    You can just view the recording at home. If you went outside using the cellular data, the recording was not available.

    The only complaint I have is it did not connect at first with Apple homekit. Uninstalled and even called tech support. Finally figured it out on my own.

    I purchased this from the advice of a store employee to connect the ARLO essentials cameras. After receiving the item and calling ARLO support I found out that they will not work. ARLO claims that a firmware update will at some point be released to allow the essentials camera to operate. As of now no release date has been announced.

    It consistently dropped cameras, and the private WiFi was so weak that cameras that were about 80 feet away would only show/record half the actual screen at best, and often nothing distinguishable. I bought this in November, 2023, and in March, 2024 it started flashing an orange light and I could not connect to it. I did a factory reset, and it was up for about a day before the orange flashing light issue came back. So I had to move all my cameras to WiFi and stop using the hub. What a waste of money.

    Slow, clunky and no support if you aren't an active subscriber. Not able to set up local video storage and the support is completely missing. I follow the horribly written instructions and nothing happens. Now I am experiencing why reputable review sites have stopped recommending Arlo.

    The Arlo SmartHub arrived very fast in the mail. It is listed for a really good price. I ended up buying it from Best Buy since Arlo did not have any in stock.

    Needed to upgrade and older base station to enable local storage for newest Arlo cameras. No complaints, just difficult to find in stock.
