I have 4 essential and added 3 pro 4 Cameras and I can't start a CVR plan on the pro 4 camara. Currently have security plus plan and all 7 cameras show up under there but in the CVR tab no camars are listed and the option/tab to move forward is does not work...I tried moving the 3 pro 4 camars off my current plan and they still did not show up in the CVR plan.(side-not the 4 essential camaras are connected to a hub and the 3 pro 4 are hub free cameras) What am I doing wrong. Do I need to cancel my current plan completely and start over. Any help thanks.

For CVR the cams have to be connected to a Hub and also on AC power to work. You said the pro4's are not connected to a Hub. Also CVR is an additional subscription from Secure. Have you signed up for both or is preventing you from doing so for the reasons listed?

What is continuous video recording (CVR) and how do I use it? (arlo.com)

That doesn't make sense considering the support models under CVR is Pro 4. That model neither uses a hub or AC power............ I uploaded the support camars info

The Pro4 can connect to a hub or your wifi but needs a hub connection for CVR as stated in the link I posted. The Hub and outdoor Ac cord is a separate option. Most cameras like Pro3 come with a Hub as the cams connect to that only.

Yea If figured you had a hub from your first post so remove the cams and during set up select Hub instead of wifi.

I have the same exact issue with multiple Pro 4 cams and a Pro 3 Flood.  It doesn't give me an option to select on the same 'CVR Subscription' screen you encountered.   I have 3 of 7 cameras hooked into AC power.  I do not have a hub, however, I'm under the impression that a hub is not necessary with Pro 4 cameras.

I believe a hub is required if you want CVR though.
