A:Answer You can connect your Arlo Essential wire-free camera to a VMB5000, VMB4540, VMB4500, or VMB4000 SmartHub or base station. You can stream up to a theoretical maximum of 15 Arlo cameras at the same time, but this is dependent on your system set up and your Arlo Smart plan. Additionally, you might not be able to stream from all five cameras per SmartHub or base station if your WiFi network has limited bandwidth or if you are uploading other files while Arlo is streaming.
