Steps to cancel Arlo Secure

  1. 1Sign in at my.arlo.com, open Settings, then Subscription (or Secure, then My Arlo Account).
  2. 2Select Cancel Subscription or Change Plan and follow the onscreen steps.
  3. 3Cancel through the same place you signed up: if you subscribed inside the app on Android or through the Apple App Store, cancel in that app or store instead, since Arlo support cannot do it for you.
  4. 4Your plan stays active until the end of the billing period. Cloud recordings are deleted within 48 hours of the end date, so download anything you want to keep first.

SimpliSafe is the rare home-security trial that's actually friendly — no 36-month contract, no installer in your house. The 30 days of professional monitoring is genuine and you can downgrade to free self-monitoring without losing the hardware. Take it. If you don't want pro dispatch (the top tiers run $50–$80/mo), set a calendar reminder for day 28 and switch to the $9.99 self-monitoring plan to keep camera recording, or drop to free if your cameras have local storage you trust.

We include Vivint specifically as a *don't-get-trapped* entry. The salesperson at your door will say "try it for 3 days," and that is technically true, but if you're not ready to call within 72 hours of installation you've just signed up for a 60-month $7,000 commitment. The system itself is good — pro-installed gear, real central monitoring — but the financing terms make this the most expensive "trial" in this entire category. If you want monitored security, take SimpliSafe's 30-day trial instead and walk away if you don't love it.
