Starting January 1, 2023, Arlo is implementing an EOL policy for its products and services, with the Generation 3 (VMC3030) and Pro (VMC4030) cameras being affected on April 1, 2023. These cameras were released in 2014 and 2016, respectively. The EOL of the Generation 3 (VMC3030) and Pro (VMC4030) cameras means that certain features of, and support for, these cameras will become unavailable, including 7-day cloud storage, firmware updates, and email notifications.

That's why cloud storage is a risk unless you subscribe for its usage.

With local storage in the hub and sd card storage is a safer bet

Not necessarily true, look at Eufy (by Anker).

Local “dumb” systems lack AI and package detection that many users rely upon.

Those ARLO cameras mentioned are a few years old so naturally there'll be no support in certain areas. This even happens to products like hp and Win OS etc.

Homebase 3 has AI. Earlier homebases have no AI support for some cameras

And not all EUFY cameras come with all AI features



You using the new video dual camera for package detection? It comes with Delivery Guard and notifies you when a package arrives, no?

Missed the memo? Eufy is a privacy nightmare.


By Local “dumb" systems I meant the DIY kits, entirely unrelated to Eufy.

To me this is an old issue (it was raised in another thread) and Eufy has taken steps to address some of the security issues. Read below


FYI I have 9x cameras and a video doorbell by EUFY
