I also use Arlo cameras for my coop and run. I have them set to detect motion so there’s no lights on them unless they or something is/are moving. It’s come in handy way too many times for me not to have them now. They aren’t the cheapest option but they work great!!
do the Arlo cams require a subscription fee?
I don't pay for any, but I also just use it for live/real time. I'm not recording anything.
ah, ok- thanks! I can see myself wanting to store footage in case I capture anything really cute
I think you have the option to not have a subscription. But then you’re not going to have any ability to record, set up zones or have any way to look back at a certain picture or video. The subscription is relatively low. I use the Arlo system for my chickens and my house and for an unlimited amount of cameras it’s $15 per month. You can save videos for 60 days and send videos you record as well. I like being able to set up a recording zone so i can get an alert when a chicken or whatever Im concerned with moves and not constantly getting alerts if the wind blows and a tree moves.
I just worked though the app, I don't think there is any fees unless you want "their monitoring or "their" cloud storage. Looks like I just need Micro SD cards to record.ah, ok- thanks! I can see myself wanting to store footage in case I capture anything really cute
Not required.
No. We have memory cards in the cameras that record for us and save any video we want. It works through our wifi so we can save the video to our phone too
