Arlo Q plus Do I need a base unit also?

[Annamanda66]

I have not purchased one yet. Do I need a base unit also?

[lfdtousmc]

No.

Because Arlo conveniently fails to advertise that the Q family of cameras are stand alone systems and not designed to connect to the base station.

Arlo Q/Q+ connect directly to your router. Wire-free and Pro cameras require a base station. Take a look at the Arlo Q FAQ for more information on how Q and Wire-free cameras differ: Arlo Q FAQs
