Arlo Essential Indoor Camera (VMC2040-100NAR)

I have a pre-existing Arlo system with three Pro3 cameras, a doorbell, and a VMB4540 SmartHub, and I wanted to add a camera to keep an eye on our dog when he's left alone in the house. The wired Essential Indoor camera was the camera I wanted to add. Following are that things that I couldn't find answers to on the Arlo web site. 1. The USB cord (comes with a wall plug adaptor) that comes with the camera is 6 ft long. 2. The Essential Indoor camera does work seamlessly with the VMB4540 SmartHub. Setup using my phone and the Arlo app was driven by prompts that were easy to follow. 3. I couldn't find anything on the web site that stated that the Essential Indoor camera would work the same as my other cameras with the SmartHub without an Arlo Secure subscription. That is, the Essential Indoor camera records to the SmartHub based on motion detection, just like the other cameras. Note that I do not subscribe to Arlo Secure, so if I want to review any saved videos I have to remove the USB thumb drive from the SmartHub and look at saved videos on my computer. That's ok, because I only really want to be able to monitor the dog. One other thing that I will add is that during setup there is a prompt to update the firmware. I'm not sure if this relates to the SmartHub or the camera. I had to retry the update about 20 times before it finally took. I looked at the update titles and they were all the same filename, so it wasn't successive updates. It just didn't seem to take. I will note that when it finally went through I had moved my phone closer to the SmartHub. I don't know if that mattered because after moving closer it still required a couple of tries before it took. Overall, I'm happy with the camera and other than the glitchy firmware update setup was easy.
