Q: QuestionSo, other than the cloud storage, there is NO storage on the camera, or on your computer, or anywhere?

Asked 5 years ago by Barkerbo.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - XT2 3-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wire-Free 1080p Surveillance System - Black

• A:Answer Correct. The camera has no physical storage. Everything is stored via a cloud based storage. There is a limit to how much you can store though (length of clip, amount of clips, quality of recording, etc...) and you can set up how quickly you want to delete videos off the network. By default it will delete out videos automatically every 30 days.
