Can VMB5000 support avd2001 and chime 2?

[kmng123]

I have an Arlo SmartHub model # VMB 5000 that currently supports 6 Arlo Cameras (3 pcs Arlo Pro 2 & 3 pcs Arlo Pro 4).  If I were to buy the Arlo Video Doorbell Wire-Free (model AVD 2001B) and the Arlo Chime 2 (model AC 2001-100UKS) together, will my SmartHub able to support the additional 2 devices ?.  I understand that my SmartHub can only support maximum up to 6 Wire-Free cameras.

Also, If my SmartHub can support the additional 2 devices, can the pictures taken by the "Arlo Video Doorbell Wire-Free"  be able to local store inside the micro SD card installed inside the SmartHub ?. I do not wish to subscribe to the Arlo cloud storage plan.  Thanks & Regards.

No idea where you saw that, but it is not correct.

There is a limit of 5 simultaneous streams, so you would lose recordings when 5 or more cameras stream at the same time.  But you can connect the doorbell to your existing smarthub.

Yes.

Keep in mind that activity zones also require a subscription.  The doorbell camera can't be aimed, so you could end up with a lot more recordings and notifications than you want.
