Only the base needs an IP address and it should get that from your router. Assuming you have the base connected to the router with the Ethernet cable, you should have both the power and Internet LEDs green. The Camera LED should be off or amber. If all of this is true, claim the base first and then sync the cameras.

What color is the Internet LED? It must be green. Off or amber is an issue.

One would think that you'd be able to access the cameras directly by accessing a web interface via the internal IP (the same way you would with a network printer or typical IP camera) but nope! You have to use Netgear's craptacular "cloud" service in order to use these cameras. No local storage. No local access. Internet connection required. Delayed motion activation (wirelessly). Random disconnects. Expensive lithium batteries. Terrible support. Zero satisfaction. If you still have time, return what you bought, save your sanity.

These were never sold as IP cameras and the documentation is clear on that. Your failure to research isn't Arlo's fault - it's yours. Same thing with the batteries - you had a choice of the oldest design or the newer ones with li-ion batteries that are rechargeable.

I was an early adopter of the original wire free cameras. At the time, it did not make sense to have to check whether or not the camera system allowed for local network access of the camera feeds as well as recording data, because every other cctv system on the market does this.
Even though the cameras and base station create their own completely separate network that could operate without internet access, and although the base hardware is completely capable of writing to local storage via usb, netgear decided not make local access part of their roadmap.
In addition to this, the base station is designed as such that the antennas are facing the flat side of the unit (away from the cables). If you wanted to mount this to a wall with your other network gear, first jam a screwdriver in your eye because it will make more sense that way.
If you want to use arlo, toss out any logical thought process then just maybe it will be for you. In my opinion, it kind of does the job but it's mostly overpriced IoT hot garbage.
