvenience but thank you for setting the prompt for looking at settings!
