This morning I noted 6 of my 8 camera had a warning message. “Ac power has been disconnected from your Arlo device. Activity zone are currently disable” one of these 6 camera its connected to a solar ac charger I bough from arlo. After deleting all activity zone I did a live view on all 6 and noted they is no audio when live viewing i have not check local recorded clip. Problem my be because as of yesterday my subscription expired. But i should be able to get audio when I’m viewing my camera. I am very disappointed with Arlo I should had never spent 2k plus on arlo system. Not to mention all the problems I had since I bought it

The solar charger is what it says, a charger. It does not provide the permanent "mains" power that you need for some features. Zones, for example, require either permanent power or a subscription.

@michaelkenward ok I’m confuse now. You are saying that I need permanent power to have activity zone ? This is not true because I hade it foe a year never connected to a Main power. It does require a subscription tho. How about all my cloud clips gone and I have not access to cloud record at all. And not audio on 6 of my camera while two of them have audio when I live view them. My cousin has the arlo 2 and he get 7 days free cloud record not at 4k but decent video quality. I get none

Your messages are confusing. It is hard to understand what your problem it.

 

You said:

 


Problem m[a]y be because as of yesterday my subscription expired.

 

That will kill your activity zones.

 

Check this:

 

What are activity zones and how do I create them?

 

Read the section What you need.

 

  • Either of the following
    • An Arlo Smart subscription to use activity zones with wire-free camera(s)
      Note: You must subscribe to Arlo Smart to use activity zones without plugging in your wire-free camera.
    • A connection to a continuous power source
      Note: If you don’t subscribe to Arlo Smart, you can still create activity zones, but your camera must be connected to continuous power to use them.

I will put it simple on 6 of my 8 camera I have not audio when I do a live view. I already removed all activity zone on all my camera. And third problem is not access to cloud record not even 3 day free of cloud record like arlo pro 1-2
