Can I mix a 1srt and 2nd generation Arlo Essential camera on my wifi network?

[BrianPreston]

I have 2 Arlo Essential cameras, one a 2030 and the other a 2032.  One has quit entirely--I don't know which.   When I go for a new camera, can I mix the 2nd generation Essential Spotlight cameras with my old one?

The 2032 is the XL version with a larger battery, so it is easy to tell the difference.

Yes.

The bad one is the XL.  I believe the battery is not replaceable, right? and I need a new camera?

If the camera charges, you could try the hardware reset

1. remove the camera from the account
2. hold the sync button until the camera LED flashes amber ( ~ 15 sec)
3. add the camera back to the account.
