Would buying a smart hub keep me from having to pay a monthly fee?

It depends. If you need activity zones, then you either need to connect the camera to AC power or you need a subscription. Smart notifications are also a subscription feature.
Some folks here do use the "direct access to local storage" feature instead of a subscription. IMO it's not a great user experience. Limitations include:
- Recordings only available in the app (not the browser).
- Recordings only available from the primary account (not "friend" accounts).
- No ability to save snapshots or take manual recordings.
- Videos need to be downloaded to the phone to view.
- No thumbnails
- Remote access requires router setting changes that some find difficult (and which won't work with some internet service providers).
