How do I change a VMB3000 Smart Hub for a VMB5000 in an existing system with HD wire-free cameras

I've been running a system with VMB3000 smart hub and 4 x VMB3030 cameras for a few years now.

Recognising that if I want any new features, such as the Smart Doorbell, I'll need a new Smart Hub I recently purchased a VMB5000.

I'm unclear how I decommission the VMB3000 and commission the VMB5000. One thread suggested I remove the cameras from my account, remove the VMB3000, add the VMB5000 and then add the cameras.

That sounds possible however I still get the free cloud recording and storage with the VMB3030 cameras and I most definitely do not want to loose that, so not sure about removing every device from my account.

Thanks in anticipation.

That is the process. The free storage is associated with the cameras - not the base. So you will still have that feature after you migrate the cameras.

Ah, that's great @StephenB , I seen somewhere that the storage was associated with cameras but wanted to double-check.
