Beside above, how far can Arlo camera be from base station? You can place your Arlo camera a maximum of 300 feet (90 meters) from the base station. The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction between the camera and base station.

Also asked, can I use Arlo without subscription?

Without an Arlo Smart subscription, you can still add up to 5 cameras to your Arlo account, live stream, and receive motion and audio notifications.

Why are my Arlo cameras offline?

Your camera might go offline if metal objects or thick walls and ceilings exist between the camera and the base station. Do you have an access point or other WiFi device close to the base station? If so, your Arlo system might be experiencing WiFi congestion.
