I bought the four camera system (with one base station) and love it, however I need to add one more camera to my system. That would make it a five camera system. I have the basic package (free package) and at the bottom of my screen it says I can add one more camera. So my question is if I buy the fifth camera will it work just like my other four cameras or do I need to add another base station? Also, with that fifth camera can I only stream four live pictures from the cameras at the same time or will I be able to view all five live pictures at once? I normally only watch one live picture at a time but I'm just curious. Thanks in advance.

If you operate with only 1 base station you will only be able to stream 4 cameras at a time. Besides that every thing should remain the same.

It isnt. I have 5 cameras on my base station and they are all running without any issues.

You misunderstood.  You can only STREAM 4 cameras at a time.  You can schedule more but live streaming is limited to 4.

Ahhhh thanks for the correction! 

 

One question for you. Is it 4 streaming total? Or can I use 2 bases and stream 8?

It's 4 cams max per base streaming. So 2 bases would stream 8 , up to 3 bases-12

For your 5th camera, just sync it normally like you did with the 4 previous ones
