Question 1

What happens when the "free trial" subscription ends?  do i lose features??  if so, what features?  and can i just put a micro sd in and be fine??

Accepted Answer

DON'T ACTIVATE THE TRIAL or you will lose the ability to record when it ends!
I added an Arlo Ultra camera to my existing setup (3 Pro cameras and Base VMB4500). Everything worked great for 2 or 3 months. It was recording on my hub and I could play all 4 cameras back on my iPad or iPhone using the Arlo App. Then I got curious and activated the "Free Trial" on the Ultra. I Didn't get enough benefits to continue with the subscription, so I let it lapse. That is when my Arlo Ultra stopped recording to my local storage and no matter what I tried, I cannot get it back to the way it worked before initiating the trial. At least it hasn't killed my older cameras. But this is an evil business model.

Question 2

Arlo Ultra 2 is dual channel between 2.4G and 5G?

Accepted Answer

The Arlo Ultra 2 has a dual-band WiFi. It can switch between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi, depending on how far it is from the Arlo SmartHub or base station. This allows for optimized camera performance by balancing connectivity range and bandwidth.

Question 3

what's inside the box？ How many charge cables in the box? Whats the length?

Accepted Answer

The Arlo Ultra 2 2-camera kit comes with the following:
- 2 Arlo Ultra 2 Cameras

You can purchase an extra 8 ft Indoor Magnetic Cable (VMA5000C) or a 25 ft Outdoor Magnetic Charging Cable (VMA5600C).

Question 4

I'm planning to use this on my mobile van conversion. Could I still see the cameras if I don't have internet?

Accepted Answer

No (must have internet connection) - in my test as of  11/14/2020 (Arlo iPhone app version 2.21; Camera: firmware: 1.070.50.6_231_6e7e184; hardware: H10; base ultra 2: firmware: 1.16.3.4_744_c289687; hardware: VMB5000r5; ). Without internet connection to base VMB5000 my Arlo App in iPhone cannot see cameras and cannot access local storage (micro SDXC card) via local wifi.
