Adding a new Arlo Pro with the old original Arlo setup?

[ant]

Hello.

I was thinking of keeping the old original Netgear Arlo setup (it already has five cameras) and then adding the new Arlo Pro with its rechargeable multiple cameras and base. I know one e-mail account can handle up to five cameras for free. Is it possible to add it to another e-mail account for the second Arlo setup (Pro)? Does Arlo's iOS app have a wait to have both accounts logged in to notify and give access to the approved users? I don't want to pay for the subscription to add more Arlo cameras. 😞

Thank you in advance. 🙂

Yes, if your second base is on a different account, use the Grant Access facility to allow you to only log into one account and see and control both systems. You'll obviously need to log into each individually to start with to set up the modes etc but from the one account, you can change modes, delete videos etc

Wait, can multiple Arlo setups be done with one e-mail address account for free? If so, then I don't need multiple accounts then. I did grant accesses to others users with their different e-mail addresses to use the old Arlo since Arlo doesn't allow multiple sessions at the same time (still there after all these years -- argh!).

Are there any screen shots and videos of showing multiple Netgear Arlo setups (original and Pro) together in action remotely in iOS? I wonder if this will be confusing.

no , more than 5 cams for free need multi email accounts

Say you have 7 cams , use the first account for the first 5 cams and the second account for the last two.

Use Grant Access of the second account to the first and all cams will appear int the first account.

Depending on admin access given you can have 90%+ of control of the last two cams but not 100%
