I just bought the Arlo essential outdoor camera HD 2nd generation and wanted to know if it’s compatible with a base station/smart hub? Thanks

@nosduh: Arlo has said they are going to add support for base stations for these cameras. But they haven't provided compatibility information yet.

I don't recommend purchasing a smarthub based on an assurance that it will eventually be supported. Best to wait until the feature is actually available.
