Which cameras can I use with my existing base station?

Which wireless camera can I purchase that will hook up to my existing base unit? I just do not want to have to access 2 sources when accessing footage. Thank you.

If you have a subscription, you won't need to (and a subscription is needed to get any cloud storage with a current camera).

Note that the only bases that support direct access to local storage are the two smarthubs (VMB4540 and VMB5000).

What is compatible depends on what base model you have. Look for a VMBxxxx label on the base.

I have a VMB3010r2. Will that work?

Not with any of the newer cameras. Did you read the info in the link I posted above?
