If you have an Arlo camera or video doorbell, it’s about to get more expensive
Arlo is increasing the cost of its cloud storage plan for a single camera by 60 percent.
According to an email sent to single-camera users from Arlo and posted on Reddit, the change is “due to increasing costs and investment in developing innovative solutions.” The updated plans are now live on Arlo’s site, and the lowest-tier Arlo Secure plan, which includes 30 days of cloud storage and smart alerts for people, pets, packages, and vehicles, costs $7.99 monthly for one camera. According to the email, users will be automatically charged the new fee unless they change or cancel their plan, but TechHive reports that to lock in their existing rate for a year. Unfortunately, you lose smart alerts for people, pets, packages, and vehicles, the ability to add activity zones to the camera, and other software features accessible in the Arlo app.
