Does the Arlo Pro record without a subscription?

It can record to a local storage device such as a base station or SD card, but cloud recording and smart alerts need an Arlo plan. Check which features work without one before buying.

How long does the battery last?

Arlo rates it for months of use, but heavy motion recording drains it much faster. Expect to recharge more often in busy areas.

Is it fully wireless?

Yes. It runs on a rechargeable battery and connects over Wi-Fi, so no power cable is needed. You do need to bring it inside to recharge.

Can it be used indoors?

It is built for outdoor use but works indoors too. The spotlight and siren are handy for entryways and garages.

Does it work with Alexa and Google Home?

Yes, it supports voice assistants for live viewing on compatible smart displays. Full controls stay in the Arlo app.

The single-camera kit includes the camera, battery, mounting hardware and a charging cable. A base station is not included unless the bundle lists one.
