“What happens if internet goes down? What happens if my internet connection goes down due to a service interruption? Does that mean the cameras are useless without an active internet connection?”

• Correct, it won't work without an active Internet connection for this model. You'll have to look into the Arlo Q Plus, which adds a MicroSD slot for those scenarios when your Internet is down and it needs to save the video.

• Just like cars are useless without gas, cloud enabled cameras are useless without an Internet connection. The alternative is to store all your video locally in hard drives within the home, which can easily be destroyed or stolen by the very people breaking into your home. It's a trade off.

• They will still work but not able to connect to the Netgear Arlo cloud site to view and watch recordings. But yes, pretty much useless w/o Internet Connection. If you have the Arlo Q Plus, then it will work if Internet connection is down but only recording to SDCard but no capability to view live feeds

• Normally yes it will not work without internet connection. Camera sends recording directly to cloud based storage. I have read forums where you can send recordings to your own network.

• Unless you are on the same LAN, then yes. These require internet to view and only record to the cloud.
