Cameras that store footage on a local microSD card or a Network Video Recorder (NVR) keep your data off the internet. Cloud-based systems are convenient but mean your video lives on a company's server.
If the answer to any of these gives you pause, rethink your setup. True security isn’t just about watching—it’s about respecting boundaries, both digital and human.
If privacy is your top priority, look for systems that support NVR (Network Video Recorder) or SD card storage . This keeps your footage on your own hardware, off the internet entirely.
