I have been successfully using a hub and 3 Ultra 2 cameras at my farm for a couple of years now.  I extended my Wi-Fi to my barn using an AyrMesh product.  I have Wi-Fi in my barn now but how do I get my two new Arlo cameras to connect to the base station back at the house which is on another wi-fi network?

Thank you for the help.  I ordered a second hub from Amazon and it arrived the same day.  It works flawlessly and I couldn’t be happier.  Thanks again.

The base station isn't on your wifi network.  It has to be connected via ethernet.

 

The base creates a closed wifi network for the cameras, so you can just add the new cameras to that second base.  Note some cameras (Pro 3 floodlight, Pro 4, Essential models) can be connected to your mesh w/o a base.

Thanks.  So I just buy a second base, connect it to the LAN port in the barn and then that creates a second wi-fi network for the barn cameras?

BTW, there are advantages to 2 bases...

You can run multi schedules ( one for each ) and of course all the ARM all/Disarm all buttons there is no longer a need to go to each base for this
