I have 4 of the Arlo Pro 5S Cameras. I don't see my camera listed for this device. Is this the correct/best Hub to use with my camaras? I find the descriptions and information especially on the Arlo website to not be informative. A good comparison between the Arlo hubs (I think there are 3 available) would be useful. Also what type and size (max GB) of micro SD cards can be used/recommended for this device.
The Ultra SmartHub (VMB5000-100EUS) is compatible with Arlo Pro 5S cameras and supports multiple Arlo camera models including Pro, Pro2, Pro3, Pro4, Pro5, Ultra, and Ultra2. It provides wired and wireless connectivity with dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and Ethernet LAN.
Regarding the comparison between Arlo hubs, the Ultra SmartHub (VMB5000) differs from other hubs like the VMB4540 mainly in Wi-Fi capabilities: the Ultra SmartHub supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, while the VMB4540 supports only 2.4 GHz. This can affect range and interference handling. The Ultra SmartHub also supports 4K streaming with compatible cameras and local storage via microSD cards.
For microSD card compatibility, the Ultra SmartHub supports microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards up to UHS-3 V90 class 10. The maximum size is not explicitly stated, but microSDXC cards typically support up to 1 TB, which is generally compatible with such devices. Using a high-speed UHS-3 V90 class 10 card is recommended for smooth 4K video recording and storage.
In summary: - The Ultra SmartHub is the correct hub for Arlo Pro 5S cameras. - It supports dual-band Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and local microSD storage. - Compared to other hubs, it offers better Wi-Fi performance and 4K streaming. - Use microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC cards, preferably UHS-3 V90 class 10, with sizes up to at least 1 TB.
