Be aware, the cameras are like the original base station tied to one customer...so can't be resold without netgear transferring ownership. I found out after being sold unknowingly a second-hand arlo system as new. Sucks very hard, 3 days of phone calls to netgear in philippines...just a warning....

Not to my knowledge.... Yes the bases are serialized, but cameras are not and can be synced to any other registered base.

( you can only sync a cam to one base at a time )

Could be that the camera was not deactivated from the original base station's list. Smiley Very Happy

yes...

 

made a call to verify re cams and results were (other thread);

 

 

The cameras have MACs and serial number that get tied into into a base when the cameras are sync'ed.  The BASE serial number is tied to an account and the cameras will show as linked to that account in the servers database ( which is how the data re cameras is logged ).

 

So if a base with cameras is registered to a person and the person returns it to a store, there may be trouble attempting to resync the camera to a "new' base as the server database may have them tied to another base.

 

If you get a 'used' camera, netgear can clear it but you'll prob have to make a call for that to happen.

If you buy a new unused camera, then there's no problem as it was never linked to a base account.
