When camera is turned off using app device tab, does it disconnect the camera from Arlo's server?

When a camera is turned off using the app device tab does it disconnect the camera from Arlo's servers?
I read somewhere that turning a camera off only prevents it from functioning in the mode operation, which implies it is still accessible (viewable) from the Arlo servers.
Can anyone confirm?

When the camera is turned off, it still receives firmware updates. And the command to turn it back on also goes through the Arlo servers. So it is still connected.

The net here is that you need to trust the Arlo Cloud security if you use Arlo cameras.
