To answer this question directly: no.
Your smart security camera mainly utilizes cloud storage for safeguarding your videos, giving you the freedom to access them from anywhere and at any time. When Motion Detection is activated, cloud video storage is a must. This ensures that all the videos triggered by detected movements are securely saved and can be accessed remotely when needed. Cloud storage uses data encryption protocols to prevent unauthorized access to your videos.
Inserting a microSD card into your smart security camera creates a local backup for your security videos. This means it keeps a duplicate copy of the videos that are also stored in the cloud, ensuring a fail-safe even if one storage option encounters any issues. However, it’s crucial to note that using a microSD card doesn’t cancel or prevent the use of cloud storage. In fact, they work concurrently, each providing a secure and accessible copy of your videos.
