If You connect directly to a Smart Hub you can have local storage on that. If connected to wifi then the local storage is not an option.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 14 Oct 2020 19:57:55 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Wire-Free-Cameras/Essential-Subscription/m-p/1796491#M420 dcfox1 2020-10-14T19:57:55Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Wire-Free-Cameras/Essential-Subscription/m-p/1796506#M421 Thanks.
