Yes.  Check the compatibility list:

Also, many of the newer cameras can be connected directly to your home wifi, and not through the base.  For example, the Essential Gen 2 cameras.

 

BUT all currently sold cameras will require you to get a subscription for cloud storage. 

 

Note all the recordings you see on the app or my.arlo.com are in the cloud.  Pro 2 cameras were sold with 7 days of free storage, Arlo stopped offering that on new models back in 2018.

Not from Arlo. 

 

They stopped making them in 2019.  Anything you find will either be used or old inventory.
