How to delete your Arlo account

Canceling your Arlo subscription means you'll no longer have to make monthly payments, but it won't delete all your account information. To do that, you'll need to delete your account. Keep in mind that deleting your account will permanently erase your account data (such as settings and recordings), and you won't have the option to restart your account.

Step 1: Go to the official Arlo website.

Step 2: Go to Settings, then enter the Privacy Center.

Step 3: Navigate to your Account tab. Depending on your account, this might be in the Data Privacy submenu.

Step 4: Select Delete Arlo Account, then confirm your selection by selecting Permanently Delete Arlo Account.

Step 5: Wrap up the process by following any pop-up instructions.

Step 6: With that done, you'll get one last email from Arlo confirming the deletion.

Today, the best video doorbells include the Google Nest Doorbell, Ring Video Doorbell, and Wyze Video Doorbell v2, among others.

How long does a Ring Video Doorbell battery last?

A number of Ring’s Video Doorbell models are wireless, including the standard 2020 model, as well as Doorbell 4 and Doorbell Battery Plus. These smart doorbells use battery packs that you periodically remove and charge. The advantage is that you don’t have to worry about wiring projects and can easily place the Doorbell in an optimal position to get the best view of your porch in a do-it-yourself (DIY) project.

But since those battery packs require a bit more maintenance (you’ll get alerts when they need recharging), buyers often want to know just how often they’ll be expected to recharge them and if any long-term replacement costs are involved. Here’s what you should know.
