First time purchase questions

[Rioperro]

We are looking to buy 2 outdoor solar powered cameras and one indoor camera without solar. We also want to be able to review history. Are the outdoor cameras set up for attachments or are they separate. 
is there a package for these items and if not how do we know what we need?? There’s no one at arlo to talk to and Best Buy knows nothing.

What do you mean by "attachments"???

Recordings require an Arlo Secure subscription, so you should make sure you know if that is available in your country, and what it would cost you. US pricing would be $12.99 per month for unlimited cameras.

One option is to get

• two Essential Gen 2 cameras
• one Essential Gen 2 indoor camera
• two Essential Gen 2 Solar panels

• https://www.bestbuy.com/site/mountable-solar-panel-for-arlo-essential-outdoor-camera-and-essential-x...

The panels might not keep the cameras charged all the time - often people find they do need to take them down to charge them.  You can increase the battery life by getting the XL models of the outdoor cameras.  They cost $30 more per camera.

The Arlo shop link for the XL is here:

Best Buy is here:

At the moment, the prices look the same on BestBuy as they do on Arlo.com.
