Can the pro4 be monitored without a subscription?

Will the videos remain in the monitoring app until I delete them?

The subscription is to provide cloud services such as storage and smart detection.

 

To be able to local record you would need a smart hub for app access or a base with backup storage device enabled that you view USB files on a pc.

 

read carefully,

Just to add further, cloud storage drops recordings after 30days typically depending on region.

 

Using the base they are retained depending on the storage device size so can be a lot longer.

 

 If you’re using the direct storage access feature your viewing capability is still reduced to 30days but later files can be still accessed using a pc USB removed of course.
