Not unless you use something else to connect to the Internet.
The Pro 2 stuff works like this.
You have an internet connection, usually through a modem and router.
You plug your Pro Base Station/Hub into the router to get to the internet.
The cameras use wifi to communicate with the hub.
The hub sends your recordings over the Internet to a "cloud" store that feeds you back your recordings when you want to see what has has happened.
Your hub also has a slot for a memory chip. But that's just a backup.
How do I set up local storage backups on a USB device using my Arlo base station?
How do I view videos saved on a local storage USB device?
