How to Cancel Arlo Secure: Step-by-Step Guide
What is Arlo Secure
Arlo Secure is a cloud subscription for Arlo security cameras that unlocks extended video history, AI-powered detections and priority support. Plans are offered as monthly or annual subscriptions and vary by retention period, number of cameras covered and advanced detection capabilities.
From a product perspective, common Arlo Secure tiers include entry-level cloud storage and higher tiers with person/vehicle recognition, animated previews and theft replacement on some plans. Annual bundles are sold on the Arlo AU store as single-line SKUs (for example, an annual unlimited basic plan is listed at A$129.99).
| Plan | Cameras | Monthly rate (billed annually) | Annual example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic (single camera) | Single | A$6.67/mo (billed annually) | Varies by promotion; annual SKU shown at A$129.99 for unlimited annual plan products. |
| Basic (unlimited) | Unlimited | A$10.83/mo (billed annually) | A$129.99 listed for a Basic unlimited annual plan product. |
| Plus | Unlimited | A$15.00/mo (billed annually) | Annual pricing varies by SKU and promotion. |
How cancellations typically work for Arlo Secure
Arlo Secure subscriptions are subject to automatic renewal and billing in advance; the provider’s terms state subscription fees are generally nonrefundable and there are no credits for partially used subscription periods. Access to paid features typically continues through the end of the paid billing period.
Arlo’s terms also note that cancelling a subscription will take effect on the day following the end of the current subscription period and that some annual plan SKUs are sold as final sale with no refunds. For certain plan types the company explicitly states there are no refunds or credits for partial periods.
Service-specific operational outcomes to expect: cloud recordings associated with a paid plan may be removed shortly after service termination under Arlo support guidance; some support pages reference deletion of recordings within roughly 48 hours of subscription end. This affects retained video history and any recordings saved only to the cloud.
Customer experiences with cancellation
What users report
Feedback from community forums and review sites highlights a mix of experiences. Several users report unexpected renewals, limited reminder notices before renewal and frustration when seeking refunds after renewal. Review threads include reports of disputed charges and delays in responsive resolution.
Users also report that product bundles and annual SKUs sold as "final sale" limit refund options; others describe concern after price changes that made ongoing plans harder to justify financially. Independent coverage has noted recent price increases and rebranding of some plans, which prompted some subscribers to reassess value.
Recurring issues and practical takeaways
From a financial perspective, common complaints fall into three clusters: automatic renewals that catch consumers unaware, nonrefundable language in terms, and loss of cloud-stored footage soon after cancellation. These have direct budget and data-retention consequences.
Practical takeaways gathered from user reports include confirming the exact plan purchased, noting the renewal date and retaining evidence of promotional pricing or unique redemption codes tied to annual SKUs. Many users emphasise keeping transaction records and screenshots to support any dispute.
Documentation checklist
- Plan identifier: record the exact plan name and whether it was an annual or monthly billing option.
- Purchase date: keep the original purchase date and any renewal dates shown on statements.
- Transaction ID: note card charges, invoice numbers or order IDs from the payment method.
- Promotional terms: save screenshots or text of promotional rates, coupon codes and “final sale” notices.
- Terms snapshot: keep a copy of the terms and cancellation policy that applied when you subscribed, especially passages about refunds and access after termination.
- Cloud recordings log: list important event dates for footage you may want to preserve; track any retention warnings from support pages.
- Billing statements: retain bank or card statements showing the recurring charge and dates for at least several months.
Refunds, proration and regulatory context
Under Arlo’s stated terms subscription fees are nonrefundable and the company reserves discretion over pricing changes and refunds; some annual SKUs are explicitly marked final sale. That contractual language is the primary determinant of refund eligibility for most customers.
From a regulatory perspective, subscription contract rules are under review and proposed reforms may introduce stronger cooling-off and renewal-notice obligations for subscription services. These changes would affect how refunds and renewal cancellations are treated, but the regime and timing remain in development. For now, statutory and consumer-guarantee remedies apply where a service is defective or not delivered as promised.
Billing considerations and timing
From a budgeting standpoint, annual prepaid plans convert immediate cash outflow into a year of coverage but reduce flexibility if prices rise or your needs change. Monthly plans give shorter commitment but can be costlier over a year. Recent Arlo pricing shifts have made the arithmetic material for many budgets.
Because access typically continues until the end of the current paid period, timing cancellations around the billing cycle affects whether you use or forfeit already-paid time. Arlo’s terms state cancellation takes effect after the paid period ends and do not guarantee pro rata refunds.
| Feature | Basic | Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Camera coverage | Single or unlimited variants depending on SKU | Unlimited |
| Video history | 30 days (varies by SKU) | 60 days or extended history on higher tiers |
| Advanced AI detections | Limited | Person, vehicle and package detection on Plus |
Disputes, chargebacks and escalation
From a financial-advisory stance, escalate disputes only with well organised documentation: date-stamped records, transaction IDs and contemporaneous screenshots are the strongest evidence. If a charge is unauthorised or a refund is due by law, payment providers may have dispute channels that consider documentary evidence.
Note that relying solely on promotional or verbal assurances is weaker than documentary proof. Be prepared to reference the written terms current at the time of purchase when contesting a charge.
App-store and third-party purchases: a critical distinction
If the subscription was acquired through a third-party platform, the third party’s billing and refund rules can apply. Arlo’s terms acknowledge that third-party purchases may be governed by the third party’s cancellation/refund processes. This distinction materially affects refund expectations and the appropriate dispute venue.

What to do after cancelling Arlo Secure
Immediately verify recent billing activity and keep a close watch on statements for the next one to two billing cycles. Retain all records you compiled in the documentation checklist in case a post-cancellation charge appears.
If cloud recordings are business- or safety-critical, secure alternate backups promptly because Arlo’s support guidance indicates cloud-stored footage tied to a paid plan can be removed soon after the subscription ends. Factor the cost of local storage or alternative providers into your household security budget.
Financially, reassess whether a lower-tier plan, a different provider or local storage delivers better value over a 12-month horizon. Recalculate annualised cost per camera and retention needs to decide whether to restart a subscription in future or migrate to an alternative offering.
Finally, if you consider escalation beyond the company - for example where a service was not delivered or contractual obligations were breached - use your compiled evidence to present a clear, dated record to any dispute-resolution or consumer-protection body.
