With our new business model , a free three - month trial of Arlo Smart , attached to all of our refreshed products , each quarter we set records for new accounts and materially increase the number of subscriber additions . This is producing a fast - growing , high margin revenue stream that we expect to eclipse the $ 100 million level for the full year . With the team executing well , I am very excited about what Arlo can accomplish in 2021.
