A:Answer Hello Kevin, thank you for your question. This kit does not record 24/7 as it includes an SD card and not a hard drive to minimize the cost that we pass on to our customers. Only our DVR/NVR recorders that include a hard drive can be set to record 24/7. Please note that in either case, you do not need internet for your system to operate locally. Your DVR supports recording to either a 3.5” SATA or a 2.5” SATA hard drive that is surveillance-rated, such as the Western Digital Purple™ and Seagate Skyhawk™ range of drives. Hope this helps.
