  My Arlo VMB4000 base station was max out with five connected Arlo cameras 

  I need to add more cameras, how do you add another VMB4000 base station without subscription plan.

The limit for free storage with your Pro 2 cameras is 5 unsubscribed cameras per account.  

 

None of the currently sold Arlo cameras have free storage.  If you don't want a subscription then you will want to

  1. purchase a VMB4540 or VMB5000 smarthub, so you can use local storage
  2. create a new account for the smarthub and the new cameras
  3. share the cameras in the existing account to the new account, so you can see videos from all the cameras

You will also need to migrate to the new "Feed" interface if you follow these steps.  Do you currently use custom modes and/or geofencing?
