Unfortunately then I found out that I can't record if I don’t have the Arlo Pro base.<BR />Way does the Arlo base have USB ports, when there is no recording possible?<BR /><BR />Is there any way to record also with this base station Or I need to return the camera and the base?<BR /><BR />Regards<BR /><BR />One solution ...if you have Q Cameras, you can plug the camera to the back of the base station and save on outlets!</P> Mon, 02 Nov 2020 17:21:34 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Arlo-Base-Station-USB/m-p/1798886#M78096 ChiTownGent 2020-11-02T17:21:34Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Arlo-Base-Station-USB/m-p/1798901#M78098 <P>There is no usb backup in the original Arlo HD base unit.</P> <P>the USB ports were for a “ planned “ option that was never finished at time of release.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The first base to have usb backup recording is the Pro series ( model 4000 base ).</P> Fri, 30 Oct 2020 15:47:05 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Arlo-Base-Station-USB/m-p/1798901#M78098 TomMac 2020-10-30T15:47:05Z
