Well after some looking into the Blink cameras it looks like we will be sticking with the Arlo idea. Apparently Blink is going to start charging $3 per camera monthly so the Arlo will be cheaper after all.

I have them and had not heard it. Where did you see this? And is it only particular models? I specifically chose these because they did not charge for cloud storage. I delete all content the same day, usually within a few minutes of occurence. (Damn squirrels...)

Well crap. Missed it by a couple of months. Here is the dilemma-- keep the two I have and pay the $6 because of the money I have invested, or abandon the Blinks and get something else, which I don't really want to do because I was not impressed with any other cameras at all.
I specifically wanted something that played well with Alexa so we could check the cameras from any room that has an Echo show (family room, computer room, and my bedroom). As far as I know, Blink is the only one that does. The alternative would be to make sure there is a cell phone/tablet/laptop/desktop in whatever room we want to check camera use, and utilize the camera app. I really like the setup we have, but damn.I think all of these newer wireless cameras all charge a fee to view your data on their servers. It's basically SaaS model.
I just have a wired system and store all of my footage locally which the app can fetch.
I'm guessing their app won't let you access footage stored on the "Blink Sync Module 2?"
The best way to avoid paying a monthly fee for a camera system is to buy cameras that work with open source NVR software and set it up yourself. NVR hosted locally that works with an app to view remotely.

I wonder how they can all of a sudden start charging for cloud storage when current customers were not told when purchasing? The item description specifically stated free cloud storage. Is it litigable, maybe by class action?

I tried the Arlo cameras and sent them back. They did not work with Alexa for me, even after hours of tech support.
Yeah, they worked OK. Just weren't what we wanted.That sucks, were they ok other than that. I hope they work with our limited internet.
