Arlo’s paid subscription plans, Secure and Secure Plus, are optional, and your camera will work without either. Keep reading to learn more about Arlo’s subscription plan options and whether you’ll need to invest in a paid subscription to get the most out of your Arlo security cameras.
Arlo Secure plans help give you the ultimate security experience by boosting the features and functions offered by their extensive range of security cameras and smart doorbells.
You will need to sign up for a paid plan to make use of the following features:
* Advanced object detection
* Higher-resolution recordings (2K for Secure or 4K for Secure Plus)
* Smart notifications
* 30-day cloud storage
* Activity zones
* Extended warranty
* Priority support
* Unlimited camera plans
* Smoke alarm and CO2 alarm sound detections (only available on some cameras)
By upgrading to the Secure Plus Plan, you’ll also benefit from 4K video resolution and the new emergency response feature, which will notify the relevant emergency services at the touch of a button.
The Arlo Secure and Arlo Secure Plus plans have a monthly fee you would have to pay if you want to sign up.
The cheapest plan is $2.99 a month, which will get you a subscription to Arlo Secure for a single camera. If you don’t want to be limited to just one camera, you could subscribe to Arlo Secure for an unlimited number of cameras for $9.99 a month.
Arlo Secure Plus will get you everything the Secure plan offers, with the added bonus of 4K video footage and the Emergency Response feature. This plan costs $14.99 a month for an unlimited number of cameras.
Arlo Secure - The major benefit of the Arlo Secure plan is that it introduces cloud storage of your video streams. Recordings of up to 2K video resolution can be automatically uploaded to Arlo’s own secure cloud server, where they will be stored for up to 30 days. Once the 30-day limit is reached, new footage will overwrite the oldest on a rolling basis, so you’ll always have a full 30 days’ worth of data to review if necessary.
Streams can be captured from a single camera using the entry-level option, while the upper level of the Arlo Secure plan allows unlimited cameras to be connected to the cloud.
Arlo Secure also adds several important benefits, with key highlights including:
* Automatic detection of people, vehicles, animals, and packages using advanced artificial intelligence
* Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm detection
* Customizable alerts to your smart device for quick response to an emergency
* Intelligent motion detection in user-definable zones of coverage
The Arlo Secure plan is a great option for anyone who wants to put their home security on autopilot, without needing to worry about maintaining their own video library or dealing with low storage limitations.
Arlo Secure Plus - The Arlo Secure Plus plan takes all the benefits of Arlo Secure and adds a few upgrades, like unlimited cameras and premium 4K video cloud storage.
The package also features an emergency response option. This will notify the call center which can alert police, fire, or medical responders when an incident is detected. The system allows you to store important data such as gate security codes or pets in your account, which the Arlo Emergency Response Team will then pass on to first responders to ensure you receive prompt and unhindered assistance in an emergency.
Arlo Secure Plus is an ideal option for families with children, seniors, or other vulnerable people who need confidence that help will be on the way when it is most needed.
The standard allowance of unlimited cameras and 4K recording makes the Arlo Secure Plus plan the most efficient choice for large homes with complex security camera setups.
