Question

Hello group!  I got a question.Hello group! I got a question. I have purchased an Arlo camera set thru Amazon about 2 years ago and when I got them in they are all labeled netgear instead of arlo I know there the same but was wondering. What’s the big difference between the two? I am wanting to add in cameras and was wondering if I could add an Arlo camera to the netgear hub.  

Answer 1

Netgear owned Arlo. About a year or so ago Arlo separated. In theory no difference. They are just Arlo now.

@locule6011 ok. on my netgear I cannot 2 way on them . If I was to buy an Arlo camera will it work on the netgear system?

@knott does your camera required the 4 batteries? Or a single block? The original arlo (4 batteries) dont have 2 way. If you buy the same, it still wont. If you buy pro, pro2, pro3, or ultra, it will have 2 way

---

@locule6011 yes mine has the 4 Batteries in the camera

---

But the new to 2 ways. Will they sync with the router I have now now ? since it is older

@knott if you buy an arlo (non pro), it will still not be a 2 way even though its arlo not netgear. If you buy any of the pro or ultra, yes, it will be a 2 way. My pros do work on my original base station. But I cannot guarantee every single one will. What you can do, though, is get an updated phase station and your original cameras (with 4 batteries) can be paired to the new base station.

@locule6011 hmm yea. so you can buy a base station by itself?  

---

@knott yes you can. Or you can buy a pro camera with a base station as well.

@locule6011 ok cool Thank you!

@locule6011 i think there is a difference on the function, i bought an arlo with a new hub it has geofencing, the older base hub i buy 2nd hand is older no geofencing even if the softwares are up to date.

@androgynous my netgear base station and original arlo cameras have geofencing.

@locule6011 thats good it seems that there is no difference
