Temporary Local Storage - Camera Internally

[newyozziecams]

Hi,

I was wondering how Arlo deals with the following scenario, and whether the cameras have internal storage.

Take for example a power outage which would mean the base station is offline. Does video in these types of events still get captured on the camera and stored locally once the base station come back online? Or is this video lost for ever?

Cheers

The Go 2 camera has internal storage (it accepts a microSD card), the other Arlo cameras do not.  So anything that happens when the base is off-line or not reachable is lost.

FWIW, I think it would be good if the cameras did have some internal storage.

There's actually an easy fix. Install a UPS for your modem, router and hub (if you have one) and most power outages simply won't matter. This has worked well here for years.

That covers the power loss case, but not a temporary connection loss (including a wifi jammer).  So I think some internal storage would still be really useful.
