  if you want long term CCTV setup properly you should be using ethernet connected security cameras and then transmitting it back to a central server with a hdd always recording. It’s much more reliable and way more cost effective, just requires you running an ethernet cable to where the camera is.

    Yeah but the live feed and remote downloading sucks

      with ethernet the live feed is perfectly fine, and there is no remote downloading, it’s all streamed over the ethernet to a central box which handles everything from there. You might need some decode/encode capabilities, but to my understanding a lot of cameras will run multiple hardware encodes straight from the sensor over to the network already. So you probably don’t need much.

    It depends on the type of location, small remote locations might not even get their own local network

      yeah and at that point you’re probably not using a microsd card i would figure. You have a small computer in there already, might as well throw in an SSD or something.

      I guess if you needed the sheer capacity of 4TB you might use a micro sd, but you’re probably gambling more than you’re saving at that point.
