Support more storage options

[P-LEE]

There are 2 type of markets:

Group#1: You have the none-techincal people, who just want to turn everything on, and start using it as a "for dummies" style. Everything is simplifed and beautifully presented to them without need to know all the technical stuff. They are welling to pay a reasonable fee for making their life easier.

Group#2: On the other hand, you have the computer geeks, like myself, would prefer my recordings goes to local NAS and then automatic synced to my OneDrive, this way I get a copy locally and a backup copy in my cloud. I know how to configure it, am familar with troubleshooting if have a problem. and frankyly I couldn't care less about the the nice interface after it has been configured. And i don't want to pay for more money when I already got tens of GB of cloud storage available at my dispose.

I see Arlo is satisfying only group#1, and making some money off the subscription. But I think group#2 would prefer an IP camera over Arlo partly due to the space limitation. If Netgear can support pushing recording to various cloud storages (local NAS, OneDrive, Amazon Cloud, Dropbox...etc), then you might get more share of group#2 market.

Netgear is deficient in many issues for its users. Local storage. Windows phone app. Latent motion detection.

Also if using your own storage enable the constant recording.  I can understand paying for Cloud even though Netgear is probably backing this with AWS and S3 but seriously using our own NAS devices would give Netgear a huge egde over Drop/NestCam and others. 

This should be on the top of the priority list!

Major players in the tech market were told "its coming"

"Netgear did assure us that they had no qualms in enabling local recording of the video stream (either to storage attached to the Arlo hub or a ReadyNAS unit in the same local network)"

Yes! Thanks for the info!

I love that it's been changed to future consideration instead of just doing it...changing the thread status doesn't fix it and doesn't really appease consumers

But it makes Netgear feel all warm and fuzzy saying that they are considering it.

Enable Offline Storage!!!! dont just consider it!
