A:Answer I would strongly suggest watching a video online on how to set up the camera...before trying to set it up with just the instructions that come with it. It is not difficult to set up for someone who is not much of a tech person...like me. It is probably easy to set up for someone who is tech savvy.
I am not sure I can answer the second part of your question...the only way I know that it saves a video is to a cloud owned by the company. Circle 2 camera comes with minimal cloud storage. If you want to use it as a 'security camera' you will probably want to purchase additional cloud storage. The company does not give the user other options for storage, I guess for security reasons??? I do like the availability of the option of saving individual clips to send to others if needed. It also has a handy option of looking at the day in video in fast motion in a 60 second clip.
My opinion is that if you are looking for a 'security camera', this may not be your best option... although it may be the cheapest and easiest to set up. I use my camera for convenience...just to know when the kids get home or a package is left on my porch etc. If you are seriously needing a security camera system, I would consider consulting an expert.
