How to keep starred videos from being automatically deleted?

Hello, I was wondering if adding a local hard drive attached to the base station will keep favorited videos longer than the 30 days allotted to users that have that plan. Let’s say if I have a 2 TB hard drive attached and go through my videos daily and star important ones, will I be able to keep starred videos older than 30 days assuming I have less than 2 TB worth of videos?

Starred vids are not locked, they just mean favorite....

you basically have two choices;

1) down load them to a local device

2) with a Pro or Pro2 base use a usb device with a good amount of storage... the vids go to the cloud and the backup device at the same time... I run a 32 Gb speed stick and it really is plenty, they stay untill its filled

Hi, so the recordings will stay in my local storage pass the 30 days just as long as there is enough room in the hard drive?
