I am new to Arlo. I just bought a house that has 5 arlo cameras that were left here. Is it possible for me to buy a base station and use the existing cameras?

That may work but the previous owner may be able to see the cameras. First try resetting the exisiting base by holding the reset button until the LEDs flash amber. Wait for the base to reboot and see if you can claim the base. If so, you're golden.

Thanks for the reply! I am trying to figure out if the Arlo cameras will work if I buy a new base station or if they are useless. When I bought the house and moved in, there were 5 cameras and no base station.

Ah! Yes, the cameras should work fine on your new base station.
