I need help pinpointing exactly what I need to purchase in order to use my Arlo security with Apple Homekit. I've done a bit of research online but I'm still a little confused.
Currently I have a very old Ring doorbell (wireless) and monitoring service, multiple Blink indoor cameras (wireless), 4 Arlo Essential Cameras (VMC2030Aerh9), and 1 Arlo Floodlight Pro 3 (FB1001aerh6), but there is no base station for anything.
What I would like to do is replace my Ring doorbell and monitoring system with Arlo's and eventually the Blink indoor cameras as well. Where I'm running into issues is finding compatibility with Apple's Homekit. I would like to control and monitor all these systems in the homekit app if possible. So here's my questions:
1. I have to purchase an Arlo HUB to link everything into the Apple Homekit, correct? The monitoring system itself is not a HUB? Also, will I be able to control the monitoring system through Homekit?
2. Will my existing Arlo cameras work with Homekit? 4 Essential's (VMC2030Aerh9) and 1 Floodlight Pro 3 (FB1001aerh6).
3. Is there a list of Homekit compatible Arlo doorbell model numbers? I've found a few good deals online, but some of the forum posts indicate some are compatible and some are not.
Thank you for your help!

The first one applies if you see "Library" in your app menu. The second applies if you see "Feed" instead.
