Using old Arlo/Netgear equipment

I received a set of Arlo HD wire free security cameras as a baby shower gift around 2016. At the time, we lived in a place that had security, but when we moved into a new house recently I tried to install the cameras and the Netgear base won’t pair with the Arlo app. I did some research and found that the two had split. Surely, they offer some support or compatibility. These things were brand new in the box. Can I use the cameras with an Arlo base? The model # is VMS3330-100NAS. Just hate to toss these in the trash.

The cameras are end-of-life, but still ought to work.

However, there have been several users who've said they can not install their old bases and cameras.

I don't know if Arlo will resolve those issues or not. I suggest hanging on to the equipment for a while, and check back here again.

Hi @Lyfiz2shrt

Have you tried installing the baby camera directly to your wifi network as well?
