In the event of a burglary, if the theft destroys your NVR(source of recording) on the way out your evidences goes with it.
IP-Cams have 2 modes, paid cloud hosted recording and localized recording with its own memory storage. This makes all your IP-Cam decentralized at home more ideally safe.
You can hide several of them scattered in your house from plain eye sight and the thief who breaks in would have to find every single one of them to destroy the evidence.
If they're on cloud recording live, even if the physical cam is destroyed you're still safe.
NVRs which are centralized is way more susceptible for burglars to attack only a single point and everything that is linked to it is gone.
Yes.
I have a NAS on 24/7 which can record from multiple IP cameras simultaneously, either to the NAS itself or to the cloud.
However I still prefer to let Xiaomi Cloud 'Mi home app for home automation' (comes with Xiaomi IP cameras) do the job as it is very easy.
The
notification on mobile and its settings can be tweak to your requirement.
At its most sensitive level, it can detect a small insect flying past and notify you within seconds but with six cameras, 3 overseas and 3 in Johor, it quite a tasks to monitor.
The free recordings is upto one month for every camera. The recordings can be downloaded if you get notifications. The recorded clips (mentioning persons recorded) with time stamped can then be downloaded. It is convenient and one can make a polis report immediately wherever you are.
