Hello, I have the Arlo Pro, the original ones. It came with a base station VMB4000r3. Our cams are coming to end of life. I would like to get a new system, but I want to use a base station. I like my base station and its features. Will the Arlo Pro4 connect to my current base station? Online it says compatible to VMB4000, but not VMB4000r3

 

Thank you

The 4000r3 is just a third minor revision of hardware... anything that works on the 4000 will also on the r3

 

the Pro 4 will can either be connected to your home wifi, or it can be connected to a VMB4000 base

BUT remember that with the new cameras you'll need a subscription after the trial period...

Thanks for the info. Well that stinks about the subscription. So even with the base connected, it won't record? Not even for the normal free 7 days of video?

Arlo stopped providing 7 free days of cloud storage for new camera models back in 2018 starting with the Ultra.  The Pro 4 has always required a subscription for cloud storage.

 

As will all your older cameras once their EOL date is reached.
