I am considering adding a Arlo Pro to my 1st generation system due to the audio option and rechargeable batteries.  

 

I just purchased this whole system 6 mo ago and not looking to buy an entirely new base and kit. 😕  Will the audio record in my 7-day storage account when connected to the previous base station?

Yes... it records audio on the mp4 files from the mic ( on camera )

You can hear it on playback

The Pro camera will function with either base ( running one now on the older base ).  You will have the audio with the Pro , But NOT the local record / siren as that is built into the newer Pro Base unit.

 

As mention the limit is the number of cameras on your service level , basic is 5.

Great,  I just wanted to make sure the Audio would be recorded and play back from my online 7 day backup because there is no audio now, and now way to test audio playback on the cloud service. 

 

Not concerned about local at the moment.

I know it will record with new base -b Just wanted to make sure the audio was saved by old base with the new camera.
