Do I need a subscription if I have a hub?

[mrslady]

I have three cameras - 1 arlo 4 spotlight camera and 2 essential indoor cameras. I record everything to the Arlo pro smarthub. I want love

access as well as past access to videos via the app. Is it necessary to have the monthly subscription or can I view live as well as recorded hub videos from the app without it? Thank you!

For those cameras you would need a arlo smarthub model 4540 or 5000 to be able to view access the storage device with limitations.

Subscription allows you to use cloud storage and services.
