Arlo Technologies Inc. VMB5000-100NAS Gen 5 Entry Hub

Product Description

The ARLO TECHNOLOGIES INC. VMB5000-100NAS is a fifth-generation entry hub designed to serve as the central communication bridge for a compatible Arlo security camera system. The hub connects wirelessly to Arlo cameras and routes video data, alerts, and device commands through a local network to paired devices and cloud services. Installation is typically handled by low-voltage security technicians, IT integrators, or experienced DIYers deploying residential or light-commercial surveillance setups. The VMB5000-100NAS represents the hub hardware component only and requires compatible Arlo cameras and a network connection to operate as a complete system.

This hub is suited for residential and light-commercial security applications where centralized camera management is required. It acts as the local base station, reducing reliance on direct Wi-Fi pairing for each individual camera and allowing a single network connection point to manage multiple devices. Typical installs place the hub near a router or network switch with easy cable access and a stable power source.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a low-voltage security technician or qualified integrator. Power down and disconnect any existing hub before swapping hardware on an active system. The hub should be connected to a router or managed switch via a wired Ethernet connection for best reliability. Follow all local low-voltage wiring codes and the manufacturer setup guide before commissioning cameras on the new hub.
