6 Camera Arlo Pro package

[MimiBee]

We are new to security cameras and considering purchasing a 6 camera bundle as we have a large property. However I read that only 5 cameras are included on the free recordings. Does this mean I have to pay to use the 6th camera?

The 6 camera bundle is a special bundle allowing you to use all 6 cameras with the free 7 day cloud recording. Yhere is a special code that comes with the set that you must enter to get this special pricing.

Thank you so much!

I ordered and received the Arlo Pro 2 6 camera package. I don’t see any special code anywhere. Where would I find that? Just to note - our install is going to be primarily outside, and only one outdoor mount was included. My bad for not checking in that first, I guess. So I need to order more outdoor mounts before I can proceed.

You'd have to contact support on that.. Not sure if the special code is for Arlo Pro 2.. I do remember it was for Arlo Pro and maybe promotional..

There seems to be some confusion about how the 6 camera bundle knows that you can use the 6th camera for free cloud recording. Try setting up the cameras first before mounting them and see if all 6 record. If not, read these posts and try to contact Customer Support. I believe the 6 camera deal is only available in the US and on a new account.

From what I am reading in these posts is that the Base Station has a special SKU that when the account is setup, it should automatically work.

This is correct, if you experience any issues, please contact the Arlo Support Team to further investigate.

Thank you for all the input.  I set up the system, all cameras synched properly and all 6 cameras work on the plan without paying extra.  There was no special code, so it must have been the number on the base station that did the trick.  I am a new customer, so don't know if that made a difference or not.

You done good. 🙂 Yes, choosing the specific model when setting up the system is what makes this work.
