I have an older base station 2018. I need to replace a faulty camera. What is the best quality camera I can get that is compatible with my base station that uses Arlo direct wire Pro2 cameras.

That base do you have? Look for a VMBxxxx label on it.

Note many of the current cameras can connect directly to your home wifi.

BTW, all of the current cameras will require a subscription for recording storage. Arlo stopped offering free storage on new models back in 2018.
