What local storage changes

These security cameras list local recording to a microSD card or built-in storage, so recording does not depend on a cloud plan. The cloud column shows whether the manufacturer's cloud history needs a subscription.

Values come from each model’s specification record and have not been independently tested. Confirm storage limits and plan details with the manufacturer for your region.

Before you buy

Local storage checklist

Check the maximum card size and whether a card is included. Many cameras ship without one.
A subscription can still unlock cloud backup, longer history or some detection features. Compare the brand's plans with the features you need.
Clips stored only on the camera are lost if the camera is stolen or damaged. A home hub, NVR or RTSP recorder keeps a copy elsewhere.
RTSP lets compatible recorders and Home Assistant read the video stream on your local network.
