Most of the brands and models available in the market today are not capable of storing any events that are recorded unless you avail their cloud storage offer. While you can still see events as they happen, you will not be able to record it. So when there is someone stealing from you in your porch, you will not be able to record and show it to the authorities if you do not subscribe to the manufacturer’s cloud service. Some companies offer package bundles. For instance, they can save your recordings for 60 days and charge you $3 for every month or $30 annually.
