What is Local storage?
In short
Local storage saves recordings to a card or built-in memory in the monitor itself rather than only to the cloud.
Local storage means recordings are saved to a memory card or built-in memory in the monitor, so you can keep footage without a cloud subscription. ADC Solutions Auto, Amazon, Arenti, Baby Monitor Direct and Baby Plus all state that their monitors offer it, so it no longer separates them. The detail that still matters is capacity and how long clips are kept before they are overwritten, along with whether the card is included. Local storage also changes the privacy picture, since footage on the device stays under your control even if the cloud plan lapses.
