Local vs cloud recording: What's the difference?
Local recording saves to an SD card inside your camera — no cost, no internet needed. Cloud recording uploads to company servers — requires subscription, accessible from anywhere. Use both for maximum safety.
Local recording stores video on a physical SD card in your camera — it's free but needs physical access to the camera to get the video. Cloud recording saves video to remote servers online — it costs money but you can watch from anywhere. Most people benefit from both methods for backup and safety.
