So a friend gave me their old Arlo system and I want to add some Pro 2 cameras to it. Seeing how easy it was to buy these cameras on eBay, and that I was able to register her original Pro camera to my Arlo account before she removed it from her Arlo account (that should never be allowed by the way), I realized that these cameras will have an exceptionally short life span before stolen if mounted outside. My search of community posts seems to indicate that Arlo has no mechanism in place (like say how Apple does with their stolen phones) to tag a camera unusable if reported stolen (unable to register the camera with an Arlo system). Is this really the case? If so, I'll be returning the Pro 2 cameras and just use the free original Pro camera until it is stolen. Thanks. And where I live, there is no "hiding" the camera. Any mounting location will be very conspicuous. Even if record the thief it doesn't get my device(s) back as an exceptionally low priority police report. As 2nd or later buyer of the camera I won't qualify for theft replacement policy. Thanks everyone for your comments.

Would you be able to post a link to a page on Arlo's website that mentions the registration blocking policy for devices already linked to someone else's Arlo account (even if only on newer devices)? I couldn't find anything about it on Arlo's website nor in the community posts. I don't qualify for phone support.
