Hi, the Arlo Pro 5 cameras are compatible with the VMB4000 r3 station, and this works with no subscription required for the basic connection. You can synchronise them directly with your existing station, as confirmed in the official Arlo resources, although direct WiFi connection is also possible. For more details specific to your setup, I suggest you check the compatibility matrix on the Arlo website or consult the Arlo community. Thanks for your time!

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.

Thanks for pointing this out, the title is displayed incorrectly in English.
I have the cameras on wifi and it works well. They run on batteries. There would be a solar panel. I don't know any more because I don't need this information. Google knows the rest.

The camera does not support WPA3 from the start, but after firmware updates it can now be connected to WPA2/WPA3 networks. To do this, the camera must first be set up in a WPA2 network and the latest firmware installed; it then needs to be onboarded again in the desired WPA3 network. Direct WPA3 support has therefore been retrofitted by means of an update.

To answer your questions:
1. Compatibility with Arlo subscription and application: Arlo Pro 5 cameras are compatible with the Arlo Secure application, which allows you to manage all your cameras in a single application. This includes the Arlo Pro 4, so you can integrate both models into the same application.
2. Direct Wi-Fi connection: Yes, Arlo Pro 5 cameras connect directly to Wi-Fi. They support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, so you can choose the most stable band for your connection.

The battery of the Arlo Pro 5 lasts approximately four to six months, depending on the settings and usage. The official specification from Arlo is up to eight months, but this can vary depending on use.

It is not possible to store video directly to a NAS on the same Wi-Fi network when using the Arlo Pro 5 camera. The Arlo cameras support local storage via USB devices or microSD cards that need to be connected to specific base stations or SmartHubs, such as the VMB4000, VMB4500, VMB4540 or VMB5000. Direct storage on a NAS is not intended, as the Arlo systems are generally designed for cloud storage.
However, if you want to store videos locally, you can manually download them from the cloud to your computer and then move them to a NAS. Alternatively, you can use the Arlo base stations with a USB device to enable local storage.
There is currently no direct support from Arlo for automatic storage to a NAS.

Hello DukeX74
Unfortunately I don't know, as I only use Arlo cameras and have connected them directly to the WiFi network. I do not operate an Arlo base station.
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.

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.

I always order the compatible solar panel to ensure its autonomy.

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

The kit only includes the 4 cameras and their screw-on mountings.
The cameras are white.

I have 6 of them. In the front area, where movement is recorded several times an hour, I charge the battery approx. every 3 - 4 months. In the rear area, where around a dozen movements per day are recorded, every 5 - 6 months. Overall, I am pleasantly surprised by the battery life.
You have to buy the housing. I bought it as a complement to cameras with the box already installed.
A plan is not required.
