Hi. I live in a 6-unit condo, and we are considering the Arlo Pro 4.  Can a single camera can be connected to 6 individual wireless networks, so that each unit can connect via their own network?

 

Thanks,

Greg

No, the camera can only connect to one network.  

 

However, people can still access the camera from their mobile phones or from PCs connected to their individual WiFi networks.  You'd need to set up a primary account for the camera (and subscription), and set up "friend" accounts for every one accessing the cameras. https://kb.arlo.com/000039122/How-do-I-add-friends-to-my-Arlo-account

 

While it is possible to give some additional rights to each account, you might not want to do that, as it could create some confusion over how the camera should be set up.  But there is information on that here:  https://kb.arlo.com/1103229/What-privileges-do-my-friends-have-when-I-grant-them-access-rights-in-my...
