Will other products comply with my ArloBaseStation?

[yurako]

Hi,

I have bough my arlo cameras ~6 years ago.
(Please see pics attached). 

I am wondering whether I can buy additional cameras ( of other types) and will they be able to sync with my ArloBaseStation (I think it is a "VMB4000")?

Will it be possible to sync any Arlo camera I buy?

p.s. Here is an example of a camera I want to buy: -  Arlo Indoor Camera

The compatibility list is here:

• https://kb.arlo.com/000062284/Arlo-SmartHub-and-Base-Station-Compatibility

The VMB4000 is compatible with the Essential Indoor 1st Gen camera you linked in above.  Also, most new camera models can be connected directly to your home wifi, and do not need a base.

As far as "any camera" goes, it is best to check the compatibility list before purchase.

Note that Arlo stopped providing 7-day free cloud storage on new camera models back in 2018.  All currently sold cameras require a subscription to get cloud recording.

FWIW, I recommend checking new camera prices before going with a renewed one.   There can be problems installing used cameras, especially if the previous owner failed to remove them from their account when they returned them.
