If you want the option of using direct access to local storage (for a future new camera or doorbell purchase), then the VMB4540 is a good choice (cheaper than the VMB5000). Īnyway, if you need the siren feature in the base, then the VMB4000 is the only option. It has quite a few limitations, an IMO a paid subscription is a better way to go.
Arlo base station with siren pro#
Does support direct access to local storage.ĭirect Access to local storage is a way to avoid a paid subscription with newer cameras (that don't have the free 7-day cloud storage that is included with the original camera, the Pro, and the Pro 2).

Compatible with: Arlo Ultra, Ultra 2, Essential wire-free, Pro 3, Pro 3 Floodlight Camera, Pro 2, Pro, Wire-Free, Video Doorbell, and Audio Doorbell.

Arlo base station with siren 1080p#
Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera - 1 Pack - Wireless Security, 1080p Video, Color Night. Does not support direct access to local storage. Arlo Base Station with Siren White - VMB4500-100NAS (Renewed). VMB4500: basically a VMB4000 without a siren (with a newer Arlo look).But does not support direct access to local storage. VMB4000: has a siren, the others do not.Arlo covers every angle to help keep your home safe and secure. The only bases worth considering are the 4 below: 100-decibel smart siren that can be sounded using the Arlo app. The siren? One connects directly to internet like a router, or IS a router, and the other NEED another router out to the internet? Or?Īll the bases connect with ethernet to your router, so there is no functional difference there. Is your current base failing? Is there some feature that it doesn't I can't find serious, technical explanation of what is the PRINCIPAL difference between a base station and a smart hub. What about this are you finding confusing? old Arlo cameras need a new or better base station - or smart hub. But I can't find serious, technical explanation of what is the PRINCIPAL difference between a base station and a smart hub. I have read many (all?) FAQ and community threads, and what "gives the best experience" and similar non-factual commercial mumbo-jumbo on what is "best" for me. STHM Disarmed is all cameras off, STHM Armed Stay is just the outside cameras on, and STHM Armed Away is all cameras on.Old Arlo cameras need a new or better base station - or smart hub. And of course in Arlo Armed Away mode, all of the cameras alert me and set off the siren when motion is detected on them.Īrlo cameras won’t do anything no matter what mode the Arlo app is in if the cameras are off so I just leave the Arlo app in these armed modes since I have SmartThings enable or disable the cameras depending on whatever security mode the STHM is in. Because when I’m at home (Arlo Armed Stay mode), I have SmartThings setup to enable all of the cameras (including the cameras inside), and set off the siren if intrusion is detected from a multisensor, but because I’m moving around inside, I don’t want the inside cameras to turn on the siren, I just want the outside cameras to do that. That way I can have different camera setups to alert me and turn on the base station siren depending on if I’m home or not. In the Arlo app, I have two modes, one for Armed Stay, and another one for Armed Away which I use the Arlo geolocation set set. I use that Arlo app security modes to alert me and turn on the base station siren when motion is detected on the cameras motion sensor.
