Ghost base station?

PedroT99 — Tue, 28 Nov 2017 19:39:11 GMT

So I'm setting up my Arlo Pro...and it located the base station and then I synced both cameras but when I started playing around there are 2 base stations listed under devices. They have slightly different icons....I attached a screenshot.

When end I click on the top one, it has all of the info.....time zone, flicker rate, restart options.

The bottom one just takes me to the name of the base station (same name as the other base station) so it seems like a dummy profile. What did I do wrong?

Thanks for your help!

PS.....I have the VMS 4230-100NAS but it won't let me select that under Model.

The second/lower icon is simply used to name the base. No idea why it requires a second icon.

Thanks! I actually didn't know it had no function. I was about to remove from the device list!
