Multiple Base Stations On Same Network

robnorthen — Tue, 19 Sep 2017 09:48:12 GMT

I live in a big house with thick walls. I use powerline adaptors to provide internet to parts of the house that the WiFi cannot reach. I would like to have cameras cover all areas of the house and plan to connect a base station into the ethernet port of one of the powerline adaptors. My question is can I have two base stations connected to two powerline adaptors in different parts of the house?

Thanks.

Yes. Just make sure your throughput for the PLAs is adequate, especially if they're different brands/models.

I have Arlo cameras and bases set up directly on my router, on a switch, on a powerline adapter and a WiFi extender.

What about different locations i.e. at two different buildings across the city but using the same account? Would it be possible?

Two different buildings in different parts of town are probably not on the same network but you can add more than 1 base station to one user account.

The number of bases and their locations have no effect on the various subscriptions. The total number of cameras added to one account does - as long as you keep themto 5 or less, you're fine for the free plan. If you need more, use a second email address to create a second account and put one system on that new account. Then use Grant Access from the second account to the first so you can view and (mostly) manipulate both systems from one login.
