What to check before buying.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers before you compare.
Does local mean no cloud account?
Not always.
Will it record in an outage?
Only while every required component remains powered.
Is microSD enough?
It can suit event recording; multi-camera continuous recording generally favours a hub or NVR.
