not sure about all that, I see another posted a reply that seems to allow app access remote - have not tried yet.

For continuous - I used an offline completely ,swann wired security system outside, and a secondary wired system from nightowl that has an app they say after setup never touches their servers, for remote access, also now has Human detection technology. - around $250 More expensive on the front end, and have to deal with wires, but keeps days worth of recordings, keeps it local - have not tried the app / remote access setups yet because I see a rabbit hole of getting into router settings for private network setup and all that. One of these days when it's more needed.
