Question 2: These cameras can be connected directly to the router via WLAN. To use all the functions, you need a plan with Arlo.

The Arlo case mentioned is compatible with the Ultra, Pro 3 and Pro 4 cameras. However, the "Pro 5 4-pack (2688 x 1520 pixels)" model is not explicitly listed as compatible. It is therefore likely that this cover is not designed for this specific model. For guaranteed compatibility, we recommend using accessories specifically indicated for the Pro 5.

Hi, I simply connected the cameras to my Android and they work perfectly

Yes, you can set which cameras are displayed on the registered mobile devices in the Arlo Secure app. This can be done via different logins or user accounts. Each user can have access to specific cameras that are configured in their account. You can therefore create two separate user accounts to ensure that everyone only sees their own cameras. It is not necessary to buy two individual camera sets to achieve this.

The cameras can be connected to different Wi-Fi networks, but it is easier if all cameras are connected to the same network. However, if you want to use different networks, you can connect each camera individually to a different network. However, a 2.4 GHz network must be used during setup and you can also add a 5 GHz network afterwards.

These are the same cameras, only the number of cameras differs. This offer includes three cameras, whereas the article 46185779 only includes two.

Arlo's "Pro5 2K 4-Cam Security Camera" comes with brackets, including a magnetic mount and a screw kit for wall mounting. These cameras do not require a hub. You can connect them directly to your Wi-Fi network without the need for a hub. The Arlo Pro 5 cameras support dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and can connect directly to your Wi-Fi router. However, using an Arlo SmartHub or Base Station can add an extra layer of security and improve Wi-Fi traffic management, as well as potentially extending battery life.

Hello, to be honest I'm a bit disappointed with this camera. On the one hand, you can't set the camera to only record people, but all movements are recorded. On the other hand, the battery will never last 6-8 months. Unless you set the camera to stand-by non-stop. While one camera's battery went down to 40% within 10 days, the others are at around 80%. Also, the siren cannot be triggered automatically only for people, but for all movements, which is nonsense. So if the above options are important to you, stay away from this camera. Customer service is available, but not competent.

The Arlo Pro 5 security camera with the manufacturer ID VMC4260P requires an Arlo SmartHub to function. The SmartHub is used to connect wireless cameras to the Internet and does not work directly with Wi-Fi without it.

Can these cameras be used without a plan and what functions are not available without a plan? If it's only about data storage, is it possible to buy an external memory?

Hello kennybanzer I don't really understand your problem. I just downloaded the latest Arlo Secure app from the Playstore to my second mobile and after logging in to the Arlo account, my three Alo Pro 5 were immediately recognised and displayed. I use a Fritzbox Mesh WLAN. The current app version is 4.14.5-28674

You have to buy the housing. I bought it as a complement to cameras with the box already installed.
