Adding Cameras to Arlo and Base station VMB3010

friesian49 — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 15:04:31 GMT

Hi, I bought the regular Arlo 4 camera kit in 2018. I want to get at least two new cameras that have (or have a better) night vision, sound, and zooming.

Base station is VMB3010

Cameras are listed as VMS3430

I don't see a good compatibility list for what upgrade I can do with the existing package. I'd like the integrated spotlight, as the one camera outside is useless at night - unable to see anything even with motion light on. Can I upgrade to the Arlo Ultra or just the Ultra Pro 2 with the base station I currently own?

If I decide to get an Arlo Ultra can I use my current Arlo cameras on it?

Appreciate any feedback or pointing to the right location on the website.

You can add a Pro 2 to your base station, but not an Ultra (or a Pro 3). You can of course upgrade the base station, and the new ones will support your cameras.

The Pro-3 and the Ultra are the two cameras with integrated spotlights. The light is 100 lumen - bright enough for me, but there are limits to how far it can reach.

Thanks, that helps!

After reading reviews earlier, I went with an Arlo Pro 2, see how much of an in improvement that is before I jump up hundreds of dollars.
