Wifi went down, 2 cameras stopped capturing/recording, one continued

Our wifi went out in the entire neighborhood yesterday around 2:30pm. My hardwired spotlight camera stopped capturing at 2:57pm (is set for capture every 30 seconds), my garage doorbell camera stopped capturing at 4:00 pm (is also set for capture every 30 seconds), and my front door doorbell camera never stopped capturing (set for every 3 minutes capture). The spotlight camera and the garage doorbell camera both resumed capture/recording when the wifi was restored at 5:45pmHow is this possible? Should they all have continued to capture even though the wifi was out? If so, then any ideas why they did not?

    This does not answer my question at all. The outage happened at 2:30, and the cameras stopped recording after that, NOT BEFORE.My question was, and still is, SHOULD THE CAMERAS CONTINUE TO CAPTURE/RECORD EVEN THOUGH THE WIFI IS OUT? (One did, two of them did for a while and then stopped at different times)Checking my RSSI during a wifi outage would be kind of dumb, because when the wifi is out there is not connection.I have to wonder if you even bothered to read or comprehend my question…..All 3 came back on as soon as the wifi was restored. I had no problems BEFORE or AFTER the outage, only DURING, and that is the time that my question addresses.Now, can I get an answer for my question?
