I purchased a subscription but it says I need to add devices to my account. I have four cameras set up to my account.

Did you purchase a single or multiple camera subscription?

 

 If you login to your account using the my.arlo.com with a browser and go to settings, can you manage your subscription?

Also, are you using a friend account?

The subscription we showed said it accommodates multiple cameras, but it's not showing any as active under our subscription not gives us an option to "active" cameras.

I was the first person to set up an account linked to these cameras, the subscription was purchased under an "invited/friend" account.

The subscription needs to be purchased under the primary account. 

 

So you'll either need to

  1. cancel, and then re-subscribe in the correct account.
  2. remove the camera(s) from the current account and re-onboard them to the account with the subscription.

Ours only added one of the two cameras and it will not record. Absolutely ridiculous. Can’t get anyone on the phone to help.

This is helpful as we did this, it showed 2 of 2 on subscription however only one recorded still.

Seems to be the cart before the horse, why would you be allowed to purchase a subscription for an account without devices. You can’t get support with a subscription without devices.

You can’t even transfer, now you have lost your money and have to purchase another subscription for the account that has the devices. Even with a subscription the cameras still don’t work?

Can you make a manual recording while livestreaming the camera that isn't recording?
