I have a very large home (compound). For redundancy I have two sources of internet so I run two internet access systems one Cable and the other through phone. I have one Arlo set up with 8 cameras on a netwrok working fine. I wish to add a smaller group on a total different internet network. Different web source, router etc. It would be handy to be able to acces them both from one phone, computer, etc. So my system now is fully loaded $600-$700/yr all the goodies with 24 hour recording to cloud. The second will have only 3 cameras and will be much simpler in every way. probably just stick with basic free features. So if i have an Arlo nework A on internet X and I have a seperate Arlo network B on internet Y then how would I toggle back and forth between them for viewing, notification push etc? How would my phone know which to log on to??? would it be so simple I just type in a new email address and password any time I wanna switch and if I leave auto connect on would it simply hook me to the network I was on last..Or would I have to leave auto connect off??? Any other snags that I have not thought of??

You can install a second base station and add it (and any attached cameras) to your existing installation.  The systems do not need to be connected to the same router or Internet source.  I have cameras from two base stations 85 miles apart on one plan. They all appear in the same app.

how do I do this?? click add devise and then add the new base? how will my system find it if it is not on the same internet network. Or do I hook the new base to the different internet router/source and just use same email and password???

Plug the new base into the new network. Log into the Arlo app on your phone or PC using your existing credentials. Use the Add Device button to add the new base.

Then I just sync the new cameras to that particular base.
