Your best solution would be to buy a VMB4540 or 5000 SmartHub. You can then not only store videos locally without a subscription but also view them with the app. It certainly is not the same experience as with cloud recordings but may be adequate.

Are you saying that you cannot use the hardware w/o a subscription now? If you have five or fewer unsubscribed cameras, you should have the free 7-day cloud storage for your cameras.
