i have 2 essential cameras and doorbell and i am looking to add 3 more cameras
i currently have a subscription that allows me to track the cameras/doorbell on my phone app but its getting expensive with the more devices i add
is a base station cheaper to use but still allows most if not all of the functionality i currently have ?

You'd need a VMB4540 or VMB5000 to get direct access to local storage. List price for the (less expensive) VMB4540 in the US is $99.
Two individual camera subscriptions in the US cost about $10/month in the US, the unlimited camera subscription is $13/month. The delta is a bit less if you pay annually. So the payback period on switching to a smarthub is about 3 years (longer if annual payments). IMO not the best choice, as the experience isn't very good.
Limitations include
- recordings only available from the app (not the browser)
- recordings only available to the primary account (not friend accounts)
- no ability to make manual recordings or take snapshots
- no thumbnails, everything needs to be downloaded to the phone to view
- remote access requires router setting changes that some find difficult (and which won't work with some internet service providers)
Plus you lose activity zones and smart notifications.
