Do I need to subscribe any montly payment to use it?

You will need to pay for a subscription in order to have it function like the arlo cameras, otherwise it’s live video only. We are disappointed the wired doorbell does not connect to the arlo hub and operate Ike our other arlo cameras. Also, without the subscription you do not have full functionality in the settings menu - you only have basic controls and options. - would not recommend or buy again.

Is this compatible with Arlo Pro 2 base, and does it require a subscription to operate?

The Video Doorbell does not need a base station as it connects directly to your 2.4Ghz home WiFi network. The Arlo Video Doorbell comes with a 3-month free trial of Arlo Smart, which enables users to store their videos in the cloud for up to 30 days. After the 3-month trial, user can continue storing their videos in the cloud with a paid subscription. Customers will always have the ability to receive instant alerts, live-stream video from their doorbell, receive a direct-to-mobile video call from a doorbell press, and play quick reply messages, even without a paid subscription plan. https://kb.arlo.com/88. ^KN

does the video doorbell require existing wiring or can it be connected wirelessly (as I do not have existing wires or doorbell)?

Arlo Video Doorbell requires a connection to a wired mechanical or digital chime in order to enable continuous power, reduce latency, and capture and transmit videos in real-time so users won’t miss a moment. ^KN

How much is the subscription?

Arlo Video Doorbell comes with a free Arlo Smart trial. When the trial expires, you have the option to purchase an Arlo Smart subscription. Without an Arlo Smart subscription, you can still add up to 5 cameras to your Arlo account, live stream, and receive motion and audio notifications. Arlo Smart subscriptions start as low as $2.99/mo.
