When I set out to buy my first home security cameras, the Arlo Q was my obvious pick — every reviewer pointed out that it offered 7 days of free cloud storage instead of forcing you into a subscription. Heck, Arlo even advertised it on the packaging.
But on January 1st, 2024, the company’s killing that feature for many Arlo cams — and reserving the right to eliminate all cloud functionality, including email alerts, push notifications, and other “bundled services or features” for any camera that hasn’t been manufactured for four years.
