    yeah that’s definitely more sensible than what i had thought was going on lol. At that point i’d still probably write to the hdd directly, and use flash as a backup though. It’s also a lot more portable that way.

      The flash cards are onboard the cameras, silly as it is. So it’s super convenient, provided they don’t all corrupt at once.

      All cameras are well out of reach

        oh well that’s just stupid frankly. I understand why, to some degree. But that kind of nullifies the entire existence of security if yeeting the camera and yoinking the card removes any shenanigans that could’ve happened lol.

        meh, whatever.

          Well you’d have to climb a house or a tree in ways that would be quite acrobatic, again to multiple cameras at once. These are not casually available and even with a ladder are quite a dangle. The trees they are in are not “good climbing trees” at all.

          All while I’m getting alerts that there’s motion sent to email, (which I have greenlit to ping my notifications and buzz) and I could hit “backup” at any time by remoting to my PC and running the command.

          If a 5 man team is arriving with tools and ladders and is aware of my situation the game is over anyway and I’m just calling the cops.

              It’s true. 7 years and no failures yet, but my mere writing this will probably doom me.

              Again I’m only suggesting a minimum viable option to get off the teat of a subscription / cloud provider. Im not promoting this beyond that.
