Local storage can go bad, and it also adds cost to the camera. But the most important reason you need streaming to a DVR is that the criminal could steal the camera and if it’s only using local storage, now your evidence is gone.

I do get the concern about general surveillance, but that’s not an argument your insurance company is going to accept.

Local storage is not built into every camera but locally centralized.

"Locally centralized" is a new one for me
