Review: Upgrading the Smart Hub - I wanted to upgrade our old Smart Hub and I connected this new one while living the old one online. I needed to upgrade because one of the cameras got disconnected to the old hub and wouldn't reconnect and I tried installing new batteries and it still wouldn't work. Then once I connected our cameras to this new Smart Hub, it was easy and it recognized the cameras instantly. Now the old smarthub is disconnected. The cameras are working fine now!
Review: Works great - Had to reset twice but once the 3 cameras were picked up by the hub they work great! So good in fact I had to tweak the settings and turn off motion and just leave on person, package, animals, entry and now the notifications are more manageable. Low cost and reliable system and I would definitely recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the purpose of the base station if recording is done via the cloud & subscription service,  looking for system that didn’t need subscript?**
A: The base station (if it supports your model camera(s)/doorbell(s)) allows you to record to local storage instead of the cloud service and provides a wireless connection point to do so instead of using your home WI-FI. It also handles connectivity to the internet for your camera(s)/doorbell(s)). So basically keeps your recordings private to you. 

HOWEVER, I personally haven’t seen any information on whether it supports the full range of additional features you get “activated” with the cloud subscription. Thinking the sparse nature of that information would be because it doesn’t/won’t. 
After all, they want your subscription dollars. It’s also why this thing is so pricey.

**Q: Unhappy w/no arlo pro support anymore. i already have free weekly storage with my kit. now 12-1-21 can’t access music while camera is on??**
A: Arlo support was great the second time I called....

**Q: H11 and essential cameras. What’s the cheapest base station that will work with both? Or is their one that will?**
A: I Donna! Mine is on the fritz!

**Q: in the description there is vma5400c, this is the same as vmb4540, because in the arlo models i can't find the vma?**
A: The VMA5400C is the Dual Battery Charger and the VMB4540 is an Arlo Smart Hub.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Upgrading the Smart Hub

### ⭐ New version of Arlo app doesn't support local video playback
*by J***E on March 19, 2024*

OK, so the purposes of this hub are twofold: one, to act as a wifi hub so the cameras aren't on your "regular" wifi, and two, to record motion events locally so you're not dependent on the Arlo cloud service. Well, it does the first one fine. The second, however, has been rendered ineffective by Arlo in their latest app update. The current app is actually TWO apps rolled into one. If you have any newer Arlo hardware, it forces you to "upgrade" to the new app because the old app isn't compatible. The new app is apparently incompatible with a few of the very oldest Arlo cameras, but that's not unexpected. The new app has a a screen called the "feed". This is where all the latest events show up, such a motion detection by your cameras, home/away mode changes, etc. The problem with the Arlo hub is, it USED TO have motion events show up there, but Arlo changed the app so they only show video motion events that are in *cloud storage with Arlo*. Cloud storage costs $7 per camera per month. Oh, you can *access* the hub stored videos, if you're the account owner only, if you go three levels into the hub settings screen, and you know which video you want by time stamp because there's no thumbnails, and you're willing to download the video file to your phone and watch it on your phone's video player. Alternately, you can pull the USB thumb drive out of the hub and insert it into a computer and view the files that way. The practical upshot is, Arlo nerfed the main functionality of the app with the hub because they want you to be paying a monthly fee. The fact that this renders the hub little more than a cheap wifi hub with local video backup rather than a useful part of the video surveillance system apparently does not concern Arlo. In fact, they are so unconcerned that they continue to sell this $100 box that DOESN'T WORK WITH THEIR APP ECOSYSTEM, because I guess they had a lot of them manufactured and can only get rid of them by pretending they still work with their new app mode? The worst part is, whether the app starts up in the "old" mode or the "new" mode is stored in your user account configuration on Arlo's servers, so once you upgrade to this newer app mode, there is no way to go back. Even downloading an old version of the app that doesn't HAVE the new version rolled into it doesn't work, because it simply won't let you log in. If you're using the old version now and don't upgrade, this hub will probably work fine for you. At least it'll work fine FOR NOW. At some point you know Arlo will force people into the new app ecosystem in order to push their monthly cloud service, and at that point, the hub will be pointless.
