Indeed, for example, those Nest cameras Amazon pushes as a combo deal with Echo devices do NOT have built-in storage, nor can they be attached via ethernet to a DVR. So the only option you would have with them Wodin is to use the Nest Cloud or purchase another brand of camera. You indeed have the option to purchase a brand like Amcrest that can store on the camera or on a DVR via ethernet connection, but you cannot make a Nest camera, or many other brands, use local storage because they don't have local storage. BTW, the Amcrest cameras don't store on your computer, they store on SD cards within the camera. You can download that to your computer, but you don't have to.
