If you actually purchased the Gen 2 camera - Arlo hasn't added base station support yet. No idea when they will roll that out.

If you purchased the original Essential XL, then compatibility is here:

You'd need a smarthub (VMB4540 and VMB5000) if you want to access the local recordings from the app.
