[dongski]

I want to setup arlo both in Singapore n Philippines? Here are my questions..

1. Can i use single account to manage both locations?
2. I wantcto subscribe the monthly plans.. how is the charging? Per location cost or per camera cost not dependent on the location?
3. Please advise a better way in managing both location.

Appreciate any advise or suggestion.

Can't answer all the questions but need to ask - how many cameras are you considering?  If you keep the total number to 5 or less, you can use one account.  If you'll have more than 5 cameras you can use one account to manage both locations if 1) you upgrade the plan to support >5 cameras or 2) use two accounts using different email addresses and Grant Access on one to the other account's email address.

I plan to manage 7 cameras (2 in singapore and 5 in philippines) and also want to subscribe to the plans because i want continous recording in the philippines. Additional questions, 1) can the i setup the based in singapore and bring it to philippines and just plug it in the internet router? Or do i need to setup the based in Philippines? 2) do you have arlo setup already running in philippines? Is there a preference or bandwidth requirement as well? Thanks for your support. Appreciate it. Actually i already purchase all the devices before asking this question 🙂

I'm not in either location (I'm in the US) so I can't be absolutely sure about the answers. Generally, if you can purchase the appropriate plan in your location you should be fine. Also generally, setting the system up in one location and moving it to another should work. There's always the possibility that something will go wrong and you'll have to figure it out but I think you'll have a good chance of success. Just make sure that your Internet connection is reliable and supports at least 1Mbs upload speeds. You may also want to consider an uninterruptible power supply (UPS or battery backup) for your modem, router and Arlo equipment to help ensure that reliability. A 750VA UPS should suffice for many hours so you don't have to spend a lot of money.
