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.
My point still stands, if the cloud data gets leaked, what are you as an end user is supposed to do?
Other than complaining, your data is already leaked out there, footage of your house is out there.
And cloud, how are they able to offer the user cloud storage? By charging, and what quality can they store? 2MP and no more higher, if someone has a 4 or even 8MP camera, then how? Do this cycle for a few months or even years, and you can even out the cost with just having another onsite backup thats discreet.
If a thief deliberately targets someone's NVR after a break in, do you think that target is like a random residence in a random taman? That sounds more like an organized crime targeting someone high profile. Hide it/put it somewhere hidden from plain sight, dont tell me if you keep your recorder in a random hidden drawer somewhere and the thief is still able to find it after rummaging through all of the stuff.
What brand of cloud? DH/Hik, both Chinese brand. Not saying that they are not good for their price, but considering they're ultimately chinese owned entity, and they have had security issues in the past, Id rathef just buy into their hardware and not touch any of their cloud solutions
