Cloud subscription pricing intentionally starts at $0 until you enter the plan you would actually purchase.

02 / THE INSTALLATION TEST

What else you need.

Wi-Fi/internet for cloud video, included Chime Pro; no local recording.

Hardware that stores data locally can still depend on a vendor account, app activation, supported firmware or an internet connection for certain functions.
