Arlo VMC3030 and Hub Question

[evabee]

I purchased a set of 4 used Arlo VMC3030 cameras and was told they work without a hub. I think this is not true, but can’t figure out which hub I need to buy to connect them. I was trying to be cheap but these may be unusable. Does anyone know which hub I need?

As @Edinburgh_lad1 says, they all are compatible with the VMC3030.

As far as cost goes, the CR132 batteries can add to the operating expense.  If you keep the cameras, then you might consider getting the Tenergy rechargeable ones.

Any hub.

Cheap is not always the cheapest long term. These also record for a fixed amount of time only, regardless of his long motion lasts.
