Arlo 2 Ultra upgrade questions...

[merakogie]

Hi guys,

I'm about to upgrade my Arlo system from a 3 camera Arlo Pro 1-system to a 3 camera Arlo Ultra 2-system.

At the moment, at least in Germany, I cannot find any vendor selling the Smart Hub for the Ultra 2. Neither stand alone nor in a package with 3 cameras.

My questions are:

Can you recommend the switch to the Ultra system?

Does the regular Ultra Smart Hub (VMB5000) also support Ultra 2 cameras?

Thanks in advance!

Switching depends so much on what you want/need to change. Area covered? Resolution? Just something new? Don't forget that the Ultras will require a subscription, unlike the Pro system. I can recommend the Ultras but I can also recommend staying with the Pro system. 

Most base stations and all SmartHubs support the Ultras. The hubs make it easier to access local recordings, if that's something you might use. If not, your existing base would work fine.
