Hi,

Recently we ahve Cyclone in Chennai, India and No Internet worked for weeks during this period we tried to connect the base as Access Point to view camera but as the base is password protected we could not able to connect. My question is camera is connected to base via Wifi and if we could able to connect base locally using Access point concept and connect the camera through it to view the status it will be helpful in our situvation kindly help.

No. The base cannot be accessed by you in any way. You could use a hotspot if cell service is available but you would still need to connect the base to it with the Ethernet cable.

The Arlo base will set up it's own wifi network for the cameras ONLY, you can not acess it with any other device.

The Arlo base needs and ethernet port to function as it needs internet access.... If your wifi hotspot has one then the base would connect there.

If the hotspot does not, then you will need a wifi extender that 1) hooks into your hotspot 2) has an ethernet port ( the base will plug into the extender then )

You will acces the camera system thru your normal wifi from the hotspot.

Correct. The hotspot is to provide the Internet access. Without it Arlo won't work.
