Arlo security system - arm/disarm by phone

[Bit2024]

Hi,

what limitations will the system have if no monthly subscription is activated? For instance: can we remotely arm/disarm the alarm using a phone app without any subscription?

Generally, you would have no cloud recordings not activity zones available. You would need to have cameras connected to a hub which has local recordings configured is you still want any recordings.

thank you for the quick reply.

I just want a normal security system, no cameras, just the sensors and the keypad.

in this case, without any subscription plan, would I be able to remotly operate the alarm? Arm/Disarm, check for sensor status, receive a warning if the alarm is triggered, etc...

You do not need a subscription, however to have monitoring and other features a subscription would be required. But as for the Arm/Disarm and checking the sensors you could do that without a subscription.
