- A: AnswerIf you don’t continue the subscription after the free trial your cameras will not record when triggered. You will only receive a notification that there was motion on a particular camera. Had I known this I would not have purchased these cameras.

Q: QuestionIs it compatible with Arlo Pro 2?(2 answers)
A: AnswerI bought Arlo Essential as an add-on camera to my Arlo Pro 2 system. It works just fine.Answered by ABQShopper
- A: AnswerThe Arlo Essential Spotlight camera can connect directly to your router's wifi network. Its range limitation depends on the wireless range of the router and the obstructions between their connection. If connected to an Arlo base station/SmartHub, you can place the camera maximum of 300 feet (90 meters) from the SmartHub or base station. The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction between the camera and base station. ^RM

- A: AnswerNo, my 3 month trial just ended. I’ve learned that my options are either sign up for cloud service (for I believe $3/mo for one camera or $10/mo for up to four) or use a usb memory stick for local storage in my Arlo hub. Local storage only records, but to view I have to eject & plug into my computer. No remote viewing of a recording. However I will still get alerts and can view live.

Excellent, with a problem for me
The camera and the system is excellent. The set up very easy . I did not rank with 5 star because one of the camera has problem to set up and I can find the problem even contacting Arlo support. Eventually , I will continue trying

So far great
We have this one facing our driveway. At 4:20am it went off and we captured a person trying to get into our cars. I was able to pause and take a still picture for the police. We even got a squirrel going across the driveway. We have 2 routers for WiFi. You need to make sure that your phone and what you are connecting the Arlo to is the same.

Requires Subscription for Full Function
I'm using the Arlo - Essential Spotlight Indoor/Outdoor Wireless 1080p for home security. The range is solid with my home internet. It was easy to set up the app and to adjust the direction / aim of the cameras. I am disappointed that it requires a subscription to have access to video moving forward, as the cameras no longer have their own memory cards.
