Thought this was too good to be true as it is significantly cheaper than all other retailers. Picked up 3 cameras from the Thomastown VIC store (click and collect) with no issues. Excellent value cameras at this price and no need for base station. Currently in stock at several stores I searched in the north of Melbourne as well as Sydney.

Yeah if I had my time again I would go with a different brand to avoid the subscription.
The cameras suck without subscription.
The activity zones and AI detection (to tell the difference between a person, vehicle and animal) are must haves for me.
Oh well, they'll all die one day and I will then buy new cameras that don't require the sub.
The options available now for cameras are way better than when I bought these a few years ago.
The reolink argus 3 has this feature. No subcription needed.
@Lucille Bluth,
I'm not sure how you arrived at your total, but here's my breakdown.
You're basing your subscription calculation on 2 cameras at $150, but you're not mentioning that their website clearly states that the price remains the same ($156, not $150 according to my calculations) regardless of whether you have 2, 5, 10, 20 or more cameras.
I initially had 4 Arlo Ultras, and when I saw that the same camera mentioned above was on sale, I couldn't resist and bought 2 more.
So I decided to check their subscription pricing and was surprised when I saw the
For $13 a month for 6 cameras, I thought it was a great deal considering if ever there was a burglary (thieves destroying or taking the cameras) I would still have the footage on the cloud.I also have 5 Eufy cameras (no subscriptions) and happy with them as is. But in the same circumstances above ( burglary) it would be useless without a subscription.
Now, I can add as many cameras as I want (I'm considering getting 4 more at this great price), and it still won’t cost me more than $13 a month for 10 cameras, at least for the time being. It's essentially unlimited.
For the sake of $13 a month, it’s a piece of mind for me.
Personally I don’t need the subscription apart from our doorbell. I also often find deals on the subscription fee so rarely pay full price. For me the Arlo system works well.
Without subscription how do you manage to remote access it?
Also never heard of any deals on subscription. Please share if you got any.
CheersSame, any deals on subscription?
I can still love view my cameras inside the house so when I see motion I just login and see what’s going on. I subscribe to the doorbell and that’s it. The deals pop up randomly in the app and usually around 50-60% off for a few months or something. If you have a subscription they won’t pop up though. Understand these cameras may not be for everyone however for my needs and at this price they are worthwhile.
sometimes you can get promocode from arlo app direclty usually half price for 3 months not bad, but I do recommend eufy. I have 4 pro4 and one wireless doorbell. All are powered by solar panels and connected to an Arlo base for storage. Doorbell is usually down and not responsive. Easy to miss a call or take a long time to connect and postman already has gone. footprints in the base can be access but only main account and without shortcut so when I am out for a travel I still need to purchase the subscription.
What’s in / excluded from Arlo subscriptions? How does that practically manifest?
Parallels to cheap printers with expensive cartridges (subscriptions in this case). Eufy has proved great for me in avoiding the ongoing subscription cost of most other brands.
Have both Eufy and Arlo camera systems running alongside without subscription and Eufys system is far better. I will one day get rid of the Arlo system.
Same boat and agree, Arlo is garbage.
I got rid of my Arlo, switched to Unifi camera system.
Which Eufy Wire-Free Camera do people recommend?
Cheap, but tbh you're better of going with Eufy. At least there isn't an ongoing subscription required and not restricted to maximum 30 days recording storage. The subscription does add up over time.
For 2+ cameras, that will be $149.99 per year.
