Need advice in purchasing

[Ceesa2]

Hi,

I am looking to purchase a Pro 2 system. I will need 4 outdoor cameras and 2 indoor (Pro 2 or Q?) I am also getting the video doorbell. I am hoping you can help me with the following questions.

-Does the doorbell count as a camera? 

-Recommendations for indoor: Pro 2 or Q?

-I realize that the plans are for up to 5 cameras, what will I be paying for the Premier Plan with the above set up?

Thank you!

Yes.

I don't own the Q, so I have no personal experience.  Some factors to consider:

• The Q connects to your home wifi or home ethernet; the Pro-2 connects to your base.
• The Q needs a power connection, the Pro 2 can run on battery.
• The Q uses pixel-based motion detection, the Pro 2 uses PIR detection.  One consequence is that the Q can detect motion through glass.

If you only get a subscription for the doorbell, you'd pay $2.99/month in the US.  If you get a subscription for all 6 cameras, you'd pay about $11.50/month.  Current information on pricing is here:  https://kb.arlo.com/88/What-are-the-available-Arlo-subscription-plans-and-how-much-cloud-recording-i...
