All of the currently sold cameras require a subscription to get cloud storage.

If you purchase VMB4540 or VMB5000, you could use direct access to local storage instead of a subscription.

It's not the best user experience (lots of limitations), but there certainly are a lot of folks that do that.

That will work with all currently sold cameras.
