That’s great. I also have an Arlo Q, as you said, works flawless (and without the need for subscription).
Apart from this ongoing problem with Ring cams, it also has another major flaw (sort of a deal breaker to some I would say). I cannot turn this off by using Geofencing feature. There is no Geofencing basically in Ring.
This is very simple to achieve in Arlo (should have stuck with Arlo only, big mistake).
Unfortunately I cannot return it (Ring) in my region, thus stuck with this stickup cam. Really disappointed.
But if this helps anyone, please get Arlo camera. It just is better and feature rich (my personal experience though).
