I am still shocked that so many people are okay with cloud-based camera systems. It just seems like a security and privacy nightmare.

Granted, setting up a DIY NAS to host a server and store footage is a whole technical challenge for most people, but still...

Thing is, Ubiquiti cameras aren't cloud based. At least not to the same extent. The authentication system is cloud based, but the controller and storage is local.

You can pay for several years of a cloud subscription for the cost of either a NAS or a Ubiquity storage server.
