andysound,

I do not have a release date yet for the UK. Keep an eye on arlo.com for an availability announcement in the future.

Is there any update on the UK release? The website has said coming soon since 2019.

It’s available now through amazon however why is it so expensive? In US it’s US$ 149 however U.K. price is GBP179 at least GBP60 more based on exchange rate.

@lennysc14  It won't help much, but it will decrease the difference in price you are seeing. The US price is exclusive of Sales & Use Tax (the UK version of VAT) which differs by city and state. In NYC for example you need to add 8.875% to the price to account for this.

In the UK the price is inclusive of VAT and import duties. Import duties, I believe, will be between 2.5% and 10% based on the current EU tariff tables. VAT at 20% is charged on the price including import duties.

The volatility of the USD > GBP exchange probably isn't helping either!
