Yes. Multiple bases are useful to get optimal connections to the various cameras and have no impact on your account since only the total number of cameras matter.

If you do not need the second hub to handle more cameras, or to reach areas that are too far from the first hub, you can also keep the second base station as a spare. Your two new cameras will happily talk to your existing hub.

As PS, running multi bases is the only true way to expand coverage AND it allows you to run more than one schedule ( which can be good for spitting cameras up into like front/back, inside/outside) .
