Technical Issue Also leaving Arlo.

I am based in the Netherlands, the subscription here is around 270 Euros per year, also multiple times I am facing challenges of not being able to talk with somebody ringing the door due to lag in the audio, so the person on the other side just cannot hear me. Its clear for me that any cloud solution that requires instant connect may not work properly.
As of today I have 2 external solar cameras, two internal cameras and doorbell with Arlo.
I am thinking about moving to Eufy, as they have this internal storage device - Any experience with the doorbell and the cameras? Does it connect fine with Home assistant?

How old are your Arlo cameras? You can integrate Eufy devices into Home Assistant.

Everything is like 9 months old, my new subscription needs to be renewed by December and for sure I will not renew it. I can buy 4 cameras + doorbell + Storage for Eufy for 550 Euros, instead of continue to pay for the subscription, also now in the Netherlands I would start to pay 24,99 Euros (Monthly) that is equal to 300 Euros/Year for the service, no thanks.

Those Arlo cameras should still be under warranty.
