Arlo pro video
You get all the features upfront without ever paying a subscription service, so I’ll only cover Arlo’s paid plan.Īrlo Smart is only $3/month and it stores videos for 30 days rather than 7. Willing to pay for some extra features? Normally this would compare the two devices, but Eufy doesn’t have a subscription plan. Exporting videos to your device is simple. The videos are encrypted and never leave the base station, so no WiFi is needed to record. It comes with a 16GB card (enough for 1,500 hours of footage), but you can buy a microSD card as big as 128GB. All the footage is stored locally on a microSD card. While it only records two-minute clips, it will immediately record another clip if it still senses motion after the two-minute threshold, so no skips in between. If you do this, they’ll still be uploaded to the cloud and an internet connection is needed at all times.Įufy is similar in that it records video and audio based on motion.

Unlike cameras from Nest and Ring, this free plan is fantastic for most people.Ĭonnect a drive to the Arlo Base Station via a USB port to automatically save videos. They are saved in Arlo’s cloud for 7 days and they can be saved to your device or computer for permanent storage. It can record clips for up to five minutes.

If you've just done a fresh install into Windows 10 build 20H2 then the only browser available is the new Chromium based version eliminating a possible culprit.Īgain, hopefully this is all useful to others trying to get their setups to work on a Windows PC in the browser.Both Arlo and Eufy have free plans and they’re almost identical in this regard.Īrlo Basic is the free plan and it records both video and audio whenever the camera notices motion. Take note of which browser you're opening to ensure it's the latest version. If you search for 'Edge' on your computer however, you should come back with two results or two icons, one will be the older blue coloring for the legacy version and the other will be a refreshed icon for the newer Chromium version. I also learned that if you have an older install of Windows 10 that has gone through all the updates (progressed through version 1809, 1903, 1909, 2004 etc), you will have both versions of the Edge browser available to you except in theory, the legacy version is just hidden and they remove the Icon from the start menu and task bar.

This is the current version being pushed through windows update and the same version I'm using a for library playback. In 2019, Microsoft announced plans to rebuild the browser as Chromium-based with Blink and V8 engines. The Edge browser was initially built with Microsoft's own proprietary browser engine EdgeHTML and their Chakra JavaScript engine, a version now referred to as Microsoft Edge Legacy. You can find more details about the two versions from the Wikipedia page (linked below), but I've included the short summary: Hope this is helpful for are two streams of the Microsoft Edge browser floating around but for your average person (like myself), it's not obvious which one you're using until you dig a bit deeper. Although Chrome is generally my preferred browser, if it means I need to use Edge for ‘my Arlo video playback’ then that’s fine by me. I only tried this out on the Windows Edge (Chromium) version and it works flawlessly now.

When searching in google for ‘Microsoft HEVC Video Extensions’ there were options for free codec that may also work but for the small cost, just easier to download clean from Microsoft and call it done. Quick reboot and I can now watch my 2K or 4K videos in my video library without having to download. The codec from the Microsoft store cost $1.29 CAD and installed directly from the store. Microsoft Buy HEVC Video Extensions (Microsoft Store) If you download the latest version of Microsoft Edge (Chromium) Browser (which you probably have already because of automatic windows updates) and install the Microsoft HEVC Video Extension codec (linked below), all your problems will go away. Above link doesn't lead you to an actual supported browser. Most Windows browsers doesn’t support HEVC codec or playback of these streams. Which devices are supported for HEVC 4K or 2K playback? While the intention is there to help, if you’re a Windows user you’re no further ahead than you were before. In all the forum posts I’ve seen so far, the ‘Accepted Solution’ is directing people to an Arlo knowledge base post as seen below. Getting a message that says:Įrror: This video is not able to play in your browser. I had the same issues as so many other Windows users out there when trying to playback library 2K or 4K video from Arlo Ulta, Pro 3 or Pro 4.
