Getting re-connected again

[stefano8]

Hi folks

would really appreciate some guidance from the community.

I have Arlo Wireless HD cameras (the 4 battery model) and XLs.  I ran these through the hub I received when I purchased the originals in 2017. Having moved house, I had to leave the hub behind, as it supported the Arlo doorbell.

Question I have is, what do I need to purchase to reconnect up my existing cameras, to my 5G Home Router.  (the area I am living in demand security cover)

Any guidance would be truly appreciated

Thank you

Stef

The currently sold hubs are the VMB4540 and the VMB5000. The main differences are that

• The VMB5000 is dual band (2.4 ghz/5ghz), the VMB4540 is single band (2.4 ghz)
• The VMB5000 has microSD slot for local storage, the VMB4540 has a USB port for that.
• The VMB5000 costs more.

Both support your 2.4 ghz cameras, so I'd just get the less expensive smarthub.

Note you will need to get ethernet to the hub, so double-check that your broadband router has a suitable LAN ethernet port.
