The Arlo Pro base ( and original base ) can support a max of 5 streaming cameras at the same time

If more cams are needed , you can use another base ( no limit on any service level ) with a higher service ( $)

If the max is 5 per base then why would they have a package that includes 6 cameras and only one base?

I believe the base station can handle up to 15 cameras. Your cloud storage for a free is 5 cameras

Can you let me know which base model number that can support more than 5 cameras doing streaming full HD concurrently?

Whether streamming and storing are independent ? Or icreasing streaming thread would make reducing storing threads?

How many combination of streaming and storing threads that the Arlo Pro Base support concurently?

Best regards

Currently no base can handle more than 5 concurrent streaming cameras. That's usually not a problem since most instances would have fewer cameras recording/streaming at once but that may not be true in your case. If that's a limitation, use a second base so you could stream 10 cameras at once, 5 per base. Of course, your Internet upload speed could then be an issue (could max out around 15Mbs just for the cameras).

How many cameras can one base station handle?
Hi all I am trying to work out how many devices one base station can handle. Ie my current need is for 2 cameras but what if I want to extend that later? Are all base stations the same and the only difference between each "kit" is the number of Cameras it is supplied with or if I want 4 cameras can I buy a 2 camera plus base station now and add 2 cameras later or do I buy a base station that allows 4 but only by the two cameras?

Re: How many cameras can one base station handle?
The amount of cameras ONE base can handle is based on your account level...
basic(free) is 5, next is 10 and highest is 15. ( all bases are the same

The max number of cameras any one base can handle is 15. ( also the max on any account )

But there different numbers of cams based on your service level.
Basic ( free) is 5.... Premier is 10..... Elite is 15

If I combine the answers from jguerdat and Johny290 the answer for my question is that Arlo Pro base can support Full HD streaming for 5 cameras concurrently, and depend on the selected service option, total number of camera that allowed connecting to a base is up to 15.
Is this correct?

Thanks

Yes I believe so

Absolutely.

My last question is that whether Arlo Pro can handle STREAMING Up and STORE Video at the Full HD resolution? If yes, what is the Max fps?

Thanks

The Pro cameras don't do full HD - they're 720p, not 1080p.

Bandwidth usage is spelled out in the FAQs here:

A package of six cameras ( is/was ) a special package where during setup you used a given code to allow 6 cameras to be uses on a free ( Basic ) service level.
