FAQ

Questions, answered

Can I get security cameras with no monthly subscription?

Yes. Many modern cameras record to a local NVR or microSD card with no monthly fee, and include free remote viewing through the manufacturer's app. You only pay for the hardware and installation. Your matched installer can recommend no-subscription systems that fit your needs.

What do I lose by skipping a subscription?

Local storage and live viewing work fine without a subscription. You typically miss extended cloud storage history, advanced cloud AI features, and some person/vehicle recognition — though many cameras now offer on-board AI for free. For most homeowners, a no-subscription local system is plenty.

How much storage do I get without a subscription?

It depends on your setup. A local NVR with a hard drive can store weeks of continuous footage or months of motion-triggered clips, and microSD cards hold days to weeks depending on capacity and recording mode. Vetted pros size storage to how long you want to keep footage.

How much does a no-subscription security camera system cost?

Since you pay for hardware and installation up front with no ongoing fee, a no-subscription system typically runs in the mid-hundreds to low thousands installed depending on camera count and storage. Get free quotes from local pros to see your exact price — no obligation.
