I ask because I would like to add a camera on to a tree, but I am worried it will be too far from the base station. We have a google wifi mesh network and could add another wifi point to the house. Or do I need to get another base station? And if you get another base station, can they be connected together?

Try moving an exisiting camera to the new location to see if it has enough signal to work well.&nbsp; If so, just get an extra camera. Otherwise, get a single camera&nbsp; system with a base station. You can also try repositioning the existing base to a more central location to allow all cameras to connect well.&nbsp; The camera(s) connected to one base won't be usable in modes with the other but all devices will show up in your app/browser.</P> Mon, 27 Nov 2017 13:18:44 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro/Base-station-vs-wifi/m-p/1439417#M25988 jguerdat 2017-11-27T13:18:44Z
