No.  You could use the Pro 4 (and Pro 3 Floodlight) instead.  Both can connect to your home wifi.  They are 2K (not 4K), but in practice there isn't a big dropoff.  The field of view is a bit smaller, and neither have the wind noise reduction on the audio.  But overall they are a reasonable substitution for the Ultra/Ultra 2.

 

Note that you will need a paid subscription for cloud storage, and local storage isn't possible w/o a base station.

Yes there is a way but  as @StephenB  said you need a subscription for cloud storage for recordings

No. Arlo's cloud is where the cloud recording in the library are stored.
