You should be able to simply add the Pro 3s to your current plan (as long as you don't go over 10 cameras on the subscription of course). If you remove the Pros from the paid subscription, you'd still get the 7 day cloud storage. So you can remove the Pros first, and then add in the Pro 3s after that.

thanks, will try when they arrive. From what little research ive done the only way to get the pro 3 and ultras and etc working properly is to switch to the "new" smart plans, but i will not be doing that as I have a total of 15 cameras in my household. That would be well over $200 a year for a subscription, not happening!

Once you change the Legacy plan ( TMK ) you can't go back , so I would be very careful.

If it were me, I'd start a second account for the NEW cameras ( diff pw/email ) and then share them back to the original account ( grant access ). That way if it doesn't work out, you lose nothing.
