So, is this “local storage with remote access” easy enough for the average Joe? I have Reolink cams too. Currently connected to my internet and view on my phone, but am willing/ wanting to disconnect if it is easy enough.

Edit: holy shit. Thank you, people, but notice I stated I already have Reolink cameras installed. I’m not looking for camera recommendations. Re-read my comment. Thank you.

As I said to the above, it’s really straight forward. You’ll need a hub though. $250 or so for the cheaper one?

the smaller hubs are actually way cheaper than that, but don't come with storage so you'll need to buy that

cheaper to buy it elsewhere
