No. Although it has the two ports, the ability to save local recordings was never implemented in your base.

Either

Get a subscription or
live without recordings

Not great news, I realize. But those are the options.

migrate to a 4000 base ( tho 5000 would b better ) and add a USB memory stick as backup

Yes, that would be another option (abandoning the VMB3xxx base, but keeping the cameras for now).

This is very disappointing. I'm sure there are many of us who paid good money for these cameras only to have EOL when they work just fine. I will definitely not be buying NetGear equipment in the future.

Nothing to do with Netgear, as they divested Arlo back in 2018.
