Expanding # devices and integrate with existing

In 2015+ I installed 4 cameras (model #of one:48B461SW653C3). When recording these devices burn through batteries (cr123), as such I stopped recording. However, I need to record again so I was thinking about replacing a couple of these cameras with a wired version, Essential Indoor. Couple of questions: 1) how long is the power cord, 2) Will this camera integrate with my existing cameras and 3) Is this the best solution?

You posted the serial number, not the model. However, you must have the original Arlo camera (VMC3030), as that is the only model that uses CR123 batteries.

It will require a subscription to get cloud storage (unlike your older cameras). That said, it is a better camera than what you have now.

Another solution is to get rechargable CR123 batteries (Tenergy is a brand that Arlo qualified some years ago, but other brands also should work).

It's not compatible with your base. But it can connect directly to your home wifi, and be added to your account.

It's powered with USB cable and charger. The supplied microUSB cable is about 7 feet. But it detaches, so you could potentially get a longer one if needed.
