Why is this not stated here on your website?  Wasting my time and money and your reputation! This makes a change to other security camera system far more appealing!

Not my website, as I don't work for Arlo.  This is a user-to-user forum.

FWIW, I agree they should release new models worldwide, and not piecemeal.

I bought this camera a few weeks ago to add to my indoor system.  I have two other cameras, one outside with the solar panel and one wired inside.  I have had them for at least 5 years and have had great success with them using the 7 day recordings.  Now with this new camera I was able to record for the first 7 days and now there is no option without subscribing for more cloud space.  A big ripoff if you ask me.  I only have 3 cameras so what's the deal.  To have a better camera you are making your customers pay to store even one day.  I think I will be looking for a different system.  Very disappointed in the new policy.  Is there a way to record without the cloud?

Is the CVR still not supported? I bought this for saving cloud video feed and turns out I found it's useless now and this product is not cheap at all.

Kazuki98,

While we do plan to support CVR in the near future, this feature is not yet available for 2nd generation cameras. Stay tuned here on the community and arlo.com for an announcement once this feature is made available.

"Near future"?

It's been nearly a year! What a joke Arlo is.
