https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Wire-Free-Cameras/Arlo-essential-question/m-p/1916014#M8368 <P>Hello,&nbsp;</P><P>Bought my mother the Essentials cameras for her house not knowing there would need to be a subscription for that one after the trial. I have the pro2 that came with a rolling 7day cloud storage so I assumed hers would too. My mistake. Can I buy a hub for her for storage or is she stuck with the subscription only? Thanks.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 07 Jun 2023 23:14:33 GMT Scot71 2023-06-07T23:14:33Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Wire-Free-Cameras/Arlo-essential-question/m-p/1916014#M8368 <P>Hello,&nbsp;</P><P>Bought my mother the Essentials cameras for her house not knowing there would need to be a subscription for that one after the trial.
