Are the cameras connected to your smarthub?  Or are they connected to your home wifi?

Hi Guru,

They are connected to my home wifi.

Local storage only works for cameras that are connected to the hub.

If these are Gen 2 cameras, they cannot be connected to a hub yet - Arlo says they will add that feature, but no details on when.
