VMC3030 with the Arlo Q

[Flagman]

 I currently have an Arlo Q camera that I use via my smartphone and laptop.  I bought a Arlo VMC3030 wishing to add to the existing app.  My question is can I add the Arlo wire free camera to my existing

Yes, you can add it to the app...BUT...

The Q runs directly to your home wifi...

The Arlos run their own wifi system ( from the base unit ) that talks only to the camera...it connects via ethernet cable to your router/switch.

Both sets will appear in the same program, BUT will be their own system.... Meaning that each will have their own ARMING, schedules, etc.

So I dont need the base unit?

Thanks

No, The base unit is needed for Arlo and Arlo Pro cameras....

The bases setup a wifi system to talk ONLY to the Arlo / Arlo Pro cams...Nothing else can link into the base.

The Q cameras talk directly to your home wifi setup.
