Disclaimers
- ¹Value if products purchased separately at the regular or Was prices.
- ²Requires an Arlo Secure paid subscription after the trial period, and some Arlo Secure services may be unavailable in certain regions. For current information on features that need a paid subscription, visit arlo.com/arlosecure.
- ³Apple Home compatibility requires connection to a compatible SmartHub or Base Station.
A: The Arlo SmartHub VMB5000 is compatible with the following Arlo products: Arlo Ultra, Ultra 2, Essential wire-free, Pro 3, Pro 3 Floodlight Camera, Pro 2, Pro, Wire-Free, Video Doorbell, and Audio Doorbell. ^KN
A: So many good questions and here are your answers: 1. Yes and no with the HDMI connection. Not a direct HDMI connection to the monitor from the base station, but through your desktop or laptop via online account connection. 2. Each camera will need it's own power source as the Arlo branded solar panel or extended magnetized power cord only has one charging connector. 3. Battery life is dependent on activation usage. Mine varies from 3 to 6 months depending on how often the motion sensor is activated and records, whether I have it activate spot light and siren or talk through it. It is dependent on usage. Your usage amount might be different from mine to the next person. I have a condo in the city that I haven't been back for a few months due to the high infection rate. My batteries will last about 6 months with about once every two week motion activation as the doorman delivers my mail and packages to my front foyer 5 minutes activation and spot lights per occurrence. My housekeeper once every three weeks for an hour to dust and maintain place, Occasional checking the place and panning around once after my housekeeper leaves for about a minute or two. So, not a lot of daily usage for my batteries to last at least 6 months before another charge. Hope this help. My suggestion would be before considering solar panels or wired connections, try using the system for a month and see how much battery life you have from your app. from your usage.
A: There are 2 power charging options: (1) Arlo Solar Panel Charger, (2) Outdoor Magnetic Charging Cable (25 ft). The solar panel has a built-in magnetic cable. The magnetic connection is on the bottom of each Ultra camera. Note: battery installation is still required but you won't need to remove them to for charging
Q: Is there a monthly fee for the system?
A: No. You do not have to have a monthly subscription. The system does come with a 3 month trial to Arlo Secure. Arlo Secure gets you 30 day storage up to 4k resolution and emergency response. If you don't have any subscription you are limited to a 7 day storage and I believe up to 2k resolution. I have attached a comparison of 3 Arlo plans.
Q: How far can the camera be from the base station and still transmit a clear signal?
A: You can place your Arlo camera a maximum of 300 feet (90 meters) from the SmartHub or base station. The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction between the camera and base station. The following materials reduce signal strength the most: Large quantities of water, such as the water in a fish tank or water heater Metal Glass, especially mirrors Ceramic Stone Concrete Brick Unusually thick walls and ceilings
A: The operating temperatures for Arlo Ultra 2 are: -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C). The Arlo Ultra 2 cameras work in a wide variety of weather conditions, including sun, wind, rain, and snow.^KN
A: The Ultra 2 does need a smarthub or base station to operate. However, once paired to a base station all devices can be managed through the Arlo app.
Q: The Arlo Ultra 2 support 1 TB Sd card and loop recording? Thanks.
A: I had the same question and Arlo support states, the base station VMB5000 supports micro-SD cards up to 256GB

Incredibly good products.
Incredibly good cameras but app is laggy in term of software and hardware issues within Arlo products, server, etc.. and not because of my iPhone 15 Pro Max’s hardware are weak It will be great if my system does not rely on Arlo at all but my base station and cameras are one system disconnected from arlo but connected to my wifi so it is perfectly independent of Arlo. I got 4 cameras for an incredibly good deal!!! I gave four stars so they are forced to keep on improving so struggling customers can have good experiences and enjoy good products!!! Over all I would give their products 5 stars but because the app is laggy in term of devices communicating with each other wirelessly etc.. they are always a few seconds behind. I have ATT Fiber so weak internet connection isn’t the problem. Their products have everything that I was looking for!!! Very easy to set up and install!!!! I love the charger a lot!!! I love how I can take out the batteries and charge them or charge them through wires!!! Also, Arlo needs to make it easy for customers to use third party products with Arlo systems like solar panels etc… I love the anti-theft lock and unlock feature to take out the batteries etc… Very thoughtful products but they can still be improved a lot and in so many areas!

Nice Pictures....
1). Too slow to capture. If a car enters my driveway, by the time they are shutting off their car, it finally starts recording. (YES - The sensitivity is adjusted) 2). Bait and switch - 4k - recording ONLY if I pay ARLO a monthly fee! So you DOWNGRADE my purchase if I don't pay you a FEE! Shameful... (YES - I KNOW I can still see {live} in a theoretical 4k if I'm home} - 3). Battery life!

Okay but not what I expected
Motion detection can be hot garbage at times and often I'll get videos that while the person is moving mid frame it stops video creating gaps in coverage where other times it records for 10 sec past the last movement. Clearly not 4k, download the videos directly off my 4k SD card and they are still too grainy to see a license plate unless they are close, feels like 720p or 1080p at best actually. Install and functionality is great but I bought these for 4k recording as a theft deterrent and I strongly feel they fall short on the primary function of high definition recordings. Despite having custom motion detection areas I feel the cameras struggle to recognize motion outside of a narrow focal range if you leave it wide open. I have a cam pointed at my front lawn with a sidewalk just above mid frame and it almost never picks up people walking past or up our stairs until they get almost to our door. As a camera system, I do like the ease of use and recording system with notifications but I'm dissappinted in the low rez quality and how it struggles to give me a complete video of a person moving within its field of view.
