I have arlo smart hub for my home security.. Can I use an arlo essential wire free camera in my motorhome with WiFi connection?

Is the motor home in range of the home/local wifi or is for when you go away?

when you say you have a smart hub for home security, do you mean a base/hub or the arlo home security system with a keypad?

I don’t believe the essential gen2 is compatible with a base/hub only wifi.

The 2nd Gen cameras can only be connected to your WiFi. Arlo is planning to add smarthub support, but haven't said when.

Adding the camera will migrate your account to "Feed", so if you see "Library" in your app menu, then you should search this forum to learn about "Feed" before you purchase. Also, 2nd Gen cameras aren't supported in all regions, so you should also check on that.
