What's camera versions won't work with an Arlo Pro base station?

So I have Arlo pro cameras and even a Arlo Pro 3 floodlight. The floodlight I bought about 2 years back. Now I want to add a few more cameras and see Arlo has added a few more models since then. Can I connect Arlo Pro 2 cameras to my base station?

On a side question I've always thought my Arlos were garbage but I have invested in four, now maybe more, cameras already but what are some of the competitors you guys have migrated to that you found superior to Arlos?

Yes. The compatibility list is here:

Pro 2 cameras are end-of-life, so you would be purchasing either very old inventory or used cameras. If the previous owner didn't bother to remove the cameras from their account, then you might not be able to add the cameras to your account. In addition, some users have found that installing the old cameras can fail when the firmware in the cameras is very old.

Also, the free 7-day cloud storage for the legacy camers is limited to 5 unsubscribed cameras per account.
