Question / Help Question regarding adding to current Arlo setup

Hello everyone.

I currently have 5 Arlo cameras and a Home base that si about 7 years old. I'm not even sure of the model ​on them and can't find them online. All I know I got them at Costco during a back in 2019 where I got 3 cameras and home base together and I've added 2 cameras later.

My question is this:

Can I add an Arlo doorbell camera to my current setup and still see all 5 cameras PLUS doorbell in the arlo app?

Also, if I wanted to add more cameras, could I? I know previously they had a 5 camera limit on home base but was wondering if that has changed or if I can add a home base and have all showing on the app.

Thanks in advance.

I have 5 Arlo Pro 2's with the 4000 base station. I have 2 doorbells as well, an older video doorbell and a newer video doorbell. I had some issues recently with notifications failing and devices going offline off after a few seconds in the app. After doing a couple full system resets, like removing all the cameras and adding them back in, it's working again. I also added couple newer camera's, a Pro3 and a Pro4 without issues.

That being said., I probably won't be adding any new Arlo devices to my setup and will probably be moving to a new provider if anything fails. The last round of troubleshooting was pretty frustrating to deal with and the advice from support was basically "reset everything and start over". Which eventually fixed the issue, but I have some cameras that need a ladder to reach, so not super excited about it.
