Unidentifiable cameras when setting up HomeKit

Hi there,

I have a weird issue when setting up HomeKit (2 x base stations, 4 cameras on one base station and 2 cameras on the other base station)

when I set up the base station with 4 cameras, everything is fine. When it comes to the other base station with 2 cameras, it identifies 4 cameras.

Going through the HomeKit setup, it just gives me suggested names of VMB4540 field (the identifiable cameras have their serial numbers)

Has anyone seen anything like this before? The Arlo app doesn’t show these “cameras”

Everything else in HomeKit looks ok, it’s just annoying to have two “cameras” that don’t exist. (Attached image)

Thanks

The VMB4540 Field and VMB4540 Field 2 appear to be base stations, not cameras. As base stations, there is nothing to stream or view from HomeKit.

Is there any more on this issue? Can this “VMB4540 Field” be removed?
