Hello everyone, I’m looking to get some help here. I have an arlo essential camera linked to the app, I purchased a cloud video saving subscription from the arlo website. When I go to access that feature on the app it tells me that I have found a premium feature. It then tells me that I need to go to arlos website and purchase a plan. However when I’m on the website and I hit view camera it automatically takes me to the app and literally shows me the feed of my camera. Essentially the app is telling me to add the camera to my account on the website and the website is not allowing me to do so and takes me right back to the app. I am at a loss. Anyone know what I can do ?

You can only manage your camera subscription using the arlo website login site my.arlo.com, when logged in go to settings/subscription to manage which camera gets the subscription.

HI @Ttpp 

 

I'm not seeing any subscription associated with your account. Can you sign in and check your Account subscription status here: https://my.arlo.com/#/login

This is borderline fraud. The "feed" is disabled for you to buy subscription. Without purchased subscription that message will not go away. This information is not communicated to buyers at time of purchase or mentioned on the package.

"Feed" on the app does not work anymore. It shows this screen:

 

"We found a premium feature.

Visit Arlo on the web to manage plans and devices."

 

When I purchase the unit, I did not know that this function will be disabled after a month. Nowhere on the package mentions this.

Cloud recordings require an Arlo Secure subscription after the trial expires. Did you purchase this device from the Arlo shop with original packaging?

Bought it from best buys. 

 

Returning the device is not an issue. All the the work I did. and time wasted to purchase and install it is the issue.

 

Why is this information NOT clearly communicated to potential buyers?

The sleeve of the packaging has the Arlo Smart Trial included label and description of features. There is also a disclaimer at the bottom with additional information. I have reset your trial period and you can remove and re-onboard your camera to receive the extended trial benefits.

I have disconnected and trashed the device. I don't want my data transmitted to cloud service of a company like yours who is not upfront with the customers and instead of customer service, hides behind "disclaimer."

 

GOOD BY!
