Two arlo base stations in the same house

[rissanando]

Can you host operate two Arlo camera systems (Base stations) under the same household…for example if I have an Original Arlo security system with base station could I add Arlo Pro system with base station without compromising the frequency which each unit operates under?

Yes. I have two. If your house is large, this is a good way to get better camera-base signal strength for all of them. What happens is the cameras are separated to each base

Eg Pro base has cameras A, B, C
Original base has cameras D, E

You can set each base to run different modes on different schedules etc

You can't cross trigger cameras on the different bases though. If you wanted, camera A motion could trigger camera B or C to also record but not cameras D or E.

If the signal is good to all cameras, you'd probably be better off just using the Pro base because it has USB backup in the event of internet loss as well as the built in siren.
