Cameras with magnetic mount

[stribor45]

Beside Arlo Pro 2 that has round magnetic mount is there any other camera that can use this very same mount type?

Just the original Pro and the very first Arlo HD camera (which uses four CR123 batteries). Nothing that is currently sold.

All the currently sold cameras require a subscription for cloud storage.

If you want magnetic mounts, you'll need to get the Pro 3/4/5 or Ultras (and NOT get the total security mount or the XL models).   I don't think these mounts are significantly more intrusive than the old style.  They are thicker, but not significantly wider.

The Essential Gen 2 cameras have no magnetic mount option, and come with a rather small mount.  It is quite stiff, and some here have struggled with it.

All of these support standard screw-mounts (as long as you don't get the total security mount).  The XL models also support standard screw mounts.  So there are a lot of mounting choices if you are ok with screw-mounts.

If you order a camera bundle, you will end up with a mix of mounts (one per camera, but not all magnetic).
