This is bullcrap.

Long time ago arlo supplied a PC software where you may record to a HDD or SSD on a PC. They removed it so they can charge 3.99 for cloud based service? This is ridiculous and absolutely BS. I paid nearly over $100 the arlo q and I can only use android app while the web browser based software is BS. I want PC software, I didn't buy an 8TB hdd for nothing. After buying the 8TB hdd to come to arlo website and has no damn PC software to record yourself. 

Another words how else can I say? I AM A CUSTOMER I WANT PC SOFTWARE FOR MY ARLO Q.

Not sure what you're talking about. There has never been "PC software" tom allow use of a hard drive. You have always been able to download any videos from both the app and web client for local storage but there's never been anything else.

The Q camera came in 2 models.... Q and Q Plus.

The Plus model allowed POE and you could use a mem card in the supplied adapter at the camera. ( as they both did not use a base )

Never PC software as mentioned

around this time when I first bought the first Arlo q for a bar they had software because I remember recording a bar on my computer.

Hi arlouser6465,

As jguerdat and TomMac mentioned above, we only have the web portal available on your PC browser. You can refer here to the requirements with using your Arlo system: What are the minimum requirements for installing and using my Arlo system?
