If my internet connection fails (like during an internet outage), will my Arlo cameras still record to the USB Hard Drive I have connected to the base during the outage?

It is supposed to, but that isn't something I've tested.

 

It's not difficult to test though - you can simply disconnect the WAN cable from your router, and walk in front of the cameras. 

 

You could also disconnect the base LAN port, and do a similar test.
