Arlo Secure trial and adding Arlo Pro 3 to VMB 4000 hub

[tencherman]

I have x3 Pro 2 cams hooked up to the VMB 4000 hub they came with, plus x1 Arlo Q linked directly to the router. I'm considering adding a Pro 3 as an additional cam to see if the extra resolution and spotlight feature are worth it.

Q1. The Pro 3 (NOS) comes with a 3 month trial of Arlo Secure. During the trial period are the other cameras added to the Arlo Secure subscription or is it only the  Pro 3 that's included during the trial period?

Q2. Assuming it's the latter (Arlo not being famous for backward compatibility until forced) if I buy an Arlo Secure subscription are the other 4 cameras (Pro 2 & Arlo Q) added seamlessly to Arlo Secure and able to benefit ftrom the additional features i.e. 30 day storage; 'clever' notifications etc. ?

Thanking you in anticpation

Just the Pro 3.  Your existing cameras will continue to work as they do now (still having the 7 days of free cloud storage).

Yes - assuming you purchase a multicamera subscription plan.  After that you simply move the cameras into the plan in the subscription area of the account.  The multicamera plan has no camera limit.

The other option is to get a less expensive single camera plan.  In that case, just the Pro 3 will get the additional features.
