Second Base Station Camera Viewing

jpa4224 — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 00:03:25 GMT

I want to purchase a second base station (with second account) so that I can have 7 cameras active at the same time. Is it possible to view all seven cameras from one app account? And can I view all seven cameras at the same time with Amazon Fire TV? If not what’s the best way to view all cameras from the same source? Thanks!

Once you set up your second account you then use the grant access feature which will then show you all of your cameras on the same app. Going to the library will show you all the cameras as well.

If you want to view them all on a bigger screen then login using https://arlo.netgear.com on any computer browser.

I just tested 8 Live View sessions on my iPad Pro and that worked. Some were devices on my account and some were shared devices from another account. The 12.9" iPad pro will display up to 16 small images at the same time. My 11" iPad Pro only shows 6 full images and 3 half images at the same time, so 7 doesn't quite fit without scrolling to see the last row. I can see 9 images fairly well on my 10.5" iPad Pro running V2.5.5 of the Arlo app.

I have not tried this on Apple TV using the Arlo app there and don't use Fire.

Note that Arlo isn't really designed for "Active" surveillance. You won't get motion recordings while viewing live. I haven't tried any of this with a CVR subscription to see if you could continuously record many cameras while doing Live View.
