Can someone tell me why one of my cameras is saying I need a subscription to activate it? This is my second set of cameras and they all worked before, now only 1 is saying I have to purchase a subscription.  These things aren't cheap and kinda makes me mad .

Pro 4 cameras need a subscription for cloud storage, activity zones (when on battery/solar power) and smart notifications.  Check all the cameras, and see if the trial subscriptions expired.

Something wrong here, you should be able to livestream the camera.

 

I'm tagging the mods ( @JamesC , @BrookeN , @ShayneS ) to call their attention to your issue.

Have you removed all activity zones on that camera? That may clear the message.
