A:AnswerComes with mounts, I bought the 4 camera setup so I got 2 screw-in mounts and 2 magnetic mounts. I purchased additional screw in mounts from amazon for 12.00( 3 additional mounts) just so I would have enough of whatever mounting system I wanted to use. I also purchased 4 25 ft charging cables from amazon( 28.00 for 2 cords) and plugged in the new cameras the new cords attach at the bottom magnetically which is very easy to work with and very convenient. Constant power on the cameras allows all of the nice upgrades to work like the 3 second look back feature no more missing what motion triggered the cameras
A:AnswerYes, they will store power and work at night. The solar panel needs to be facing some sort of sunlight during the day to maintain the charge. You can use the phone app and click on the device and device settings and it will show the percent of the charge and a symbol if it is charging at that moment. There have been two times that I have gotten the notification that it is too cold for my battery to charge. But even so, it has still charged later in the day. They have been installed since Dec 27th and they have remained charged and active during both day and night. Maintaining 97% to 100% daily. The lowest percentage was during 4 days of rain and clouds which for a short period of time dipped to 90%.
The Arlo Pro 3 camera with the Pro 3 solar panel works and maintains its charges far better than the Arlo Pro 2 and Pro 2 solar panel.
A:AnswerPlease note that expected battery life for Arlo Pro 3 cameras is approximately 3-6 months with average use as detailed here: https://kb.arlo.com/1202753.

A:AnswerThank you for your interest in Arlo! At Best Buy, the white Arlo Pro 3 cameras are available in 2, 4 & 6 camera kits. A 3 camera kit is available here https://www.arlo.com/en-us/products/arlo-pro-3/default.aspx ^KN
A:AnswerBring the camera in and plug in with the included chord. Super easy. Or do what I did and purchase a stand alone charger and two extra batteries so it’s an easy swap and no lag in monitoring
A:AnswerYes it will work. I do not have either as well. However you will need to download the Arlo app and pay $9.99 per month to have the recording options with the live feed. I was hesitant at first but I will subscribe once my 3 month free trial is over. The camera catches everything and it is nice that it breaks it down into clips with time and dates. Much easier then having to scroll through a bunch on film. There is a spot in the back of the hub for a USB that you can put a thumb drive or something as a backup.
A:AnswerNo, the Arlo SmartHub needs to be connected wired to your router via ethernet cable. You may use a network switch to add more ethernet port into your network. ^RM
A:AnswerThe WIFI range is pretty good. I have the base station in my living room and have no problems connecting to any of the cameras in my home. The furthest is on the garage, 3 walls probably 40 feet and no problems. FYI for reference 2 story 3100 square foot home.
A:AnswerThe hub is needed to connect Arlo products. It connects to your home internet via Ethernet cable. Then the hub sends the WiFi signal to the cameras and other products. The hub also has usb that can allow for local storage instead of all cloud based.
A:AnswerIf you’re talking about adding the pro and pro 2 to the vbm4540 that comes with the pro 3. Yes you can, I would not add pro 3 cameras to older base stations since they aren’t fully compatible.
A:AnswerNo, it came with two each of the types of mounts. maybe open your next one in store to make sure it has everything included or contact Arlo to see what they say? I hope this was helpful.
