Replacement for OG Arlo Pro camera

I have an original Arlo Pro camera that is no longer working. The other 3 cameras are fine--it was a bundle that I purchased at Costco. It comes with a base but we do NOT pay a monthly subscription. I cannot fit

Your base should be a VMB4xxx - check the bottom of the base to be sure. If so, you can use any of the new cameras but you'd need to purchase a single camera plan for cloud recordings once the trial subscription runs out. It's possible that you can find a used Pro or Pro 2 camera instead but they won't be new and the original owner needs to have removed the camera from his account.

Thank you for the information. I truly appreciate it.

If I get the Essential Camera and add it to my base, am I able to see the recordings on my phone, as I do with the Arlo Pro cameras?

It doesn't matter whether the camera is added to the base, or connected directly to your home wifi.

Either way you'll need a subscription to see the recordings. You will get 30 days of storage - so more retention than the free 7-day recordings you get with the Pro.
