Local storage
my area is seeing bandwidth issues, with everyone staying at home.. I want a local DVR that uploads to ring after it does it work, setup with modes, or different cams upload in different ways. also the ring app needs to be able to view from the dvr, before going to ring servers.I want to be able to buy a local storage device. The device cache my video when my internet is down or my internet is slow. The device would also cache 1tb of videos so my app could play them with speed when there is bandwidth issues. The device would still upload to ring, just in a different way. For example, my out door cams could upload to both right away, but my indoor cams only upload to ring depending on my alarm mode or time of day. Eventually all data would still be uploaded.How will this help the consumer: It will make ring work faster at homes and businesses. No more latency issues causing sound and video issues. No downtime due to internet outages. Less impact on bandwidth when motion is detected or when reviewing the last 1tb of videos.How will this help ring: A device to sale creates revenue. Using locally stored video, has less backhual/work for ring servers. Less client downtime, when ring has outages, means more client satisfaction. Possible throttling bandwidth if setup with modes or only sending motion to ring. Coding could also happen locally, creating less of an impact on ring servers.

It looks like our voices were finally heard with Amazon/Ring finally announcing Ring Alarm Pro today. I will be looking into this a bit more but from the outset, it sounds like what most of us want.Edit:Looks like the new feature has a specific name called Ring Edge for local storage. See my new post and question regarding this feature. Slightly disappointed but better than nothing for now I guess.. I really hope at launch that users are not required to choose between cloud or local storage but just have things processed and stored locally only to have it uploaded to the cloud at a later time to make use of the 30/60 day cloud storage... Or have an ability where we can connect our own larger hard drives to store 30 days worth of footage like a traditional CCTV setup. A maximum of 512 gb for users with 10+ cameras may be insufficient. https://community.ring.com/t/ring-edge-on-alarm-pro-local-video-storage/84796?u=tch626

Bad business decision by ring. Owing to lack of RTSP feed I have removed and replaced with doorbird.

Same here. I keep m ring devices for some time but the next "upgrade" will also be a complete replace as Ring refuses to add this feature.

[quote="687, post:48, topic:4424"]RTSP and ONVIF[/quote]This, would pay to get access. Also, this would allow me to extend on the Ring platform by adding additional Ring cameras. Even though I like the cams, I now cannot purchase them because of not being able to add them to Surveillance Station
