https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Any-Rebate-Program-for-Old-Devices-like-VMB3000/m-p/1801316#M78462 <P>I have been using Arlo products for many years now but one problem I see is that is hard to take advantage of newer devices with old integration devices like Base Station.</P> <P>For example, I bought a VMB3000 Bast station with some cameras some years back. But currently, it has limited support for newer cameras. Also, I wanted to get the Arlo door the other day and found that it will not play well with my existing base station so went Ring doorbell. After I got my Ring doorbell I thought I might as well get their Ring security systems.&nbsp; You see how farther I am getting from Arlo products? Not that like Ring so much but I am not sure what option you guys left me except buying a new Base station which might soon be outdated too.</P> <P>While I understand that every Software &amp; Hardware company struggle with this problem (developing new device/software and at the same time maintaining backward compatibility with older ones), I was wondering if Arlo has a Rebate program that will allow older device owners to trade in their older device and get a new one at a subsidized fee. That way it is a win-win situation for your old customers with older devices that want to use your cool newer devices on their existing integration infrastructure.</P> Mon, 23 Nov 2020 16:23:15 GMT papigee 2020-11-23T16:23:15Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Any-Rebate-Program-for-Old-Devices-like-VMB3000/m-p/1801316#M78462 <P>I have been using Arlo products for many years now but one problem I see is that is hard to take advantage of newer devices with old integration devices like Base Station.</P> <P>For example, I bought a VMB3000 Bast station with some cameras some years back.
