Hello, I have 4 AVD2001 Arlo Doorbells over 3 locations. How do I put them all on one account so I can see the library for all 4 cameras?

Option 1: remove the doorbells from the accounts you don't want to use, and re-add them to the account you want.

 

Advantages:

  • subscription price will be lower, because you can use a single multi-camera subscription
  • you get full control over all cameras from the app

Disadvantages

  • You can't use geofencing, since the cameras are in very different locations.
  • You have to use one credit card for all locations

 

Option 2: set up friend access, so you can view all cameras from any account.  https://kb.arlo.com/000039122/How-do-I-add-friends-to-my-Arlo-account

 

Advantages

  • Geofencing is possible
  • Different sites can use different credit cards

Disadvantages

  • Subscription cost will be higher
  • There are some controls that will still require you to log into the primary account.

If these are properties where someone else (a tenant) should have full control, or where the tenant is paying the bill, then option 2 is likely what you want.
