Question

Hi all.  Hope everyone is doing well.Hi all. Hope everyone is doing well. I had to do a factory reset on my VMB4000 bc everything stopped working and it was the last resort. I got it up and running, however I’m now seeing base station broadcasting its SSID in my network list. Isn’t this a security risk? I did not see this before as “Arlo xxxx. ” I’ve had Arlo Pro system for 17 months. 1. Is there a way to not have it broadcast 2. I’m planning to move the base station in between a camera with very low signal and the router using an extender, and issues anyone sees before I do this? Much obliged.  

Answer 1

All mine broadcast. Is it a security risk? Yes. But so are all wireless cameras if you know what you’re doing.  

Answer 2

My pro 3 base station broadcasting too.  

Answer 3

They've all always broadcast. Unfortunately you can't change that

Answer 4

Having the base station in the middle between cameras is ideal. If the cameras are further apart, having multiple base stations is the next best solution
