Cloud ,Storage,SD cards,instant text or email why with anyone pay a company to use their cloud...m

Why would I pay a company to store my videos I have the pan V3 and the stationary V3 I use SD cards ,I can check all the videos I want, the whole thing or a few seconds, I can keep copies for as long as I want, I can select zones and motions, I can keep stills I can keep videos of anything I want, I get notifications and I can see the whole length or not it’s up to me for free…
clearly people don’t know how to use any of this because when my cameras pick something up I’ll get a text or an email within less than a minute, I can view any video for as long as I want store at any length, this is why I’ve been using this company for years the second the second they pull any of these options out of my control I’m done with them in the trash the cameras go… Paying this (or any) company so I can pick and choose facial recognition is silly a waste of time just another unnecessary bunch of steps and silly things to mess around with .I’ve had this camera for years,along with v3 pan, I’ve been using WYZE for years I plug it in I leave it, if my building maintenance comes in I can check it I can watch everything they do and keep it for eternity…

Been saying that for years. Welcome to the forum. I see you made your first post today. Congrats.

I’m kinda unsure of the exact context of yur msg… but here is an A to yer Q…

Neither of the cloud recordings, or, the local microSD cards are 100% reliable, for varying reasons… if you think about it. So… having both increases yer capabilities.

Also, my WCO batt-cam doesn’t even have normal microSD card recordings capability.

There are advantages to both cloud storage and local uSD card storage. I have almost 50 Wyze cameras and all of them have a uSD card set to continuous recording. I also have CamPlus Unlimited on all my cameras.

Biggest advantage of cloud storage is the AI processing, and the data is somewhere else. That way if the camera is destroyed / stolen, the video is somewhere else.

Biggest advantage of local uSD card storage is the ability to have continuous recording.
