Trying to set my parents up with an economical doorbell and maybe an Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera (bundle). 

1) Does this bundle come with a base station?

2) Do they need a base station, in particular for the doorbell? Doesn't look like it comes with this bundle.

3) If I purchased the Premier Smart Plan, would it cover the camera and doorbell (as 2 separate cameras), or does this plan only cover cameras?

I'm not sure exactly what bundle you mean (and don't work for Arlo), but I don't think wired doorbell starter bundle includes a base.  Both the Essential camera and the wired doorbell can connect to your home wifi (though they also can be paired with a base if you want to do that later on).

They do not need a base.

Premier Smart would cover the doorbell too.   It'd be cheapest to get two single camera subscriptions (one for the camera, the other for the doorbell)
