Answer

Without a cloud subscription, you can still view live video on your smartphone, but you will not have access to recorded video history, such as footage from an hour or a day ago, unless you use local storage with a compatible Arlo SmartHub or base station. Local storage requires a supported hub and a USB device or microSD card, and is not available directly on all camera models without additional hardware. If you do not subscribe and do not use local storage, only live viewing is available; there is no option to review past recordings.
