Use a PC (my.arlo.com).

 

But first check that you are in a location where Arlo offers subscriptions.  There is a list here:

I noticed my country is not in the listing of countries you offer subscription however am disappointed that I purchase a product without knowing it had subscription restrictions. Am in Africa precisely Liberia.

If you have a VPN, you can try creating a new account with the VPN terminating in a country where Arlo offers subscriptions.  You also would need a credit card with a billing address in that country (or use Apple Pay or PayPal if you use a country where Arlo accepts those).

Once the account is created, disconnect the VPN, as you can't use it when the cameras (or base) are added to your account.

 

Note this isn't something I've ever needed to do, but some users have reported success doing this over the years.
