System overview questions

I am in the stages of researching my options and have some questions. PLease help me understand how the system and components integrate with eachother. What is the purpose for the base station? Is it that all devices connect to it and then it connects to the Internet?Can I store recorded video locally? If not, Why?Can I install a camera setup without the alarm system / keypad / base station?

      The base station is the "control unit" for the Ring Alarm. It uses z-wave to connect to all sensors, it also has the siren, and yes . . . it connects to the internet. If you do not have Ring Alarm then you will not have a base station.If you want local videos, you will have to download them. They do not record locally.Yes, you can have the cameras without the Ring Alarm. In which case there would be no base station or keypads.Ring Alarm and Ring Cameras are separate products, but they do have some integration if you wish to use them in that manner.

        You would need the Ring Alarm base and three door sensors. You can set the alerts as you wish. For the outdoor cameras, if you can run the ethernet, I would suggest POE elite model. As you now know, they will not record locally. Add as many indoor cams as you like. The smoke CO listener would a
