Question regarding Arlo pro 3 2k

[maxikensega29]

Hello.

I am having trouble finding info regarding offline storage functions.

If i were to buy a 3 pack of arlo pro 3 2k cameras and a basestation. Will i be able to use all app related functions, movement activated cameras with notifications etc without paying a subscription? As long as i have local storage set up.

And will the app be able to play what i have on my local storage to my phone via the app, just like the old regular 7 day free cloud storage that Arlo for some reason removed.

I am not interested in a subscription and went for arlo simply because they offered 7 day free storage. Now when that is no longer i wonder if i can use the cameras in the same way but with local storage.

Thanks for answer.

Camera features available w/o a subscription (ignoring local storage) are described here: https://kb.arlo.com/000062312/What-options-will-I-have-when-the-Arlo-trial-ends

As far as local storage goes, there are some limitations:

• recordings are only available on the app (not my.arlo.com)
• recordings are only available using the primary account (not friend accounts)
• you cannot make a manual recording or snapshot 
• there are no thumbnails - recordings need to be downloaded to view.
• remote access requires either port forwarding or a VPN to be enabled in your router - many find that difficult.
