Multiple Base Stations

Brilliance — Sun, 11 Feb 2018 01:18:41 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy Arlo Pro 2 for my office space and I need 9 cameras. I'm not sure if I should get 9 cameras for 1 base station OR 9 cameras and 2 base stations?

Any recommendations?

What is the maximum number of cameras per base station?

Thanks in advance.

@Brilliance

The maximum number of cameras on one base station is 15, but only 5 can stream video at one time. Also range may be an issue depending on how far the cameras are from the base station. If you go the 2 base station route, you may also have to purchase a wireless wifi range extender since each base station must physically connect to the internet through an ethernet cable. But, they are not expenxive. I purchased a good one for round $50 to $60.

Probably the 2 base station route is the best way to go.
