Pairing New smarthub for pro 3

[kevinRoland]

I have  2 Ultra cameras and just purchased Arlo pro 3. 1 of my Ulras is closer to the new pro 3 smarthub which looks just like the ultra hub. Can I pair the Ultra to the new smarthub from pro 3 for a better connection.

Yes.

FWIW, there are two smarthub models - the VMB4540 and the VMB5000.  Normally I'd expect the Ultras to ship with the VMB5000, and the Pro 3s to ship with the VMB4540.  There should be a label with the part number on each base.

Differences between them are:

• The VMB5000 uses a microSD card for local storage, while the VMB4540 has a USB connector where you can plug in a USB drive.
• The VMB5000 has 2.4 and 5 ghz radios, and the VMB4540 is only 2.4 ghz.

As far as the radios go, if the Ultra is far from the base, it should be using 2.4 ghz anyway - as that has more range than 5 ghz.

Anyway, both smarthubs support both camera models.  https://kb.arlo.com/000062284/Arlo-SmartHub-and-Base-Station-Compatibility
