Or does it?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Next, I really do like the idea of a USB drive in the Hub.&nbsp; So, will I get recordings on the USB device should my internet connection go out?&nbsp; Seems I should because that is a dedicated WiFi conenction.&nbsp; I do know I will not get an alert on my phone, but in the event of a break in with internet out, I will have a recording from the Arlo cameras.&nbsp; My alarm system uses a dedicated cell system and does not depend on the internet.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>OK, would appreciate any corrections or clarifications.</P> Sat, 21 Nov 2020 00:15:34 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-3/Arlo-Pro-3-Mode-and-Internet-Questions/m-p/1801178#M6401 Retired_Member 2020-11-21T00:15:34Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-3/Arlo-Pro-3-Mode-and-Internet-Questions/m-p/1801217#M6403 <P>It sounds like geofencing would be your best solution with the Home setting being DIsarmed and Away using the Armed mode (or a custom one if you want).</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Local recordings will always be recorded regardless of Internet connection.
