In embodiments of camera data access based on subscription status, a camera device captures and communicates video to a server device that receives the video, and records and maintains the video as remotely recorded video. An application implemented by a client computing device provides all access, some access, or no access to the remotely recorded video at the server device based on a subscription level corresponding to the camera device. The server device manages subscription levels associated with the user of the camera device, the subscription levels each delineating a level of access to the remotely recorded video. A first subscription level provides access to the live video captured by the camera device, and at least a second subscription level provides access to both the live video and the remotely recorded video at the server device.
