When you install your camera, you can connect it to the router’s 2.4GHz network band directly. Or, you may choose to connect the camera with wifi to an Arlo Smarthub model VMB5000 & VMB4540 or base station model VMB4500 & VMB4000. The Arlo SmartHub or base station doesn’t come inclusive in the Arlo camera package. You will need to purchase them separately. Using your Arlo camera with the SmartHub or Base Station installed will give you access to some additional features:


  • You can use local storage on an SD card in a VMB5000 SmartHub model or on a USB storage device connected to the SmartHub VMB4540 or a base station VMB4500/VMB4000.
  • You can also use direct storage access for SmartHubs VMB5000 and VMB4540.

If you are using an Arlo SmartHub or Base Station to manage your Arlo cameras, you can move the wifi connection to them. Here are some steps you can follow to do that:


  • Launch the Arlo app on your smartphone. You may also choose to sign in using the my.arlo.com web address.
  • Add the SmartHub or base station to the same Arlo account that your camera was connected to originally.
  • You can follow the in-app instructions to set up your SmartHub/base station and connect it to the internet.
  • Tap on the Settings button and then select My Devices from the menu.
  • Select your camera now.
  • Scroll down on the screen and tap on the Remove Device button. Your device will now be reset and removed from the Arlo account.
  • Now, again go to the My Devices section and tap on the Add New Device button. Head to the Cameras section and click on the Essential button.
  • You can now follow the on-screen Arlo app instructions to add your camera.

Once the Arlo camera detects the Smarthub/base station, you can follow the in-app instructions to connect them.
