Function without using storage?

[tycwong]

Dear Arlo Customer Service,

I am writing to inquire about the functionality of your doorbell product. As I do not require any recording function for the ringbell camera, I would like to know if it's possible to utilize its primary features such as real-time surveillance and motion detection without the need for any form of storage.

Best regards,

YM

"It depends." (TM)

When connected to a SmartHub you can use local recordings to record anything that would otherwise go to the cloud. If that's not what you're after, exactly what's your scenario? Define "real-time surveillance" - live viewing to see what's going on? Motion detection will work but without cloud or local recordings that's the only thing you'll get.

Specifics would be useful.
