The "Subscribe Now" button for CVR should now be working. If the "Subscribe Now" button is still not working, please let us know.

 

And to change/manage your CVR camera, you will need to go to Settings > Subscriptions > CVR Plan > Change Plan and then select the desired camera for CVR and complete the subscription flow.

Yes, same problem here. The CVR subscription page correctly lists my Pro 2 cameras, but I can't select them to subscribe. I opened a ticket with Arlo yesterday, but not resolution yet.

The Arlo development team is currently investigating this issue. We will provide an update as soon as we have more information to share with the community.

So Arlo just updated their website and app to move the "Manage Camera Status" from settings to the subscription section to "Manage Cameras" but in the process they removed the option to add and remove camera's to the CVR, section. Bring back that "Manage Camera Status" option so we can freely move our cameras into CVR or atleast fix it so we can edit cameras in the CVR plan we are already paying for!

 

Even the help article is not updated and they think you still have that option to go to "Manage Camera Status", when it doesn't exist: https://kb.arlo.com/1018425/What-is-continuous-video-recording-CVR-and-how-do-I-use-it

Use and manage CVR

When you have a CVR subscription, you can access 14 or 30 days of continuous video recording, depending on what subscription you have. You can also change which camera records using the CVR feature. (FALSE)

 

To change which camera uses CVR:

  1. Launch the Arlo app or log in to my.arlo.com.
  2. Tap or click Settings > Subscription > Manage Camera Status.
  3. Tap or click and hold the grabber icon on the right side of the camera name.
  4. Move the camera to Move camera here.
  5. Select a different camera.
  6. Move the camera to CVR Move a CVR eligible camera here."

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    If you click "Manage Cameras" which is the new "Manage Camera Status" option, you only have the option to activate and deactive Arlo Camera's within the plan, you DO NOT have an option to drag and drop into CVR anymore, look at the screenshots below. FIX THIS!

     

    I have all arlo pro 2 and 3 and i cant even remove the one camera that is in the CVR plan now out of the two I pay for. I called arlo support and 45 minutes later, the solution they gave was to upgrade to the new CVR plan for $9.99. That is NOT a solution because I am playing $248 for 20 cameras and 2 CVR plans and if i upgrade the CVR plan to $9.99 each month then i would be paying $240 a year just for two CVR plans PLUS the arlo elite plan. I do not know why Arlo makes it SO difficult to edit your plan, you should have an option to edit CVR or cancel CVR without editting anything else. Every time arlo changes something with the subscription plan, they always mess something up! Fix this!

    Look at the screenshots below to show how the "Manage Camera Status" is no longer available and how the option to drag and drop into CVR under Manage Cameras isnt even an option:

I canceled my Arlo smart subscription and subscribed again with the car plan and the Arlo smart at the same time. Apparently Arlo won’t allow different billing cycles

I have had the same issue since OCTOBER!  Still no fix on this issue.  Just curious.  I am using Pro 2 cameras.  I was told that this was an issue with Pro 2 cameras only.  If that is the case, I may purchase a more expensive camera to make this work.  I MUST have this feature or we be forced to use something else.

I have been waiting since October for a fix.  Is this with all cameras or just Pro 2?

Yes, been having the same issue with Arlo support - they have been working on this for me for nearly two months, what is the IT support doing?  I can't even select the CVR plan in the subscription section.  So sad.

The development team deployed an update in regards to this issue. You should be able to purchase the CVR plan and/or choose which Arlo camera to have your CVR plan as. If you are still experiencing the issue, please let us know and provide a screenshot of the error you're receiving.

No.  Still not working.  The button to upgrade doesn't work just like before.  This is after trying the app, trying to update the app, and trying on three different computers (Win 10 Pro and Win 8 Pro) with Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera, and Edge.  All cases still doesn't work.  I have started rolling out Google Nest cameras that do record instead of purchasing more Arlos, so this is less of an issue as I am now using a different brand of camera.
