The flaw in this (beyond privacy) is you lose functionality when you lose communication with the cloud. |
Yes but it seems that's where everything is headed. I do have an older d link camera that records to a local dvr. If the internet goes down it will still work but not my nest doorbell. There is a doorbell made by a company called la view that can also record to a local dvr so it shouldn't need an internet connection. My garage cam has an sd card slot so that should work as well if I use it but cloud storage means the footage isn't lost if the as card or dvr is stolen.
