Good morning everyone.. I have an Arlo Essential XL camera, a BASE STATION VMB4540, and a subscription

Arlo Secure Single Camera - Annual

... I would like to buy a second ARLO 5 camera compatible with the Base Station. Will I have to make another subscription or what I have is enough to see the notifications and videos..

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Grazie anticipatamente per le risposte.


You could use local storage instead of a subscription.  IMO, not a great user experience, but many people do that.

 

Limitations include:

  • recordings only available in the app (not the web browser)
  • recordings only available from the primary account (not "friend" accounts)
  • No thumbnails - everything needs to be be downloaded to the phone to view.
  • No ability to make manual recordings or take snapshots.
  • remote access requires router setting changes that many find difficult (and don't work with some internet service providers)

You'd lose other subscription features for that camera of course - including smart notifications and activity zones.
