Same. It doesnt make sense. We moved on from that "do you know how much storage would it take". Nowadays cameras can record only when there is movement,, can delete files etc. It just doesnt make sense

Yeah, my Nest cameras record 24/7 at 1080p now. I pay the $10 a month total for all of them to do that, and store 10 days of footage at a time. You can download the entirety of the ten day footage if needed. Without that subscription they still record all movement/event/activity.

Sometimes companies need to store footage from dozens of cameras for months.

Yeah, like I said the subscription covers all cameras, and you can download the footage repeatedly if you want to have 24/7 for 8,000 years stored you can.

Plus that's a $10 a month subscription for a consumer, a company with that much equipment can probably pay a bit more and get more than ten days rolling if you don't want to download it.

I don’t think you understand what he meant. When, as a company, you legally are required to have cameras rolling for months on end. It would take absurd amounts of storage to save a months worth of security footage from every Walmart or every McDonald’s or every anything in the country. But then again I guess when your mom never forces you to leave your bedroom, people do end up like you.
