Buying 3 additional cameras vs. Buying a new, 3-camera kit. Please advise.

[ArloCustomer]

I need three new cameras. In this regard, it seams more cost-effective to buy a new, 3-camera kit (3 cameras & 1 base station) than buying 3 separate new cameras. If I buy a new, 3-camera kit, Will I be able to sync the new cameras to my original base station?

I can appreciate your sense of value.  The answer is YES, w/these caveats.  If you have the:

- Basic/free package (you're not paying any money), you can only sync up to five (5) total cameras;
- Premier package, you can sync up to ten (10) total cameras; and
- Elite package, you can sync up to 15 total cameras.

You can of course use the second base station if you have the basic/free package and have 6-10 cameras; but that sounds a little messy keeping tabs of websites/accounts.

If you have a little patience and luck, you could also perhaps buy the stand-alone cams from other owners (who overpurchased for one reason or another), and/or sell your second base station.  We probably need a dedicated "Wanted/For Sale" subforum - I have a feeling it would do a rife business...

Sure, this will work.

However, why not buy the 4-camera set, and sell the base station and one camera, say, for $150?

You'll get the three cameras for $100 less than the three-camera set with base station and the buyer saves $50 on a single camera and base station kit. Win-win.
