I’m new to all of this so I have a question. If I buy the Arlo Pro 3 do I have to pay a monthly fee in order to save the recordings? Really don’t want to pay a monthly fee. Thanks

I have a flash drive plugged into the back of my Arlo2 base. Check for USB-A on your base station. In the back of the base.

@cabal10 I don’t have one yet. Trying to decide between the Pro2 and Pro3.

If you get the Arlo Pro 2 and have no more than 5 cameras, you don't have to pay any monthly fee and you get full functionality including cloud recording to your library. Pro 3 requires a monthly fee to get cloud recording

Yes you need to. Just go with the Pro 2s

Silly question, but I just bought the pro 3 not knowing we had to pay for storage. What size usb should I get to plug in? And will I have to delete old videos often?
