- Do I need a subscription to use it?
- No for live view, motion alerts and two-way audio. Person, package and vehicle detection and cloud video history need an Arlo Secure plan.
- How long does the battery last?
- Arlo rates it for months on a charge with light activity. Heavy motion recording shortens that a lot, so busy areas may need more frequent charging.
- Does it work without a hub?
- Yes. It connects directly to Wi-Fi, so no base station is required.
- Can it tell people from animals?
- Yes, but only with an Arlo Secure plan. Without one you get standard motion alerts.
- Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?
- Yes. You can view the feed on compatible smart displays and use voice commands.
- Is it fully wireless?
- Yes. It runs on a rechargeable battery and connects over Wi-Fi, so no power cable is needed.
