Using AC Power Only No Subscription. Does cable able to be disconnected and zone still intact?

Using the AC Power cable only no subscription. Once the zone is configured, does the cable able to be disconected and the zone still intact. Can a new zone be created, etc.?

I believe you’re referring to basic activity zones, these are only operational while external power is applied.
To have them operational on battery you need a subscription.
You don’t get the 3 second look back unless they are powered.

Yes I know, that is not the subject of my post. So .. how can you do basic zones unless you have a 50 ft power cable??

So you’re trying to operate a camera mounted 50ft away from the nearest power socket so you can enable basic activity zones with out buying and installing a power cable, correct.

Arlo wants you to pay more for that feature.

That is correct and I am not going to pay something that should be free like other vendors. Thanks anyway.
