Can the base station (VMB4540) connect the arlo cameras via the home wifi?

I have the Arlo Essential Indoor Cameras at my home. I'm planning to buy the base station to record the videos locally. I would like to confirm if the base station (VMB4540) can connect the arlo cameras via the home wifi (not the wifi from the base station)?

No, you need to have cameras connected via the base station to take advantage of direct storage access.

Be aware of the limitations for viewing.
