Can Vmb3500 base and cameras be used with essential cameras?

I have 4 essential cameras working at this time and want to add VMB 3500 base station and 3 more cameras. Is this possible to use base station with 3 cameras along with essential cameras already set up ?

The essential cameras can't be connected through a VMB3500, but you would be able continue to use them as they are (connected to your home wifi).

You would need to maintain your subscription to get cloud storage of course. The unlimited subscription would also apply to the legacy cameras connected to the VMB3500.
