How can I restart my Arlo Pro system without Smart? Is it reinstalling or deactivating?

[BrucieNB]

I've had 4 Arlo Pro cameras working perfectly since 2017.

I review devices for Amazon, and last year reviewed a more recent Arlo setup and in doing so, my current cameras and not the new ones were set up for Arlo Smart operation.

It is a year on now and that subscription - which wasn't actually wanted - has expired, taking down my cameras.

How can I get them going again - without Smart? Is it just a case of disconnecting them and reinstalling? Or can I kludge it by deactivating them, then setting up a wholly new account and reinstalling?

I don't need cloud storage or any form of smart operation.

I'd prefer not to ditch the Arlo setup and buy from a different manufacturer as I have been very happy with my present cameras.

I guessed there should be a means. I found where to cancel the subscription and after I'd gone through a number of questions, it let me do so and now the cameras are working as they originally did.

Reassuring.
