    VMB4000 Replacement
    Picked up as replacement hub for my pro 2 kit and have encountered no issues setting up or using features like local storage through the arlo app. Only complaint is the price really

    smart hub
    The vmb4540 is not clearly defined: videos do not work on a PC, only on an adroid app; the information stated it would work. Adding that feature of viewing local storage on a PC would be belpful. Our understanding was also that cloud viewing would be available without a subscription for 1 year…that’s inaccurate. A lot of the information about subscription is confusing.

    New version of Arlo app doesn’t support local video playback
    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.

    Good Value. Saves the need to buy on line storage
    The smart hub saved me from buying the on line exorbitantly priced storage. It works well and is easy to set up but finding where to view the recordings via the app is not obvious. Once found it is easy to see each incident. The app could be improved in this area.

    It works.
    It works, but there are cavity. One for $100 no built in storage is crazy. Next, if you want local only no subscription you lose half the camera features. And finally, the app is setup like crap for it. Otherwise works fine.

    USB 2 is a must
    Make sure to use USB 2 flash driveIt has issues with USB 3Too early to say on quality and overall product review. Documentation can be better, specifically pointing out USB version.

    En un inicio lo adquirí solamente para que una mis cámaras Ultra pudiera funcionar, pero ha funcionado mejor de lo que esperé, me ha ayudado a que en las demás cámaras ( Arlo 4 ) pueda sacarles todo el provecho, pues ahora tengo transmisión en 2K en vivo, además de que el tiempo de respuesta de las cámaras mejoró muchísimo

    I got this so that I could connect my Arlo doorbell to it and watch the recorded videos from my phone as the base station that came with my Arlo cameras didn’t allow for that without a subscription. This did the trick and has allowed me to playback the camera footage from my phone. There is a delay when watching live footage but not enough for concern in my opinion. I recommend this for those that want to review the video from their external hard drive without having to disconnect it from the base.

    Tengo 4 cámaras ARLO Essencial y mejoró bastante la velocidad de respuesta de las cámaras. La imagen tardaba mucho en llegar a mi celular y eso ya se corrigió. Graba en el USB muy bien aún cuando no estoy dentro de Estados Unidos. Lo único que no he podido corregir es que no puedo visualizar los videos grabados si no estoy en casa. No sé cómo corregirlo.

    Es tercera vez que compro uno de estos, están hechos para quemarse al poco tiempo. No importa si lo tienes en un UPS, nobreak, regulador. Se termina quemando y tus cámaras salen sobrando. No recomiendo arlo para nada. Prácticas abusicas por parte del la app para comprar el espacio en la nube, son lentas, y la atención no es buena. Recomiendo otras marcas.
