Does it have a local, i.e. 'save to NAS' option? Are there ongoing costs like the Logitech Alert system?

- soylentcola 11y agoNo and yes. Plenty of "buy once" IP cameras out there in prices ranging from $100 up to $500+ for the fancier Axis cameras and the like. They save to local storage like a NAS or an old PC in the closet running iSpy (and saving to Drive or Dropbox if you want online backups). And most importantly for me: they have no recurring costs other than electricity. I don't want online storage to be the only option because network connectivity drops sometimes. Not too often but more often than I lose power. And I certainly don't want yet another monthly bill. I understand that there are plenty of customers who would rather pay $10-15/mo for something they can just plug in rather than spending $300+ on a NAS or low powered PC. I'm just not one of them.
