On the other hand, for those of you whose ISP can somehow work with DDNS, you should still be able to access recordings remotely from the app, just that there's no preview.
Still sucks. May as well move to a different ecosystem for good.
Got the notification email on 1/1/23 with no discounts in sight.
I got 5 of these cameras that are gonna be hit with the EOL.
Definitely going to switch it out with another system.
Hope Arlo gets hit with a class action.

How can EOL cause 7 day storage to stop working but paid subscription wil work with the same exact hardware? Hoping that a class action suit follows here.
I will give up on the arlo eco system once EOL kicks in.
Are there any open source solutions out there where my camera (doesn't have to be arlo) will send from local store to the cloud, notify me (email is fine) and delete after n days?
Once my camera alerts stop coming, I will setup a Google alert with the query
Arlo pro class action suit EOL.
Anyone know how to determine what cameras I have?

You will still get a notification the camera was triggered, but have no way to see what happened on the app unless you use Live View while still in progress.
If a package was dropped on your porch, you won't know if it was UPS or Fedex because you can't view the recording easily. Or if there was motion inside your house when no one should be home, you can't check the recording quickly to know there is a clown hiding in your basement. 🔪🤡🪓
So why doesn't the Arlo EOL announcement mention this? Because the CEO of the company thinks you are so dumb you will buy new cameras from them, or pay for cloud service that was originally free.

Does it loose features without cloud recording - yes.
I used to have Arlo Pro (Now Ultra 2, an no, I'm not budging and will never pay for subscription even with Ultra 2), it does not have smart notification that differentiates between vehicle / person / animal, just simply says Motion detected.
You still get notification, and you can still do live stream.
To view local recording, in the app, go to Library tab, then at the top select the name of your basestation (default is Cloud). You will then see all the clips without taking out the USB drive from basestation, although you will not see thumbnail, just a "download" logo, listing all the activities recorded with time and duration.
To do so from remote, you need to have VPN back to your home, or setup port forwarding, if your ISP allows.
Not hard, but confusing.
