How long does Arlo retain videos in their server and how do I tell if someone is hacking my camera?

Just wanna know what I'm leaving on the internet for people to see and how long.  Would also like to know if there's a way to get login alerts from other IPs or devices.

It depends.

• If you have a secure subscription (either trial or paid), then the video is retained for 30 days. 
• If you have a CVR (continuous video recording subscription), then it is either retained for 14 or 30 days.  https://kb.arlo.com/1018425/What-is-continuous-video-recording-CVR-and-how-do-I-use-it (https://kb.arlo.com/88/What-are-the-available-Arlo-subscription-plans-and-how-much-cloud-recording-i...)
• If you have an old legacy camera (for instance a Pro 2), and no subscription, then you'd have 7 days of cloud storage.
• If you have a newer camera (introduced 2018 or later), and no subscription, then you don't have any video in the cloud.

Regrettably, no.
